Emergency assistance to the most vulnerable people affected by the
floods in the BAY states The project aims at providing emergency assistance to the most vulnerable people affected by the floods in the BAY states to save lives and alleviate suffering, particularly amidst current disease outbreaks, malnutrition, and food security. In health, ACF will work in Damaturu, Gujba, Gulani, Geidam and Jakusko LGAs reaching about 84,602 individuals and will continue to work and build on the existing relationship with Yobe state ministry of health, health cluster and other relevant IPs and agencies in ensuring the provision of holistic response to the victim of flood and curb the spread of diseases. In line with the needs and the OCHA recommendations on flooding, ACF will provide i) timely management and treatment of childhood illness and identification/referral of U5 children with severe acute malnutrition to either outpatient treatment centers or stabilization center as the case may be ii) active case search and management of cholera, malaria and acute respiratory infection cases in five LGAs of Yobe state iii) critical lifesaving health service commodities and pharmaceuticals for the treatment of common illness including distribution of cholera kits and rapid diagnostic test kits, iv) awareness raising and sensitization on infection, prevention and control and other key response pillars, v) support the SMOH in the establishment of oral rehydration centers (ORP) or strengthen the existing ones. 
The WASH activities will be implemented in Gujba, Gulani, and Damaturu LGAs reaching about 22,180 people. Affected community members will receive chlorinated water through chlorination of water points and bucket chlorination at the community level. Water trucking will be done in locations like treatment centers or in communities strongly hit by floods, therefore not able access clean water or the existing water points are contaminated. ACF will rehabilitate about 13 water points through this project and form and train WASH committees before rehabilitations. Hygiene awareness and behavior change will be crosscutting in all areas for preparedness, cholera and flood areas. ACF will use trained hygiene promoters to carry out promotions on key messages. Door-to-door and mass communication in public places will be done to ensure reaching as many people as possible. WASH/Hygiene kits (500) will be procured and distributed accompanied by hygiene promotion sessions and messages on proper use of the items being distributed.
Providing life saving Food Security and Livelihoods support to vulnerable population in Borno and Adamawa States. Conflict stemming from the insurgency of Non-State Armed Groups (NSAGs) in the North-East Nigeria continues as intensely as ever especially in the BAY states(Borno, Adamawa and Yobe). These heinous attacks on the citizens have over the years displaced millions of people, left many traumatized, separated from families, others killed, and many still missing. It has devastated Agricultural production and depleted livelihoods assets given that the affected communities are predominantly peasant and sedentary farmers. They have been cut off from accessing basic essential services and this has caused protection crises and concern, amidst fear of continued terrorism. This has also further increased families vulnerability especially children under 5 who are severely malnourished and people living with disability. 

With the overarching goal of saving lives by providing timely and integrated food security to the most vulnerable population, Caritas Nigeria proposes to provide Agricultural Resilience Support (livelihood inputs and community-based productive asset creation activities) through multi-modality to vulnerable households in the targeted communities and camps in Borno and Adamawa states.  

Food security will provide cash-based transfer to vulnerable households especially PLW/Caregivers, and also provide Agricultural inputs including small ruminant animals and build capacity of vulnerable HHs.  This will be in consonance with food security sector standard cash for food amount per household(MEB is 46,827.33). The cash transfer for food is one tranche and is per capital approach for each targeted HHs (SOP). Farm seedlings will be distributed to  vulnerable HHs for Nutrition sensitive gardening and climate-smart agricultural practices, which will in turn increases the food consumption score at the household level, and also create an avenue for  income generation through selling of farm produce. 

Caritas Nigeria will carry out this intervention in Bama and Gwoza LGAs of Borno State, Michika, Mubi North, Mubi South LGAs in Adamawa State. This intervention will mitigate the challenges being faced by the refugee returnees and  IDPs in the host communities, and shall also mainstream ecofriendly initiatives. The innovation will be sustainable in this project through Empowering Local/Community structures and creating opportunities, adopting Climate-Sensitive Programming, and Green Response Adaptation which will produce more and quality food to improve HH nutrition thereby reducing malnutrition and averting negative coping strategy. The intervention is community based, with grassroots approach which promotes localization with three major accrued benefits including Social Re-integration, Economic component and Knowledge management. The total target population will be inclusive of 20% of people living with disability, with priority given to other gender considerations.
Improving Agricultural Livelihoods Assistance for Affected Populations in north-east Nigeria The objective of this project is to protect and strengthen the agricultural livelihoods of the vulnerable population in Gombi and Hong LGAs in Adamawa State, north-east Nigeria. 

