Prioritizing Urgent Needs Across Regional Plans in 2025

In 2025, eight Regional Plans (RRPs, 3RP, RMRP, and JRP) have been rigorously reprioritized to ensure that scarce resources go where they are needed most. This “first phase” focus directs funding to activities that save lives, protect those forced to flee, and stabilize communities.

Guided by a tiered global framework and refined through local consultation, the prioritization process channels immediate support to:

Lifesaving and protection: such as food, water, shelter, emergency health care, registration, urgent protection referrals.
Time-sensitive support: such as humanitarian transport, livelihoods, education, health, and community outreach to prevent deterioration.
Longer-term integration and capacity-building activities are deferred, except where context makes them critical.

Out of 33.6 million people originally targeted, the reprioritized response will focus on 27 million—with $8.65 billion of the $12.3 billion appeal dedicated to the most urgent needs.

Urgency looks different in each context, depending on displacement duration, national policies, local development levels, and funding trends. Where possible, the plans prioritize local and national actors delivering high-impact, front-line services. Even with reduced resources, partners are committed to ensuring the most vulnerable receive the protection and assistance they need to survive, recover, and rebuild their lives.
