12. Inconsistence and late reporting on monthly program achievements from government counterparts. Lack of reporting and monitoring tools at some health facilities. Lack of systematic drugs at some health facilities which could be linked to lack of MAM national guidelines. Late payment of staffs allowances and incentives to community volunteers, yet they work hard and this could negatively impact on program quality/demotivation. Inappropriate storage facilities at one health facility, food commodities are being stored in the laboratory. Some of thee health facilities are located far away that beneficiaries have to walk almost 2 hours, which is a serious protection issue.   Limited support supervision at some health facilities Lessons learnt from yobe tsfp
