Facing Climate Shocks: Protection Risks in Drought-Affected Zambia
Drought deepens vulnerabilities for women, children, and marginalized groups
Highlights
Rapid Assessment of Protection Risks and Service Mapping in Drought-Affected Areas of Southern and Western Provinces of Zambia Report: The Rapid Assessment of Protection Risks and Service Mapping was conducted across six drought-affected districts in Southern and Western Provinces of Zambia to assess the impact of climate-induced crises on vulnerable populations and evaluate the availability and effectiveness of protection services. Commissioned by UNICEF and aligned with the European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO) framework, the rapid assessment aimed to identify protection risks, assess service delivery gaps, and recommend strategies to improve humanitarian interventions. This assessment provides evidence-based insights to strengthen protection mechanisms and ensure humanitarian interventions prioritize dignity, safety, accountability, and meaningful access for all affected populations.
