The Rapid Needs Assessment (RNA), conducted between October and November 2025 as a joint initiative with members of the Child Protection Sub-Working Group (UNHCR, UNICEF, Save the Children (SCI), Plan International, and Caritas), aimed to identify protection needs of children at risk, including unaccompanied and separated children (UASC), in Egypt, and inform key priorities and programming in 2026. The RNA was conducted through phone interviews with 312 children and caregivers. The RNA highlights those key risks facing children which include lack of safety, significant gaps with regards of school enrolment, inability of families to meet basic needs for their children resorting to negative coping strategies such as reducing food consumption, borrowing money, and child labour. This reflects the constraints in funding and services in the past year, which has affected refugee communities significantly.