IOM will support 100 households with agricultural livelihoods including wet and dry season farming, and livestock production across two (2 LGAs in Adamawa state. The beneficiaries will receive orientation on Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), receive agricultural climate-resilient kits, literacy support on Village Savings and Loan Association and Management, and support on Livestock production and agribusiness. 

IOM will employ multi-modality including in-kind/voucher and multipurpose cash to deliver these activities as may be feasible in the intended locations of intervention. Gender mainstreaming, diversity, and inclusion will be strictly streamlined into the project planning and implementation while prioritizing coordination among humanitarian and government partners.

The aim of this project is to align with the priority activities of the health sector according to the allocation paper by providing inpatient, outpatient, mobile outreaches services to the conflict affected population of Bursari and Geidam LGAs of Yobe state leading to basic life-saving humanitarian responses and reduction of mortality and morbidity. These will be an integrated primary health care and reproductive health services across health facilities in the aforementioned LGAs and communities preselected within the LGAs of intervention. RHHF will be using this 7-months project to do the following: building the capacity of the health workers to be engaged in other to render comprehensive health services, formulate mobile outreach health team that will comprises of trained CHEWs and Nurses to serve the preselected communities, dedicate trained health worker to the supporting facilities according to the SMoH standard so as to provide inpatient and outpatient services throughout the duration of the project, mid-wives and traditional birth attendant will be engaged and trained to support reproductive health services as well as safe and clean delivery across the selected locations within the LGAs and support for exclusive breastfeeding in a bid to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity.
The registered midwives will be conducting basic antenatal and postnatal care, detection, and recognition of danger signs of pregnancy and delivery while monitoring the TBAs and CHEWs. In the course of this project, Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) will be trained and engaged across all locations for Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) on health promotions, diseases outbreaks detection and prevention, referral of detected cases according to checklists and guidelines to the supporting and nearby health facilities for inpatient and outpatient services. There will be essential medicines and drugs as well as consumables to support both the health facilities and mobile outreach teams in carrying out integrated primary health care services and provision of life-saving health services within any of the IDP camps both formal and informal within the LGAs.

RHHF will support the State Primary Health Care Development Agency (SPHCDA) and the State Ministry of Health (SMoH) under the umbrella of the Health sector and provide emergency integrated PHC services which include: treatment of common diseases (malaria, RTI, typhoid, peptic ulcer, etc), provision of antenatal care and safe delivery services, cholera/AWD and referral services in IDP camp and host community clinics in accessible health facilities in Geidam and Bursari LGAs.
Strengthening access to the prevention and treatment services of acute malnutrition among children, pregnant and Lactating women to reduce morbidity and mortality in Adamawa State. Care Best Initiative (CBI) is proposing a 7 months nutrition intervention in Shelleng and Guyuk LGA of Adamawa State, prioritizing the hard-to-reach and rural populations of the LGAs. CBI overall objective is to build the capacity of the targeted community to sustainably prevent and treat acute malnutrition using the locally available resources including community structures, local foods, and harness local know knowledge. The project will focus on the treatment of Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) among children 6-59months using the Tom Brown approach Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) without medical complication using RUTF community-based management of infants with acute malnutrition (cMAMI), supporting timely referrals of acutely malnourished with medical complications to inpatient care/hospitals using locally available transport and prevention of overall acute malnutrition through the promotion of appropriate Maternal, Infant and Young Child Feeding (MIYCN) and care practices using various social behaviour change communication (SBCC) approaches. The project will integrate the early identification and referral of acute malnutrition across all the nutrition and health interventions and activities including building the community and household capacity to self-screening, identify and refer cases for assistance e.g. Mother Led MUAC.

