Since 2017, CARE has piloted and refined our VSLA in Emergencies model to reach people in need of humanitarian assistance and provide an approach that can reduce long term vulnerability while being more sustainable. In this second report on the VSLA in Emergencies (VSLAiE) pilot research, we provide insights from three pilots in Yemen, Syria, and Jordan. This includes the end of pilot findings from Syria and Jordan as well as the results from our Yemen sustainability study. As a result of funding from IDEAL Small Grants Program, CARE has been able to return to communities in Yemen, one year after the end of the first cycle and observe the sustainability of the gains from the pilot project.
CARE’s localization model blends principles of both locally-led development and diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) with an emphasis on shifting power to the local level. We intentionally center women, girls, and marginalized communities in everything that we do to ensure that the voices of underrepresented, underserved, and vulnerable populations lead and shape development solutions and humanitarian response.
