Summary

Challenges and how delivery stayed on track
Two factors shaped delivery:
Volatile market prices meant the team had to keep adjusting the budget as costs changed.
A rise in newly displaced families increased demand, so the team prioritised households with the least access to food.
Despite these constraints, distribution stayed on track through community-led coordination and flexible planning.
