NOTE: Due to the ban on National female staff working for NGOs on 24th Dec 2022, there was only a partial implementation of activities which continues to negatively impact on our achievements in the first half of 2023 especially reach to children and women. However, all possible operational adaptation modalities are being explored to sustain implementation of activities including integration with education and health facilities and use of virtual or remote approaches for delivering case management and PSS. The raise of achievement in February was due to backlogs of reports completed leading to rise in percentage of reach.
