Household targeting and community engagement
406 households were enumerated during the response’s targeting activities, with CADEF supporting local engagement and enumeration alongside response partners. This helped teams identify affected households and organise assistance.
Learning from the response
The response highlighted the value of local partnerships and community-led mobilisation. Lessons include communicating eligibility and kit contents early, clarifying collection arrangements and reconciling stock and distribution records promptly to strengthen accountability.
