Strengthening Partnerships for Impact: Highlights from the 2026 Operational Updates Meeting in
Adjumani
On 5 February 2026, Women, Children and Youth Initiative (WCAYI) participated in the 2026 Operational Updates Partner Meeting convened by the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) in Adjumani Refugee Settlement, alongside UNHCR, WFP, implementing partners, CBOs, and RLOs.
The meeting aimed to strengthen collaboration through formal partner introductions, align operational
priorities for 2026, and improve coordination by clarifying who does what and where within the settlement.
Partners also reflected on key challenges from 2025, including resource constraints, and discussed
lessons to inform more resilient programming in 2026.
WCAYI emphasized the importance of inclusive partnerships that recognize local actors and reaffirmed its
commitment to advancing gender equality, child protection, and youth empowerment through community-driven approaches.
As we move into 2026, WCAYI looks forward to continued collaboration to ensure women, children, and
youth in Palorinya Settlement, Obongi District are protected, empowered, and supported to thrive.
