Lasting prevention starts with opportunity and strong communities. In this area we support participatory community development, youth skills and employment, poverty reduction and economic resilience, so that young people and families have safe and dignified alternatives at home.

We also work on child protection and safeguarding, and on human rights and community-based protection, helping communities to look after their most vulnerable members. Communities are our partners: they set priorities, take part in decisions and own the results.
