FROM CRISIS TO SUSTAINABILITY, WE TACKLE THE DIRECT AND UNDERLYING CAUSES OF HUNGER THROUGH INTEGRATED, HOLISTIC SOLUTIONS. 0 1 17818205 13757 ETHIOPIA:2020 WAS MANIFESTED BY OVERLAPPING HUMANITARIAN CRISES: THE EFFECTS OF COVID-19 ON THE PROVISION OF HEALTH AND NUTRITION SERVICES, THE WORST DESERT LOCUST INFESTATION EVER RECORDED IN THE HORN OF AFRICA, FLASH FLOODS ALONG MAJOR RIVERS, POCKETS OF DROUGHT-AFFECTED AREAS, PERSISTENT HIGH LEVELS OF FOOD AND NUTRITION INSECURITY, AND ESCALATED CONFLICT IN WESTERN OROMIA, TIGRAY AND BORDERING AREAS. TOGETHER THESE HAVE INCREASED THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN NEED OF HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE IN ETHIOPIA TO 19.2 MILLION. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, MUCH OF THE COUNTRY REMAINED IN A PHASE 3/CRISIS STATUS OF FOOD INSECURITY. THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC HAS EXACERBATED PRE-EXISTING INEQUALITIES, AS ALREADY SOCIALLY AND ECONOMICALLY MARGINALIZED POPULATION GROUPS HAVE BEEN HARDEST HIT INDIVIDUALS' LIVELIHOODS, EDUCATION, PROTECTION AND GENERAL WELLBEING HAVE BEEN AFFECTED, WITH SPECIFIC IMPACTS ON THE WELLBEING OF CHILDREN AND PLW. IN 2020, ACTION AGAINST HUNGER IN ETHIOPIA CONTINUED TO PROVIDE HUMANITARIAN AND DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE TO ABOUT 1 MILLION PEOPLE. OF THESE, 668,956 PEOPLE, INCLUDING 22,591 SAM CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF FIVE, WERE REACHED THROUGH CURATIVE AND PREVENTIVE NUTRITION AND HEALTH ACTIVITIES. A FURTHER 762,813 INDIVIDUALS BENEFITTED FROM THE CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE OF 82 WATER SYSTEMS AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF VARIOUS SANITATION AND HYGIENE ACTIVITIES. MHPSS SERVICES WERE PROVIDED FOR 261,425 INDIVIDUALS, AND THE TEAM ALSO DISTRIBUTED 1.36M TO 141,550 OF THE MOST VULNERABLE COMMUNITY MEMBERS. THE COUNTRY OFFICE RAPIDLY ADAPTED TO THE NEW REALITY OF COVID-19, PRODUCING AN ADAPTIVE PROGRAMMING GUIDELINE, BASED ON GOVERNMENTAL RESTRICTIONS, WHICH ALLOWED THE MAJORITY OF CRITICAL LIFESAVING ACTIVITIES TO CONTINUE. THE IMPLEMENTED ADAPTATIONS INCLUDE THE INTRODUCTION AND INTENSIFICATION OF THE FAMILY MUAC APPROACH, AVOIDANCE AND MINIMISATION OF ASSESSMENTS AND DIRECT CONTACTS WITH BENEFICIARIES, REDUCTION OF FOOD DISTRIBUTION FREQUENCIES, AND THE INSTALLATION OF HANDWASHING STATIONS IN ALL FACILITIES AND PUBLIC PLACES. 15982184 SOMALIA:SOMALIA FACES ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST COMPLEX AND LONGSTANDING HUMANITARIAN CRISES, CHARACTERIZED BY ONGOING CONFLICTS, CLIMATE SHOCKS, INCLUDING FLOODS AND DROUGHT, COMMUNICABLE DISEASE OUTBREAKS AND WEAK SOCIAL PROTECTION. IN 2020, ADDITIONAL SHOCKS, INCLUDING THE DESERT LOCUST UPSURGE AND COVID-19 CONTRIBUTED TO A DETERIORATION OF HUMANITARIAN CONDITIONS LEAVING 5.2 MILLION PEOPLE IN NEED. 893,000 PEOPLE WERE