These crises are driven by generalised violence, recurrent extreme weather events, structural poverty and inequality, political instability, and other factors. For the second consecutive year, the number of people in need of humanitarian assistance in NCA has increased and it is now estimated at a staggering 9.3 million (OCHA 2022), almost 30 per cent of the overall population.</p> <p>Central America is the region with the highest homicide rate in the world and life is particularly difficult for women and girls. According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), as of 2022, 4.8 million people are in need of protection assistance and over 8 million are food insecure.</p> <p><span data-contrast="none">Meanwhile, the number of people crossing or stranded in NCA and Mexico in increasingly dangerous conditions aiming to enter the United States keeps reaching new heights, adding more pressure to host communities and overwhelming migration and protection authorities across the region. </span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":257}"> </span></p> <p> </p> </div> </div> </div><div><div class="country-effort-block block-padding country-effort-block--article-width block-width--default"> <ul class="country-efforts"> <li class="country-effort"> <div class="country-effort-content"> <span class="country-effort__icon" data-svg="education"></span> <div class="effort-number">4,780</div> <div class="effort-text">people benefited from our education programme in 2023</div> </div> </li> <li class="country-effort"> <div class="country-effort-content"> <span class="country-effort__icon" data-svg="food-security"></span> <div class="effort-number">6,449</div> <div class="effort-text">people benefited from our food security programme</div> </div> </li> <li class="country-effort"> <div class="country-effort-content"> <span class="country-effort__icon" data-svg="shelter"></span> <div class="effort-number">8,110</div> <div class="effort-text">people benefited from our shelter programme</div> </div> </li> <li class="country-effort"> <div class="country-effort-content"> <span class="country-effort__icon" data-svg="camp-management"></span> <div class="effort-number">12,563</div> <div class="effort-text">people benefited from our protection programme</div> </div> </li> <li class="country-effort"> <div class="country-effort-content"> <span class="country-effort__icon" data-svg="legal-help"></span> <div class="effort-number">7,356</div> <div class="effort-text">people benefited from our ICLA programme</div> </div> </li> <li class="country-effort"> <div class="country-effort-content"> <span class="country-effort__icon" data-svg="clean-water"></span> <div class="effort-number">2,762</div> <div class="effort-text">people benefited from our WASH programme</div> </div> </li> </ul> </div></div><div> <div class="page-wrapper htmlblock block-padding block-width--default show--all show--all" > <div class="html richtext"> <p> </p> <h2>NRC's operation</h2> <p>NRC has been working in the region since 2014, meeting the needs of tens of thousands affected by violence and disasters, including the internally displaced, refugees, people in need of international protection, deported people, their hosts, and children and youth out of school or at risk of dropping out.</p> <p>We contribute to the development of policy aiming to protect the rights of the displaced and we call for increased humanitarian funding and engagement on processes that will generate structural changes in protection and assistance in the region.</p> <p> </p> </div> </div> </div><div> <div class="page-wrapper htmlblock block-padding block-width--default show--all show--all" > <div class="html richtext"> <h2><img style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;" alt="NRC Education" src="/globalassets/graphics/icons/_new-nrc-icons-2017/circle-rgb/75px_symbol-education-rgb-circle-orange.jpg" height="50" width="50" />Education</h2> </div> </div> </div><div> <div class="page-wrapper htmlblock block-padding block-width--default show--all show--all" > <div class="html richtext"> <p> </p> <p>We work to ensure that children and youth have access to education and safe schools, despite violence and displacement.
