They showcased their interventions and efficiencies to donors, the United Nations (UN), and other key stakeholders in preparation for the prospective Joint Response Plan (JRP) cycle. Over 30 member NGOs participated in the marketplaces, highlighting their respective initiatives.

Simultaneously, the NGOP All-Members Meeting was held, which facilitated the gathering of government officials, donors, UN representatives, the Inter-Sector Coordination Group (ISCG), sectoral groups, and all member agencies of NGOP.
