Key Messages
Humanitarian response activities are required during the transition to recovery, particularly in peri-urban and rural areas where assistance has been limited to date.
Enhanced and coordinated communication with communities on government recovery programs is required as confusion remains on how and where to access assistance.
Humanitarian needs persist in spontaneous settlements, especially in rural areas, and people require assistance in situ.
Transition planning, including handover to local partners and government counterparts, must begin soon to ensure continued collaboration and avoid gaps in coordination or assistance.
