Problem definition

Household stability gaps

Despite increased attention, households in Enugu still lose access to schooling, basic care, and income when shocks occur because delivery systems are fragmented and support is not timed to local constraints.

CANA addresses this by defining programme envelopes, coordinating partner delivery, and documenting outcomes so support remains traceable and repeatable.

Methodology

Delivery model

CANA delivers structured support through defined programmes, partner-led execution, and documented review cycles.

Programmes prevent the loss of schooling, health access, or housing when households face shocks. Each programme sets criteria, reporting cadence, and review checkpoints.

Delivery is channelled through partners with documented responsibilities. Every intervention is recorded and reviewed to maintain traceability.

Principle 1
Structured assistance with clear entry and exit criteria.
Principle 2
Partnership-first delivery with accountable local institutions.
Principle 3
Documentation and review before, during, and after support.
Principle 4
Privacy, safety, and dignity protected at every step.
