Programme Overview
The PEARL Programme focuses on food security, gender equality, livelihoods and safe communities. Through food and nutrition interventions, gender and equity initiatives, and community safety and peacebuilding activities, FHSI works to reduce vulnerability, inequality, violence and social exclusion.
Core Focus Areas
- Food & Nutrition Security: Promoting sustainable agricultural practices and improving nutritional outcomes
- Gender Equality: Addressing gender-based violence and promoting equitable opportunities
- Livelihood Development: Supporting sustainable income-generating activities
- Community Safety & Peacebuilding: Fostering social stability and protecting individual rights
