Our collaboration with DG ECHO dates back to 1992, when we signed our Framework Partnership Agreement. to work on Palestine together. More than 30 years later, in 2023 and 2024, we worked together in 5 countries – Haiti, Lebanon, Mali, Mozambique, Palestine and Syria - with 7 projects in response to emergencies while enhancing the following domains of change:
- WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene)
- Education
- Livelihood and Food Security
- Gender and Protection
- Climate and Environment
In total, in 2023 and 2024, together with DG ECHO and our 8 partners, we have reached 570.239 people in vulnerable conditions, 76% of whom are women and children.
WeWorld joins DG ECHO’s mandate through its longstanding commitment to intervene in response to emergencies, to expand more and more such response, and to do so ensuring that humanitarian aid can facilitate the reconstruction process in the territories affected by crises.

Stories from our projects
In the projects we carry out together with the DG ECHO, we want to put the people we work for and with at the center of the story, highlighting the specificities of the contexts where we intervene. For this reason, we develop diverse communication products in multiple languages, so as to reach a variety of audiences and bring them closer to the reality of areas isolated from the spotlight of the European and international media.
Here are some examples of these products:
An innovative narration for a longstanding issue jointly addressed in Syria: access to a safe, inclusive and quality education for all children. The animation narrates the complexity of the Syrian crisis in a story accessible to all, where the protagonist is Amal, one child that represents them all.
The writer and artist Takoua Ben Mohamed used her outstanding reporting abilities to narrate the day-to-day tasks of the WeWorld workers operating in Mozambique to contribute to tackle the most extreme effects of climate change.
