access is a constraint.
• Very Limited access by road for assessment. Air assessments are the
alternative used by all humanitarian agencies.
• PDNA is planned but dates not clear.
• FSN Post-shock assessment planned for end of April, when access will be
better to visit random selected communities instead depending on secondary
data, mainly provided by local authorities, or going only along the main roads
like it is done currently.
