Gamashina PHC - Diocese of Kano The project is aimed at providing a comprehensive set of primary health care services to improve the health status of poor people living in rural Northern Nigeria. 

Services at the existing PHC will be expanded to include integrated health care services to an estimated population of 6,240 clients, and community-based health services to be provided by a network of VHWs and TBAs in 5 selected communities. 

The project will also carry out community mobilisation activities to raise awareness on HIV/AIDS, primary health care, hygiene and water issues.

Technical competence of health staff will be enhanced through capacity building in such areas as health and management (health information, financial and organizational), counselling and in the organization of community-based health care services and the provision of technical assistance for effective implementation of the project.

Towards the sustainability of the project and in implementing an annual 20% reduction in grant, the development of sustainability strategy is incorporated in the project.
Food assistance to new arrivals in Magumeri LGA, Borno State The source of livelihoods of the affected population who has just been displaced has been  destroyed due the attacks from the insurgents, hence the need to ameliorate their suffering.
The fluid nature of the crisis produces displacement figures that vary significantly between Local Government Areas (LGAs) where we  are currently providing food assistance. Between October 2018 and July 2019, Magumeri increased by 5% (DTM assessments, 2019).
The project will contribute in reducing the impact of malnutrition and starvation through emergency food assistance. It is targeted specifically to new arrivals in Magumeri, where the partner has been implementing emergency response. The new arrivals have not been targeted so far and are very vulnerable.  Beneficiary households (300HHs), 1,500 individuals.
Male adults (112)
Female adults (424)
Children (964)
The beneficiaries will be targeted through House to house assessment using a predefined selection criteria to profile new beneficiaries.
These criteria include.
- New arrivals
- Households with aged persons (60years and above)
- Pregnant/lactating mothers
- Female headed households
- Households with persons with special ability
- Households with children (5years and below)
Project to curtail the spread and impact of Covid 19 in communities of Adamawa State The COVID-19 pandemic is the defining global health crisis of our time. (it could be said to be the greatest challenge we have faced since World War Two). Since its emergence in China in December 2019, the virus has spread to 213 countries (including Nigeria) with the number of confirmed cases rising daily in Africa, the Americas, and Europe. Countries are racing to slow the spread of the virus by testing and treating patients, carrying out contact tracing, limiting travel, quarantining citizens, and cancelling large gatherings such as sporting events, concerts, and schools.
The wide increasing spread of Coronavirus across the globe has dominated global attention. In Nigeria the Government at all levels is committed to the fight against its increasing spread. The presidential task force on containment of COVID-19 has from time to time brief Nigerians on the current trends of activities and efforts put in by the Government, organization and individuals to contain the spread of the Coronavirus. The spread of the virus has tremendously increased in the last two months (from Feb. to date 2020). The Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC) has reported 12,801 confirmed cases as at 11:55pm, 8th of June 2020. Nigerian government is faced with hard choices about how to manage the virus. State Governors in Nigeria have already imposed border restrictions. Many are placing partial or blanket bans on public gatherings or insisting that citizen’s shelter at home. These are necessary but also costly measures.
In Adamawa State, the governor imposed series of lockdown to contain the spread of the virus. Despite, the effort put by the government and other institutions such as the NCDC, there is a widespread notion by general public mostly in remote communities that Coronavirus is a lie and the perception that it is a foreign and rich persons’ sickness. Preventive measures such as social distancing, regular washing of hands or the use of hand sanitizers and other guidelines stipulated by the relevant authorities such as the NCDC are not properly adhered to. This project seeks to address “Knowledge and attitude on Coronavirus among IDPs and Host communities assessed” in 3 LGAs of Adamawa State (Yola North, Demsa and Girei). In line with SDG Goal 3, good health and well-being, Goal 4, Quality Education, Goal 5, Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls AND Goal 16, Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels.
Strengthening Indigenous Conflict Resolution Mechanism amongst tribes in Jos North, Plateau State This project seeks to provide an approach to the recurrent crises in Jos and other parts of Plateau state using indigenous conflict resolution mechanisms, known as the restorative justice system, a process which seeks to heal, restore relationships, reconcile and integrate back into the community. This is because life in African cultures is not individualistic but communal as crimes, even when committed against an individual are seen as crimes against the entire community.  It is worthy to note that Indigenous conflict resolution practices reflect principles of reconciliation based on long-standing relationships and values, placing highest importance on values for truth, justice, peace, love, harmony, order, balance, reciprocity and sustainability.

This project will therefore impact on men, women and the youths by revisiting some of these indigenous practices and providing an opportunity of applying them to some of the root causes of crises in the State. It will x-ray the various roles these groups have played and can still play in traditional methods of conflict resolution.

This particular project was chosen because of the persistent crises in plateau State which seems to defy current western methods of conflict resolution which often imposes itself on the people and supplants itself on the people’s indigenous mechanisms, values and experiences which are often misunderstood and misinterpreted. 