DISPLACED BETWEEN JANUARY AND AUGUST 2020 DUE TO FLOODS AND INSECURITY/CONFLICT. BY THE END OF 2020, IT WAS ESTIMATED THAT CRISIS AND EMERGENCY LEVELS OF FOOD INSECURITY ROSE BY 40%, WITH THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ACUTELY MALNOURISHED CHILDREN UNDER FIVE ESTIMATED TO REACH ALMOST 1 MILLION BY THE END OF 2020. POOR HOUSEHOLD HYGIENE IS A MAJOR RISK FACTOR FOR MALNUTRITION, BUT AVAILABILITY OF WATER AND SOAP IS LOW. THE PANDEMIC FURTHER STRAINED THE ALREADY WEAK HEALTH SYSTEM'S CAPACITY TO PROVIDE HEALTHCARE. COVID-19-RELATED GOVERNMENT DIRECTIVES AND DISRUPTIONS TO IMPORTS AND DOMESTIC SUPPLY CHAINS AFFECTED THE AVAILABILITY OF BASIC COMMODITIES, AS WELL INCREASING PRICES. THE COUNTRY ALSO EXPERIENCED LOSS OF LIVELIHOOD-OPPORTUNITIES DUE TO A STAGNANT LABOUR MARKET. THESE IMPACTS ADDED TO THE PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTRESS BROUGHT ABOUT BY THE IMMEDIATE IMPACT OF THE PANDEMIC. ACTION AGAINST HUNGER IN SOMALIA IMPROVED NUTRITION-SECURITY OUTCOMES BY ADDRESSING IMMEDIATE AND UNDERLYING CAUSES OF MALNUTRITION, REACHING 546,519 AFFECTED PEOPLE IN 2020. THE COUNTRY OFFICE REACHED 76,959 INDIVIDUALS THROUGH IMPROVED NUTRITIONAL KNOWLEDGE AND STATUS, AND IMPROVED ACCESS TO PREVENTIVE AND CURATIVE NUTRITION. THE PROGRAM ALSO PROVIDED ACCESS TO PRIMARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO 175,525 BENEFICIARIES, 195,870 PEOPLE RECEIVED ENHANCED WASH SERVICES AND 98,165 PEOPLE WERE SUPPORTED THROUGH FSL INTERVENTIONS. ACTION AGAINST HUNGER FOSTERED PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY ACTORS AND GOVERNMENT MINISTRIES IN ORDER TO SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENT THESE INTERVENTIONS. THE COUNTRY OFFICE ADAPTED AND REPRIORITIZED EXISTING ACTIVITIES AND ROLLED OUT FOUR NEW PROGRAMS TO RESPOND TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. COMMUNITY SENSITIZATION AND AWARENESS-RAISING, INCLUDING MESSAGING ON PHONES AND RADIO, INTEGRATED COVID-19 MITIGATION INTO HEALTH PROMOTION ACTIVITIES. TRAINING WAS EXPANDED FOR HEALTH STAFF AND HELD VIRTUALLY OR IN SMALLER GROUPS, WHILE FREQUENCY OF NUTRITION-SERVICE PROVISION WAS DECREASED TO REDUCE INTERACTIONS. 13413484 SOUTH SUDAN: DUE TO CUMULATIVE EFFECTS OF PROLONGED CONFLICT, THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, CHRONIC VULNERABILITIES AND WEAK ESSENTIAL SERVICES, SOUTH SUDAN REMAINS IN CRISIS, WITH 7.24 MILLION PEOPLE EXPECTED TO FACE SEVERE ACUTE FOOD INSECURITY IN EARLY 2021 AND AROUND 2.5 MILLION PEOPLE ONE STEP AWAY FROM FAMINE. AROUND 1.4 MILLION CHILDREN UNDER FIVE ARE LIKELY TO BE ACUTELY MALNOURISHED IN 2021, INCLUDING 313,000 CHILDREN SUFFERING FROM SEVERE ACUTE MALNUTRITION. ADDITIONALLY, 483,000 PREGNANT AND BREASTFEEDING WOMEN ARE PROJECTED TO EXPERIENCE MODERATE MALNUTRITION. FOOD INSECURITY IS A KEY DRIVER FOR THE HIGH NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN NEED