OCHA coordination unit to close

    ABIDJAN

    The OCHA Field Coordination Unit will close on 31 March and the production of its humanitarian situation reports will cease, OCHA reported, as Guinea-Bissau moves along the transition from relief to development.

    "The new government in place marks the end of civil conflict," OCHA said. "It is hoped that rehabilitation and reconstruction activities will gather speed under the direction of the new ministries...assistance interrupted by the war is slowly restarting."
