Project Summary

The project aims to address the challenges faced by IDPs and ecological refugees in Adamawa and Bayelsa States, by focusing on their displacement challenges and responding to their humanitarian needs.

The proposed program focuses on two states of Nigeria: Adamawa and Bayelsa. Adamawa state is in the North-East geopolitical zone with a huge influx of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) from the neighboring Borno state and its environs, leading to strained resources and high protection risks in unorganized camps. On the other hand, Bayelsa state in the Niger Delta region is prone to and suffers, perennial flooding with associated loss of livelihoods, environmental hazards, mass displacements (ecological refugees) in unsanitary shanty settlements with human misery. The project seeks to address involuntary relocation, poor living conditions, conflictual attacks, and spiraling insecurity. The crisis in northeastern Nigeria has affected millions, resulting in casualties and displacements.