IN SOUTH SUDAN. CLIMATIC EXTREMES HAVE LED TO SEVERE FLOODING, DISPLACEMENT, LOSS OF CROPS AND LIVESTOCK, INCREASED HUMAN AND LIVESTOCK DISEASES, CATTLE RAIDING, HIGH FOOD PRICES, AND INTER-COMMUNAL CONFLICT RESULTING IN LIMITED HUMANITARIAN ACCESS. IN ADDITION, COVID-19 HAS CAUSED DISRUPTION TO SUPPLY CHAINS AND LED TO RESTRICTIONS ON MOVEMENT AND MARKETS, AFFECTING HUMANITARIAN AID DELIVERY AND REDUCING BOTH MARKET FUNCTIONALITY AND THE ABILITY TO PURCHASE FOOD, DUE TO HIGH PRICES. ACTION AGAINST HUNGER PREVENTS HUNGER AND TREATS MALNOURISHED CHILDREN UNDER FIVE, AS WELL AS PREGNANT AND BREASTFEEDING WOMEN, AND IS OFTEN THE ONLY ORGANIZATION PROVIDING LIFESAVING HEALTH AND NUTRITION SERVICES IN SOME REMOTE AREAS OF SOUTH SUDAN. TO IMPROVE FOOD SECURITY AND PREVENT MALNUTRITION, THE COUNTRY OFFICE SUPPORTED MORE THAN 5,000 FARMERS WITH TRAINING AND TOOLS TO GROW NUTRITIOUS CROPS, HELPED VULNERABLE PEOPLE GAIN ACCESS TO WORK AND AN INCOME, AND PROVIDED FOOD BASKETS TO FAMILIES AFFECTED BY FLOODING AND THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. IN 2020, THE COUNTRY TEAM REHABILITATED 15 WATER POINTS, BUILT 792 LATRINES, DISTRIBUTED 1,523 HYGIENE KITS AND HELD 1,152 HYGIENE-PROMOTION SESSIONS. IT QUICKLY ADAPTED PROGRAMS TO ADHERE TO COUNTRY-WIDE COVID-19 PROTOCOLS, AND WORKED TO RAISE AWARENESS OF THE VIRUS AND HOW TO PREVENT ITS SPREAD. EMERGENCY TEAMS SUPPORTED 43 MOBILE NUTRITION POSTS AND THREE NUTRITION TREATMENT CENTERS, REHABILITATED 33 WATER POINTS, CONSTRUCTED 28 LATRINES IN PUBLIC SPACES, DISTRIBUTED KEY WASH SUPPLIES, TRAINED PEOPLE ON VEGETABLE FARMING AND FISHING, AND PROVIDED PSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORT TO VULNERABLE PEOPLE. THEY ALSO CARRIED OUT FOUR NUTRITION SURVEYS, HELPING TO PROVIDE KEY DATA ON THE STATE OF HUNGER IN SOUTH SUDAN. 10462052 KENYA:PREVALENCE OF MALNUTRITION REMAINS A CRITICAL ISSUE ACROSS KENYA, WITH 26.6% OF CHILDREN UNDER FIVE YEARS OLD AFFECTED BY STUNTING AND 4.2% BY WASTING. INDICATORS ON COPING STRATEGIES REVEAL THAT FOOD INSECURITY HAS INCREASED IN THE COUNTRY. NATIONAL WASH INDICATORS ALSO SHOW THAT NEARBY ACCESS TO WATER FROM PROTECTED SOURCES IS AT 60% AND ACCESS TO LATRINES/ TOILETS IS AT 54.6%. HANDWASHING AT THE FOUR CRITICAL TIMES IS AT 7.5%. KENYA'S RESPONSE TO COVID-19 WAS FOCUSED ON MITIGATION AND CONTROL MEASURES, TRIGGERING A DIVERSION OF FUNDS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN MADE AVAILABLE FOR MALNUTRITION TREATMENT. HOWEVER, THE COUNTRY'S INTENSIFIED CAMPAIGNS ON HANDWASHING HAVE LED TO A REDUCTION OF WASH-RELATED DISEASES. ACTION AGAINST HUNGER IN KENYA TOOK THE LEAD IN RESPONDING TO THE READY-TO-USE THERAPEUTIC FOOD SHORTAGE GAP AND SUPPORTED 100,431 PEOPLE WITH NUTRITION TREATMENT, INCLUDING 69,744 CHILDREN. A TOTAL OF 156,370 PEOPLE RECEIVED HEALTH SERVICES, AND THE TEAM LED THE MATERNITY OPEN DAY INITIATIVE TO INCREASE THE DEMAND FOR SKILLED