Challenges in achieving strategic priorities

– Limited NGO capacity and in-country presence, especially of international NGOs.

– Government staff turnover and its implication on the collapse of the health system

– The collapse of the banking system in some governorates in the South– Constant changes to the operational environment and increased

operational costs (e.g. due to insecurity , reduced INGOs presence , having to use mobile modalities and increased fuel costs)

– Inadequate field monitoring due to insecurity.– Insufficient timeliness and completeness of routine reporting. – Ongoing displacement and population movements.– Predictability of the funding / donors conditions .
