SUMMARY
-
OCHA/UNJLC and donors reviewed pre-rainy season NFI pipeline gaps. Only 30% of the “first tier” NFI commodities appealed for 2005 have been received and will compromise stock management and distribution objectives which are to raise stock levels to 75% before the onset of rains (June-July) and to secure the remaining 25% before September 2005. Unless additional funds or donations in kind are received these objectives will not be met. See more on NFIs at para. 3 below.