All activities will be undertaken in line with the nutrition sector guidelines for the management of acute malnutrition in the context of COVID-19, including mainstreaming social distancing, risk communication, hygiene promotion, screening, and referral to testing and treatment centers. In addition, GBV risk mitigation, and child protection will be harnessed by ensuring indiscriminate service provision and continuous engagements of primary caregivers.

The proposed interventions will adopt a community-centered rights-based approach that will strengthen the existing collaborations, and foster accountability and ownership at all levels, right from the target beneficiaries, local leaders, State level leaders, INGOs, and UN agencies operating within the same sectors in the framework of the 2021 Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) and the NE Nigeria Nutrition Sector Strategy and Response Plan (2021-2022) and the overarching 2019-2021 Humanitarian Response Strategy (HRS) as was agreed with the Government of Nigeria. To this end, CBI will continue to strengthen community-based complaints and feedback mechanisms that will allow women, girls, men, and boys to safely report concerns of the emergency nutrition response in the NHF supported health facilities. These interventions will not be implemented standalone, but rather to complement, supplement, and foster synergies with other humanitarian efforts by CBI, INGOs, government, and UN agencies operating in the areas.
Common Shelter and Non-Food Items (NFI) Pipeline for flood response in Northeast Nigeria This project aims to respond to the needs of the displaced people that have been affected by heavy rains and devastating floods in Northeast Nigeria through the provision of essential life-saving emergency shelter and non-food items (NFI). Heavy rainfalls, accompanied by strong winds alongside overflooding of rivers and the opening of the dam gates in Cameroon led to the flooding of communities, causing serious damage to shelter and infrastructures within the internally displaced persons (IDP) camps and host communities. The floods destroyed farmlands, shelters, water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) infrastructures, sources of livelihood, and further displacement of populations.
The main activity will be to provide essential shelter and NFI humanitarian supplies to 1,640 households through timely and cost-effective procurement and response mechanism (common pipeline). This aims to save lives, reduce suffering and preserve human dignity for people affected by flood-induced displacement in Northeast Nigeria.

Priority areas will be flood-affected areas of Maiduguri Metropolitan Council (MMC), Jere and Dikwa Local Government Areas in Borno State, and Damaturu and Gujba Local Government Areas in Yobe State.
Provision of life-saving WASH assistance to community members in Potiskum LGA of Yobe state. The project (Provision of life-saving WASH assistance to community members) seeks to improve the living conditions of populations that are displaced by conflict, and the members of their host communities in Potiskum LGAs in Yobe State by providing conditions that are critical to maintaining health and preventing diseases. The selected locations in Danchuwa-Bula and Yerimaram, wards record substantial unmet hygiene needs owing to very minimal presence of humanitarian actors, as well as a strain on existing facilities following an influx of more people.
The June 2022 WASH gap analysis shows Potiskum LGA of Yobe state with pressing needs in both water and sanitation facilities. On water facilities, the report shows significantly insufficient access to water as there are very limited water facilities. leading to a gap in the daily water needs. 
Latrine/ sanitation facilities are in a worse situation for the LGA as the selected communities have a total of 5244 persons in need of latrine. This alarming figure is a recipe for disaster as the unmet need can be a trigger for continuous open defecation to be worsened by the rains and forecasted flood, which will give a platform for disease outbreak. 
The case is not different for the proportion of those without hygiene kits in the past 90 days, as all listed locations in the 2 wards of the LGA were without kits in the last 90 days. It is the premise upon which LABDI is seeking to provide integrated WASH services in 6 communities in Potiskum LGA of Yobe state.
LABDI’s strategic response to the WASH needs in these locations are threefold access to clean water by the construction of 1 solar powered 100m borehole, rehabilitation of 1 solar borehole and 1 handpumps, provision of sanitation facilities, and the promotion of tailored IEC materials for use as educational materials as it relates to hygiene campaigns amongst others. The project will span 10 months, with consideration to the 4 tenets of protection principles in a humanitarian response, during its life cycle. This submission contains elaborate activities, monitoring and evaluation plans, as well as the potential security, financial, program, and operational risks and their mitigation plans.
Life-Saving assistance through, Shelter  NFI Response to Improve Protection Environment and Humanitarian Assistance for IDPs, Returnees and Host communities in Targeted Locations in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe States in Northeast Nigeria The project targets IDPs, returnees and Host communities residing in LGAs and the surrounding host community locations in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states. In Borno state, the activities will be implemented in Dikwa, Damasak, and Monguno while in Adamawa, the project will focus on Yola North, Yola South. The population of individuals in these targeted locations with unmet needs according to Shelter NFI gap analysis for August 2022 indicates 224,430 for shelter and 181,250 for NFIs. It seeks to strengthen life-saving protection and emergency intervention through, provision of emergency shelter solution, emergency shelter repairs, transitional shelters and NFI assistance. The shelter/NFI activities will be implemented through partner and partly through direct implementation. UNHCR will take lead of the project implementation by way of providing technical expertise, monitoring, and support to the authorities in coordination with partners and other actors at camp or site levels in the designated project locations. UNHCR and partners have consulted and agreed on specific target project locations by engaging the sector and the local authorities to ensure potential duplication is eliminated.

