Highlights

In 2018, the UNICEF Regional Office for West and Central Africa (WCARO) provided support and oversight for preparedness and response across major emergencies including Nigeria (Level 3 since 2016) and DRC (Level 3 since 2017). Neighbouring countries in the Lake Chad Basin - Cameroon, Chad and Niger maintained L2 status up until the end of June 2018. The ongoing crisis in the Central African Republic (Level 2) remains a corporate priority. In December 2018 the Cameroon North-West SouthWest crisis was declared a Level 2 emergency.