BIRTH ATTENDANCE. THE COUNTRY OFFICE REACHED 155,861 PEOPLE WITH WASH INTERVENTIONS, INCLUDING THE DISTRIBUTION OF 106,544 NFIS AND THE REHABILITATION OF 24 WATER POINTS THAT INCLUDED CLIMATE-SENSITIVE UPGRADES TO SOLAR-POWERED PUMPS AND 268 LATRINES IN COMMUNITY-LED INITIATIVES USING ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY LOCAL MATERIALS. INTERVENTIONS ON FSL BENEFITTED 14,786 PEOPLE. THE COUNTRY OFFICE SUPPORTED MASS VACCINATION OF LIVESTOCK TO SECURE HIGH PRICING IN MARKETS, AND DISTRIBUTED CASH TO EIGHT MOTHER-TO-MOTHER SUPPORT GROUPS TO CUSHION HOUSEHOLDS FROM IMMEDIATE INCOME SHOCKS AND PREVENT DETERIORATION OF THEIR NUTRITIONAL STATUS. 6466465 UGANDA:UGANDA IS THE LARGEST REFUGEE-HOSTING COUNTRY IN AFRICA, WITH OVER 1.4 MILLION REFUGEES AT THE END OF 2020. THE SITUATION FOR REFUGEES IN UGANDA WAS DOMINATED BY THE EFFECTS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. WITH TRADE, MOVEMENT AND LIVELIHOODS ACTIVITIES CURTAILED, DIETARY DIVERSITY AND MALNUTRITION RATES SLIGHTLY WORSENED OVER THE YEAR. HOWEVER, FOOD PRICES REMAINED RELATIVELY STATIC DUE TO GOOD HARVESTS. ACROSS UGANDA, CLIMATE CHANGE IS AFFECTING RAINFALL PATTERNS AND LEADING TO MORE UNPREDICTABLE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION. THE KARAMOJA REGION IN THE EAST OF THE COUNTRY CONTINUED TO SHOW TO THE WORST RATES OF MALNUTRITION AND FOOD INSECURITY NATIONWIDE. MEANWHILE, FUNDING FOR REFUGEES CONTINUED TO DROP IN 2020 DUE TO DONOR FATIGUE AND OTHER CRISES AROUND THE WORLD, WHICH LED TO A 40% RATION CUT FOR THE GENERAL FOOD DISTRIBUTION PROVIDED TO REGISTERED REFUGEES, CONSEQUENTLY INCREASING THE LEVEL OF FOOD INSECURITY. ACTION AGAINST HUNGER UGANDA'S NUTRITION PROGRAM REACHED 81,958 CHILDREN AND PREGNANT WOMEN, IN FIVE REFUGEE SETTLEMENTS, PROVIDING SUPPLEMENTARY FEEDING FOR 59,750 YOUNG CHILDREN AND NEW MOTHERS TO PREVENT MALNUTRITION, AND TREATING 13,768 ACUTELY MALNOURISHED CHILDREN, PREGNANT WOMEN AND MOTHERS. THESE SERVICES WERE COMPLEMENTED BY SENSITIZATION ON A VARIETY OF TOPICS INCLUDING HYGIENE, SANITATION, FOOD PREPARATION, HOME GARDENING, HEALTHY DIET, HEALTH SERVICE REFERRAL PATHWAYS, AND GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE. OUR FOOD SECURITY AND LIVELIHOODS INTERVENTIONS WERE ABLE TO SUPPORT 53,984 BENEFICIARIES WITH FOOD VOUCHERS, AGRICULTURAL INPUTS, TRAININGS, MARKET LINKAGES, SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION ESTABLISHMENT, INCOME GENERATING ACTIVITIES, SKILLS TRAINING AND SMALL BUSINESS START-UP SUPPORT, IN ORDER TO INCREASE THEIR SELF-RELIANCE AND RESILIENCE. WHILE OUR WASH PROGRAM ASSISTED 5,000 PEOPLE WITH HOUSEHOLD LATRINE CONSTRUCTION, HANDWASHING STATIONS, AND COMMUNITY SANITATION CAMPAIGNS. 