This report provides an update on the situation in each of our program locations, as well as summarizing the activities undertaken so far by our partners with ERF funding, and the early impact we’re seeing. This is a mere snapshot, as response activities will continue across all our program locations for some time.

It is also an opportunity to summarize our observations over the past months, which have powerfully reconfirmed our creed that frontline groups and community structures need to be at the heart of any sustainable and equitable path to recovery and development, both in terms of the essential services they provide, and as key drivers of community awareness, emancipation and joint advocacy.
