Summary of major revisions made to emergency plan of action:

This update is to inform stakeholders on Guinea DREF response progress from September to December 2021 and extend the time frame for 02 additional months. New end date is 31 March 2022 for a total duration of 06 months.
Budget and strategy remain the same from the DREF plan. Most of the activities (around 60%) planned have been completed and the extension is to allow the completion of the following ones:

• Facilitate the final instalment of DREF funds to NS. The biggest part is for the FSP mobile cash transfer execution.

• Support NS completion of ongoing Sanitation campaigns and other community engagement activities.

• Support the last transfer of funds to the beneficiaries following IFRC standard. Those funds include the second part of the planned cash assistance for WASH activities to 2,000 households.

• Support post distribution monitoring (PDM) with technical support from the Cluster Delegation PMER unit

• Support Lessons learnt workshop (LLW) to generate learning from the operations

• IFRC monitoring visit involving the PMER and Operations Officers to monitor quality of implementation, and support PDM and LLW.

Extension is required because of delay in implementation due to challenges in the response. Mainly on cash assistance, that represents the biggest part of this operation. It took around one month to the NS to get the main list of affected households from the government institution to enable the registration, administrative issue on which team could only wait and follow-up. The process in most cases required visit to the Sungari branch, and field monitoring visit to monitor beneficiaries’ selection and modalities of cash transfer; all these delayed the transfer of second instalment to the NS.

In addition, the returns reconciliation with National Society (NS) has requested several meetings and monitoring activities to get required additional information, hence additional delay on reporting and final transfer to the NS.
