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. 13
