Challenges Food distribution in some locations experienced delays due to ongoing • changes in customs administration. The situation was resolved through the intervention of the National Ebola Incident Management System. The frequent change in geographic location of the outbreak required • WFP to put in place preparedness measures including the deployment of staff and logistics capacity in all 15 counties that will allow for rapid response to new hotspots as they emerged. Organizing food distribution for EVD orphans in different locations in all • 15 counties Providing food assistance to institutionalized non-EVD related orphans • •
