More than 1.5 million people received ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳and Emergency Social Safety Net (ESSN) assistance in January - February 2024.
? US$23.5 million was transferred to ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳beneficiaries in February. An increase from January, following the reinstatement of the National poverty targeting programme (NPTP) cash assistance in February after being paused due to a lack of available funds.
? In February, similarly to previous months, most households displayed confidence in using ATMs.
? The call center noted a substantial rise in call volume for NPTP claims, attributed to the adjustment in transfer value and the temporary suspension of assistance in January. Conversely, there was a decline in call volume for the Syrian response, following a notable surge in Nov-Dec due to the implementation of retargeting.
? The South emergency response reached 100,000 people affected by the conflict.