Indigenous conflict resolution mechanisms have proven to be effective and successful in handling some major crises across Africa. These include the Gacaca in Rwanda, Michu and Luba Basa in Ethiopia, Mato Oput in Northern Uganda, the Akobo Peace
Conference in Sudan, and one of the world’s most successful traditional peace conferences following Somaliland’s declaration of independence from Somalia in 1991. Finally,  the crises of Plateau State have many facets, some of which can lend themselves to traditional reconciliation.

Relief Support to Household Affected by Insurgency in Askira/Uba LGA of Borno State The project seeks to improve food security and to reduce negative coping strategies in 2 camps, Garin Galang Camp and Wandeo camp in Askira Uba LGA, Borno State. The project will work with 3660 (2560 women, 1100 men) vulnerable IDP and Host Community members including at least 7% (256) people living with disabilities. Outcome 1: 610 Households will be given unconditional cash grants for a value of N 4,500 per capita/month. Each tranche has been calculated as the 70% of the Minimum Expenditure Basket (MEB) for food emergency needs per capita/per month. Each household will be given a pre-paid card that will work as an e-Wallet. Tranches for each household will be calculated depending on the number of people in the household, this is N4,500 * N household members = transfer value. This value will be distributed in the third month and fifth month of the project. In total each beneficiary will receive N 9,000. The Food Consumption Score (FCS) will be used to capture this improvements.  
 Outcome 2, the project will also train 22 farmer groups on Good Agronomic Practices (GAP) in order to improve their farming activities. To achieve this, the project will distribute agricultural inputs and tools for 440 farmers (representing 440 hh).
Integrated emergency and early recovery assistance for returnees and IDPs Boko Haram related violence and military operations have left widespread devastation in the North-East of Nigeria forcing more than 2.2 million civilians to flee their homes. The persons that are most at risk are unaccompanied children, pregnant and lactating mothers, the elderly, and the IDPs. These persons are littered in clusters in the host communities. With the influx of these persons in the host communities without a concomitant improvement of Water facilities, water, sanitation and hygiene thus became the grossly deteriorated. This project aims to improve the water, hygiene and sanitation access to the identified most vulnerable women, children, and men. Through the intervention of Caritas Czech Republic and partner organizations, water facilities will be provided to the IDPs and returnees to meet the SPHERE humanitarian standards. Furthermore, the promotion of hygiene and sanitation will minimise the health hazards arising from the possible outbreak of diseases such as cholera and diarrhoea
PEOPLE EU Volunteers capacity stengthening project - Catholic Caritas Foundation of Nigeria This project is part of the wider EU Aid Volunteers funded PEOPLE project, working with 10 organisations across Africa over 2 years. The main purpose of the PEOPLE project is to enable local and national organisations such as Catholic Caritas Foundation of Nigeria to improve the quality and effectiveness of their humanitarian preparedness and response capacity, and their volunteer management systems. This will be done through a process of capacity self-assessment and capacity strengthening action planning, Training of Trainers and cascading of learning on key emergency response and volunteer topics, and peer learning between the 10 organisations involved in the programme. CAFOD staff will provide support throughout this process.

Background
The project will respond to WASH, Cash, Health, Protection and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and NFIs. The response will reach beneficiaries experiencing health emergencies including Covid 19 and Yellow fever which are both WASH related emergencies to be addressed through an integrated risk communication and community engagements, local and mainstream approaches to WASH to maximize community participation and sustainability. Households and health facilities will be supported with Covid 19 WASH kits to strengthen infection prevention control (IPC) for Covid 19 to reduce community and facility transmission. WASH activities will mainstream yellow fever specifically with the provision of mosquito nets for households and facilities and also risk communication and community engagement activities including capacity building activities and Information Education and Communication (IEC) dissemination activities through local town criers for local reach and radio jingles for posters for wider reach. The project will train community volunteers who will track false information and myths at community levels and will urgently to address this false information using various channels such as door to door sensitisations, IEC materials and mass media engagements. 
Yet, there is high number of people dying from illness with symptoms like COVID.  False and inaccurate information among young people is quickly being driven by
• Low level of trust in authorities, particularly among IDPs due to lack of access to health services and information.
• Traditional and beliefs and practices, such as traditional healing solutions, which can increase.
Rice Mill for Rural Women Economic Empowerment The women of Ibaji who are members of Kogi State Coalition Empowerment KWEC are bequeathed with a lot of shortcomings that have inhibited their progress in rice farming and production, hence are heavily struggling with sustaining an economically viable business venture. 
Accessibility to milling hubs is very difficult and expensive. Market for their product is poor and accessibility to it is quite tasking.
Good storage facility for rice paddy and milled rice is not at their disposal hence high level of loss during rainy season.
Processing of the paddy to a marketable finished product is not effective.
About 30%/40% loss is incurred during parboiling of the paddy thus reducing the quantity of rice produced and the income that would have been generated.
10% to 20% of paddy is lost in transit to the distant location of local milling hubs, as they are conveyed in canoes along the Niger river. Following a result chain of rice movement from the farm to the mill, it has been observed that women face the risk of losing their product which arises as a result of movement through water ways to the milling center. At the mill, the poor processing method used ranging from per-boiling, drying and milling does not give local farmers the opportunity for competitive products in the open market leading to about 15% lose per farmer per production. Inappropriate weight measuring or scaling system is another hindrance to market prize.
By setting up a properly equipped and functional mill with an effective management within a 5meter radius of the community, the struggles of these women will be reduced to the barest minimum. 
The mill will be equipped with: False bottom par-boiler, Dryer, Paddy cleaner, Hulling machine, Polisher, De-stoner, Digital scale and Bag sealers. An effective management will be recruited to administer and operate the mill.