772194 TANZANIA:CHILDHOOD UNDERNUTRITION IS A PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERN IN TANZANIA, WITH 40% OF CHILDREN AFFECTED BY CHRONIC MALNUTRITION AND MORE THAN 440,000 CHILDREN SUFFERING FROM WASTING. DESPITE NATIONAL EFFORTS, THE BURDEN REMAINS HIGH AND UNEQUALLY DISTRIBUTED ACROSS THE COUNTRY. TANZANIA IS LARGELY FOOD SECURE, HOWEVER AGRICULTURE, WHICH ACCOUNTS FOR OVER 80% OF THE COUNTRY'S EMPLOYMENT PRODUCTIVITY, IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON RAIN AS THE MAIN SOURCE OF WATER. FOOD SECURITY ASSESSMENTS CONDUCTED BY THE WORLD FOOD PROGRAM AND TANZANIA RED CROSS SOCIETY ESTIMATED THAT UP TO 2.1 MILLION PEOPLE WOULD NEED FOOD ASSISTANCE BECAUSE OF THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF COVID-19. AFTER INITIALLY CLOSING DOWN, FOLLOWING THE FIRST REPORTED CASE OF COVID-19, TANZANIA RESUMED ALMOST ALL SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES IN JUNE 2020 AND LOOSENED RESTRICTIONS ON MASS GATHERING. ACTION AGAINST HUNGER EXPANDED ITS GEOGRAPHICAL COVERAGE INTO THE SINGIDA REGION AND ADDED THREE NEW DISTRICTS TO ITS IMPROVING MATERNAL, CHILD AND ADOLESCENT HEALTH AND NUTRITION (LISHE IMARA) PROJECT. THE COUNTRY OFFICE DONATED ANTHROPOMETRIC EQUIPMENT THAT INCLUDED 120 HEIGHT BOARDS, 60 BABY-WEIGHING SCALES AND 60 MOTHER-CHILD WEIGHING SCALES, IN 101 HEALTH FACILITIES. TREATMENT FOR ACUTE MALNUTRITION WAS GIVEN TO 263 CHILDREN. COMMUNITY ACTIVATION SESSIONS REACHED 5,566 ADOLESCENT PREGNANT WOMEN AND CAREGIVERS OF CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF FIVE, WITH MESSAGES AROUND NUTRITION, HEALTH AND HYGIENE. IN ADDITION, ACTION AGAINST HUNGER INVESTED IN THE CAPACITY BUILDING OF HEALTH PROVIDERS, EQUIPPING 60 HEALTH WORKERS AND 120 COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS WITH SKILLS TO PROVIDE NUTRITION EDUCATION, COUNSELLING AND TREATMENT AMONG SEVERELY MALNOURISHED CHILDREN. 398513 CAMBODIA:DESPITE ECONOMIC GROWTH, A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE CAMBODIAN POPULATION LIVES CLOSE TO THE POVERTY LINE. UNDERNUTRITION REMAINS A MAJOR PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERN; 32% OF CHILDREN UNDER 5 SUFFER FROM STUNTING, 24% ARE UNDERWEIGHT, 10% ARE ACUTELY MALNOURISHED, AND MICRONUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES ARE WIDESPREAD. CAMBODIA IS ALSO HIGHLY VULNERABLE TO NATURAL DISASTERS, WITH REGULAR MONSOON FLOODING AND LOCALIZED DROUGHTS. LIMITED AND UNEQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION AND HEALTH SERVICES AND LOW INVESTMENT IN PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE FURTHER PERPETUATE FOOD INSECURITY AND UNDERNUTRITION. ACTION AGAINST HUNGER AIMS TO IMPROVE HYGIENE, NUTRITION, AND HEALTH PRACTICES AT THE COMMUNITY, HOUSEHOLD, AND INDIVIDUAL LEVEL, FOCUSING ON PREGNANT WOMEN, BREASTFEEDING MOTHERS, AND CHILDREN UNDER 2. BY BUILDING THE CAPACITY OF LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS AND COMMUNITIES, ACTION AGAINST HUNGER WORKS TO REDUCE UNDERNUTRITION, AND TO LESSEN THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE. IN 