How has ongoing insecurity in the Sahel area – including localised armed rebellions and the activity of groups linked to al-Qaeda in several countries – affected Oxfam’s programme responses?
In Niger and Mali, there has been no disruption of programmes but Oxfam continues to review its security procedures and monitors the context carefully. In both countries, Oxfam works with partners who are able to operate in more remote areas. In Chad, Oxfam has started to resume its emergency operations following security incidents in the east of the country.
