Funding for early childhood development in emergencies has long been critically insufficient across countries and globally, with only 2% or 3% of overall funding reaching children affected by violence and crisis. Compounded by a global decline in development assistance, the unmet needs of young children in emergencies have become even more acute. MMA seeks to address these funding gaps by advocating for increased investment, supporting programming, and centering local and refugee leaders in strategy development and implementation.

This consultancy is part of an MMA initiative that responds directly to the evolving global financing context, which will be implemented in two – three countries, including Nigeria. We are working to finalize the remaining contexts, and welcome expressions of interest.