The project will target -

1. Provision of 200 new emergency shelters to replace damaged shelters (improved Bama Type) and address new needs to improve the protection environment to both new and continuous displacement in Dikwa, Damasak, and Monguno in Borno State.

2. Repairs of 300 emergency shelter to the most vulnerable households in camps and camps like settings in Dikwa, Damasak and Monguno in Borno state.

3. Provision of 104 transitional shelter solutions to returnees in Yola (Yola North or Yola South) and Fufore in Adamawa state and in Borno (Dikwa LGA)


4. Procurement of 1,200 NHFI kits for distribution (700 improved NFIs kits for immediate distribution and  500 kits to prepositioned for new arrivals) to strengthen protection to crisis affected households in Dikwa, Damasak and Monguno in Borno state to support basic needs. 

UNHCR and partners will work collaboratively in the field to ensure a coordinated approach in delivering these services, and to ensure meaningful participation of the affected populations. The selection of beneficiaries will be based on needs assessment and vulnerability screening in the locations at the time of implementation. Identification and verification of beneficiaries will be guided by UNHCR’s Protection principles of do no harm and participatory approach
Karfafa Hidiman Yara da Iyalansu (Empowering our children for better tomorrow) This localized community driven 12 months project is designed to empower conflict affected individuals targeting 18,609 (men 2623, women 2958, Boys 6122 and Girls 6904) and 1301 (men 183, women 207, boys 428 and girls 483) people living with disability in the host community across three LGAs (Fune, Tamua and Yusufari) in Yobe State with community-based children protection intervention. GSF will ensure boys and girls are free from violence, exploitation, abuse, neglect, trafficking, harmful practices and are safe /thriving to their full potential, the project will focus on prevention and response with a system strengthening approach in consideration of the humanitarian and development nexus as well as the evolving situation in the state.

We will Carry out comprehensive, consistent and adequate case management processes and possible referrals for both specialized and non-specialized services for 200 (60% girls, 40% boys) children with protection risk, UASCs including 500 children associated or formally associated with armed group through a robust and experienced child protection social work force drawn from each proposed strategic location of intervention. Through effective coordination with Yobe state Ministry of Women Affairs and social Development (MWASD) social workers, link and formally place unaccompanied children in need of foster care for a maximum period of 60 days and immediately initiate family tracing and possible reunification endorsed formally by the Ministry social worker. 

GSF, will use local recreation materials that do not depict the culture, tradition and context of the community to provide PSS through CFS at each LGA. This will allow for acceptance of PSS activities and sustainability of the activities agreeing that these children can reproduce these materials locally and again after transition.  This localization will only be complete if the children and the community take charge of their own resuscitation through active ownership of the PSS activities and management of the CFS.

GSF will adopt community level sellable skills and volunteer artisans that will support children in need of economic reintegration. These children will be linked with these artisans with support from GSF to acquire some income generating skills that can provide financial freedom for these children to strive. Looking at the aspect of sensitivity attached with children formally associated with armed groups. GSF will maintain confidentiality on the status of children and measure them as equal children.