2019, WE CREATED 1,422 LOCAL WATER COMMITTEES, PROVIDED 1,548 PEOPLE WITH ACCESS TO LATRINES AND WATER FILTERS, FOSTERED 1,747 MOTHER-TO-MOTHER CARE GROUPS, HOSTED 915 MOTHERS AND FATHERS IN GENDER AND NUTRITION SESSIONS, AND CULTIVATED 5,310 COMMUNITY GROUPS FOCUSED ON INCREASING FOOD SECURITY THROUGH RICE BANKS, FARMING, AND HOME GARDENS. WE ENGAGED HOUSEHOLDS IN COOKING DEMONSTRATIONS, VISITED HOMES, AND PROVIDED SUPPORT TO INCREASE FOOD SECURITY. 6207964 HAITI:DUE TO ITS GEOGRAPHICAL POSITION, HAITI IS HIGHLY VULNERABLE TO NATURAL DISASTERS. HOWEVER, DISASTER RESPONSE CAPACITIES AND PREVENTION ARE INSUFFICIENT AND COMPOUNDED BY A SOCIO-POLITICAL CRISIS THAT HAS RAGED IN HAITI SINCE 2018. TO DATE, ABOUT 42% OF THE POPULATION IS IN A SITUATION OF ACUTE FOOD INSECURITY. MOREOVER, AFTER JUST BARELY RECOVERING FROM 10-YEAR-LONG CHOLERA EPIDEMICS, HAITI'S ACCESS TO DRINKING WATER, SANITATION AND HYGIENE REMAINS A MAJOR CONCERN. THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC HAS STRAINED THE ALREADY LIMITED HEALTH SYSTEM IN TERMS OF SERVICES, LOGISTICS, HUMAN RESOURCES AND STRUCTURES. ADDITIONALLY, GOVERNMENT COVID-19 RELATED MEASURES, INCLUDING THE CLOSING OF BORDERS, CONTRIBUTED TO A NOTABLE SLOWDOWN IN THE ECONOMY OF HAITI, WHICH IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON IMPORTS. PRICES HAVE SURGED AND HOUSEHOLDS HAVE EXPERIENCED SIGNIFICANT PRESSURE WITH MANY LOSING THEIR INCOME AND LIVELIHOODS, IN PARTICULAR WOMEN. ACTION AGAINST HUNGER HAITI CONTINUED TO IMPLEMENT PREVENTATIVE AND CURATIVE HEALTH AND NUTRITION ACTIVITIES AS WELL AS FSL AND WASH INTERVENTIONS. IN 2020, THE COUNTRY TEAM SCREENED 53,955 CHILDREN, REFERRING MALNOURISHED CHILDREN TO SUPPORTED HEALTH FACILITIES. A TOTAL OF 1,320 HOUSEHOLDS RECEIVED CASH TRANSFERS, 51 WATER POINTS HAVE BEEN BUILT OR REHABILITATED, AND A SOCIAL MARKETING STRATEGY WAS DEVELOPED TO INCREASE SUPPLY AND DEMAND OF HOME WATER-TREATMENT PRODUCTS. IN PREPARATION FOR NATURAL DISASTERS, THE TEAM ALSO BUILT AND REHABILITATED 62 LATRINES IN NINE STRUCTURES AND DEVELOPED A COMMUNAL EMERGENCY PLAN FOR PORT- DE-PAIX. ACTION AGAINST HUNGER SUPPORTED THE GOVERNMENT'S RESPONSE PLAN TO COVID-19, BY WORKING WITH FACILITY STAFF ON COVID-19 PREVENTION AND CONTROL ACTIVITIES AS WELL AS PROVIDING EDUCATION ON COVID-19 PREVENTION IN COMMUNITIES. 4163558 PROGRAM SUPPORT 3547777 OTHER COUNTRY AND STRATEGY PROGRAMS 32018523 79232396 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 X 30 0 1 84 1 0 1 KE OD CB HA SO TZ ET PK UG NI CG 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 14 14 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AR CA FL GA HI IL KS KY MD MA MI MN MS NH NJ NM NY NC OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WV WI X X X GARY CAMUS 2129677800 ONE WHITEHALL STREET 2ND FLOOR NEW YORK NY 10004 RAYMOND DEBBANE CHAIR & CHAIR EXEC COMM. 3.00 X X 0 0 0 JEAN-LOUIS GALLIOT FIN./INV.
