Humanitarian access and market functioning have been severely impacted by deteriorating security and changes in territorial control. This has affected the availability of cash at banks, microfinance institutions, and mobile money agents. Difficulties in obtaining cash, withdrawal restrictions, and exchange rate volatility are complicating the implementation of cash transfer interventions.

Disruptions to the financial system are causing challenges, including constraints on transporting funds. These constraints can have significant consequences. Further details on the situation and its effects are available from the Cash Working Group's advocacy note.
