Access and insecurity are the key challenges in some part of the BAY states as well as partners capacity along with funding constraint. Shelter and NFI needs are huge and sector partners collectively do not have capacity to meet all the needs of vulnerable displaced population. The sector through its active partners will continue to provide lifesaving and sustaining assistance in flexible and targeted approach.
