Imminent 2026 agricultural collapseWith 94% of farmers lacking seeds
and 79% not preparing fields, the 2026 harvest is at near-total risk. A harvest failure in Q3–Q4
2026 will dramatically worsen already acute food insecurity for hundreds of thousands of people
unless emergency seed distribution occurs before planting windows close.
⚠️
IYCF programme coverage cannot be reliably quantified41% of sites
provided no response to the IYCF question. Of the 87 sites that responded, most identified
implementing agencies rather than confirming an active programme. Only 24 sites gave a clear
affirmative. IYCF needs should be assessed through a dedicated nutrition survey.

GBV is pervasive and severely under-servedGBV reported at 94% of sites.
Forced/early marriage at 74% of all sites is the dominant form — driven by poverty and breakdown of
protective social structures. Survival sex at 17% of sites reflects acute economic desperation.
Police used at only 4% of sites, clinics at 1.4% — formal protection mechanisms are effectively
absent.
⚠️ GBV types reported at sites
🆘 Help-seeking pathways for GBV
⚠️
Police = 6 sites (4%); clinics = 2 sites (1.4%). Combined
formal pathway used at only 5.4% of sites. Community leaders and family are the de facto
protection entry points.

Fear of attack is the dominant education barrier — not
infrastructureFear of sending children to school is reported at 61 sites, tied with
lack of materials (61 sites). "No school building" is reported at only 39 sites. Safe access and
material provision must be prioritised alongside physical construction.
📊 Education barriers — sites reporting each reason
🧒 Gender split — enrolled children
ℹ️
Girls outnumber boys among enrolled students (59.8% vs
40.2%)Counterintuitive given pervasive forced marriage at 74% of sites. Boys
may be disproportionately pulled into labour or conflict-related activities, or face greater
security risks traveling to school. Education cluster partners should investigate this
further.

| No school attendance at all | 63 sites | 43% | Complete education blackout — multi-barrier response required |
| Fear of attack — top barrier | 61 sites | 41% | School safety and community confidence-building are as critical as buildings |
| No learning materials — top barrier | 61 sites | 41% | Material procurement and distribution urgently needed |
| No school building | 39 sites | 27% | Real gap, but not the dominant barrier |
| No teachers | 37 sites | 25% | Teacher deployment and incentive schemes required |

Infrastructure Damage
Damage status across all key public facilities — schools, hospitals, roads, boreholes, and markets
⚠️
Infrastructure damage compounds every other sector gapRoughly half of
all key facilities are partially damaged; 5–7% are totally destroyed. Partially damaged hospitals
with depleted drug stocks have no operational capacity. Damaged boreholes in areas with fecal
contamination directly worsen the disease picture. Damaged roads impede every humanitarian supply
chain.
