FITTEST Digital Assistance Surge in Niger - 2021

Amid COVID-19, FITTEST DAS expanded cash assistance to alleviate the impact of the pandemic on the country’s most vulnerable.

With a specialist team, FITTEST provides services ranging from assessment and planning, to deployment and localized capacity building, to handover and evaluation.

In emergency situations, having the right skills, training and knowledge can mean the difference between saving lives and losing them.

Over the past decade, the World Food Programme has been using cash transfers more often alongside food deliveries to provide assistance to people in need.

The ability to communicate is vital to all humanitarian operations, particularly for supporting the safety and security of staff in the field.

Whether working amid conflict, civil unrest, state-steady contexts or in areas affected by natural or medical emergencies, the safety and security of humanitarians and assets is paramount.

Power plays an important role in humanitarian responses. In an emergency, electricity becomes a rare commodity along with water, food and shelter.

Quick and effective communication is key to saving more lives by ensuring a coordinated humanitarian response that avoids duplication of effort.