Flood Response in Ibaji and Igalamela LGAs of Kogi State The project is implemented in a consortium with ActionAid, CARE and CAFOD. CAFOD is focusing in Kogi state while the other two agencies will implement in other affected states. High rainfall, climate oscillation, poor dam management, poor preparedness culture as well as weak disaster management architecture among others are responsible for predictable flood disaster in Nigeria.  The torrential rainfall between August and September 2019 caused displacement, death, destruction and disruption of livelihoods in Borno, Delta, Kogi, Adamawa, Kebbi, Taraba, Benue among other States. In the last few days, the flooding has had disastrous affects in  some of these states. Four States; Borno, Kogi, Delta and Adamawa have been worst hit with the potential for more disaster as the rains continue to poor and rivers overflow their banks.
In response to the flood disaster in the state, ActionAid Nigeria responded by first sending out a team of four to carry out a rapid assessment on the extent of damages caused by the flood. The floods bring a rising threat of waterborne diseases, such as cholera and acute watery diarrhoea, which are easily spread through contaminated floodwater. 
In Kogi, Delta and Kebbi states, many communities are currently displaced and living in makeshift camps or in host communities. These families are in distress and require emergency lifesaving assistance.

Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria (CSN) This grant to the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria forms part of the Programme “Improving Primary Health Care for Rural Poor Communities in Northern Nigeria”, and focuses on the fourth objective of the Programme: “To build the capacity of the Catholic Church in health policy and advocacy issues to influence the development and monitoring of pro-poor health policies.”

There is a widely held recognition in Nigeria that in order to influence the development of pro-poor health policies that ensure equal access to health services, it is first necessary to strengthen the advocacy and lobbying skills of non-state actors (NSAs).  As part of the project, a Health Policy & Advocacy Adviser has been recruited to help establish a Health Advocacy Unit within CSN to advocate for pro-poor health policies in Nigeria and ensure greater coordination and networking among sector actors.  The Health Policy & Advocacy Adviser will provide training to key personnel/advocacy champions within the Catholic Secretariat and Catholic health services and, in consultation with other actors, to develop a CSN advocacy strategy.  The Health Advocacy Unit will also identify advocacy champions from 3 focal pilot states within the geographical area covered by the Programme.  The ‘champions’ will be representative of all layers including government, civil society organisations and communities.
Accessible and Equitable Justice for Women and Youth (AEJ-Way) Project Gender injustice and youth negligence are pervasive and widespread in Africa and very little has been done to avert the trend. For most of the time the issue in the fore has been gender equity with youth empowerment and justice merely receiving lip service. Bringing justice for women will be encompassing if it is chalked up with equity and opportunity for the young men and women in whose hands lie the future. The most veritable tool to combat the trend is advocacy and practical effort in putting the energies into productive ventures. Dealing with the issues of women and youth injustice is a foolproof approach to ensuring that the human ecology is peaceful and intergenerational equity is attained.
The AEJ-Way project therefore aims to bring the plight of women and youth to the fore and place them in a position where they can make positive impacts to change the current turbulent social and environmental narrative in Plateau State.
Vandeikya PHC (Sr. Catherine Peco) The project is aim at providing a comprehensive set of primary health care services to improve the health status of poor people living in rural communities of Vandeikya. Existing PHC services will be expanded to include integrated health care services to an estimated population of 6,240 clients and community-based health services to be provided by a network of VHWs and TBAs in 5 selected communities. 
The project will also carry out community mobilisation activities to raise awareness on HIV/AIDS, malaria, TB, primary health care, hygiene and water issues. Technical competence of health staff will be enhanced through capacity building in such areas as health related issues and management (health information, financial and organizational), counselling and in the organization of community-based health care services will be strengthened through training and the provision of technical assistance for effective implementation of the project. Towards the sustainability of the project, an annual 20% reduction in CAFOD grant and development of sustainability strategy is incorporated in the project.
