World Food Programme (WFP) has confirmed the rollout of anticipatory cash assistance to over 60,000 people living in flood-prone communities in Adamawa state, Nigeria.
The initiative is aimed at helping families prepare ahead of disasters, protect their livelihoods, and reduce the impact of floods before they strike.
