Annual Reports

Supporting the World's Most Vulnerable Communities

In 2025, with the support of our generous donors, partners, and supporters, GOAL teams reached over 10.8 million people in 17 countries across the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Europe through our emergency response, resilient health, food and nutrition security and sustainable livelihood programmes, among others.

In 2025, I was honoured to be appointed CEO of GOAL at a time of profound change for the global humanitarian sector. Conflict, displacement, climate-related shocks and growing hunger continued to place millions of people at risk, while unprecedented reductions in humanitarian funding challenged organisations to do more with fewer resources. Despite this, GOAL continued to deliver at scale, reaching more than 10 million people with direct assistance across some of the world’s most complex humanitarian contexts.

I saw first-hand the determination, expertise and adaptability that define GOAL – from responding to conflict and displacement in East Africa and the Middle East to strengthening livelihoods and helping communities prepare for climate-related disasters. Throughout an exceptionally demanding year, our teams continued to embody GOAL’s GRIT – Guts, Resilience, Initiative and Tenacity – working alongside our partners and communities to deliver lasting impact and build resilience for the future.

Annual Report 2025: From Crisis to Resilience

In 2025, humanitarian needs remained at critical levels as communities around the world faced intensifying conflict, climate-related shocks, displacement and growing food insecurity. At the same time, unprecedented reductions in humanitarian funding placed further strain on the global response, even as hunger and displacement remained at or near record levels. Across many of the countries where GOAL works, these interconnected challenges continued to deepen vulnerability and prolong crises. In response, GOAL remained focused on delivering lifesaving assistance while working with communities and local partners to strengthen systems and build longer-term resilience.

Strategy 2025: From Crisis to Resilience continued to guide our work through its final year, recognising that today’s increasingly complex and protracted crises require solutions that respond to immediate humanitarian needs while addressing the underlying factors that make communities vulnerable to future shocks. Throughout 2025, this approach helped GOAL continue to deliver at scale in a challenging global environment, reaching 10.8 million people while strengthening local leadership and supporting communities on the journey from crisis to resilience.
