Supportn Recovery, Protectn & Livelihoods of the Marginalised, Displaced & Returnees in com BN St 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 lead to increased exposure.
• Fatalist attitudes closely linked to religious doctrines and practices.
• Generic messaging that does not address gender, age, and geographically specific contexts.
• Slow identification of misinformation, meaning that measures to combat it lose potency once it spreads within communities
Water treatment kits will be provided.
Strengthening Peacebuilding and Expanding Livelihood Opportunities for Rural Women in Benue State Currently. the peace and security environment across Nigeria is characterized by multifaceted violent conflicts and threats to human security. Some of the threats include increased terrorist and violent extremist insurgency activities, transnational organized crimes, disasters as a consequence of climate change and environmental degradation impacts, and other human-induced factors. Factors such as ethnic politics, resource scarcity, population explosion, and urbanization have been identified as causes and accelerators of violence in Nigeria. Violent conflicts between farmers and herders in Nigeria so escalated and spiraled in recent years threatening the country’s security, stability and peace, and was ranked “as potentially dangerous as the Boko Haram insurgency in the Northeast.
In spite of gross underreporting, in Benue State alone, between 2013 – 2016, official reports estimated that 1,878 persons were killed, 222 disappeared and 750 persons were grievously wounded. This number included 526 women, 200 (38%) of whom were pregnant, and another 231 (44%) nursing mothers. As of today (2022), only 2 (Gboko and Ushongo) out of the 23 LGAs have not been affected by the crisis. Benue state currently plays host to 27 IDP camps and about 2 million IDPs. (SEMA Report, 2022) The African Centre for Strategic Studies estimates that over 60,000 people have been killed in the violence across the Middle-Best region over the past 17 years (2001 to date), representing a yearly average of more than 3,500 people. 
In response to the prevalent humanitarian crisis outlined above, JDCF is proposing to undertake an intervention that will provide livelihood support to 200 victims of violent conflicts (vulnerable households) across 4 LGAs of Ado, Agatu, Oju, and Okpokwu.
The funds will be channeled through Caritas Nigeria. However, the implementation will be done by JDPC Otukpo. CAFOD will work with Caritas to monitor and accompany JDPC throughout the project
PEOPLE EU Volunteers capacity stengthening project - JDPC Maiduguri This project is part of the wider EU Aid Volunteers funded PEOPLE project, working with 10 organisations across Africa. The main purpose of the PEOPLE project is to enable local and national organisations such as JDPC Maiduguri 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.

The project objectives are to:
1. Strengthen humanitarian preparedness & response capacity of JDPC Maiduguri to design and deliver needs based humanitarian aid.
2. Strengthen volunteer management capacity of JDPC Maiduguri to facilitate integration & active participation of volunteers in humanitarian action.
3. Strengthen collective dialogue, knowledge sharing, learning and peer- to-peer support between JDPC Maiduguri and other partners on emergency response and volunteers.
Regional workshop on strengthening governance This project is linked to NGR373 - the WAGL Regional Governance programme, which is bringing together partners across WAGL to promote sharing and learning between partners on governance themes, with a focus on election monitoring. This project covers the cost of a workshop hosted by CCFN in Abuja, in July 2015, with participants from 6-8 partners and CAFOD staff working on governance across the region. The workshop will focus on sharing experiences on election monitoring (since elections are due across the region between 2015 and 2017), and helping partner colleagues to develop new skills and approaches on how to support sound election processes. The workshop will allow space for partners to also share information and expertise on other governance themes, such as budget monitoring and peace building.
Country Strategic planning workshop Nigeria Programme remodelling process resulted into having a scaled down presence in terms of a much reduced CAFOD physical presence with direct operations being carried out through or with CCFN. The CSP design in Nigeria will officially commence on 1st October 2018 and end on 28th February 2019. The consultation process would be long, elaborate and continuous as well as based on necessity. Initially, there would be continuous discussions and reflections with Caritas Nigeria to articulate the future partnership. The focus of CAFOD’s work will be in communities where poverty indices are relatively high. The priority groups of the poor and disadvantaged women and men will be targeted within the two programmes.
Agagbe PHC -  Dicoese of Makurdi 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 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.

Emergency Food Assistance and Livelihoods Support to Conflict Affected Households in Askira/Uba LGA The protracted nature of the crisis in the North-east has made over 3 million IDPs food insecure in just 3 states of the northeast (BAY). If nothing is done to this population hunger and starvation is eminent. According to food security Sector dashboard of North-eastern Nigeria, May 2021 about 4.3 million people (in IPC 3-5) are in need. Out of which 3.5 million people are in need of food assistance. We also conducted a rapid need assessment on the proposed location for this project to identify the gaps and needs of the people (IDPs).Hunger, food insecurity and under-nutrition and malnutrition are the serious consequences of the humanitarian crisis in the North-eastern part of Nigeria, especially in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe (BAY) States. Humanitarian food assistance contributes to combating these negative effects and represents thus a priority for us as one of the partners of food security sector (FSS) in Borno state. To contribute to combating hunger, food security and nutrition, we will be supporting households with cash to meet their immediate food needs and livelihood option to boost their resilience. Where people are forced to leave their homes as internally displaced persons (IDPs) and losing their means of livelihoods, humanitarian assistance ensures their survival, dignity and security.  The assistance will help in minimizing negative coping strategies (such as selling of productive goods, keeping children out of school to beg for arms, sex for money) and contributing to restoration of livelihoods. Due to this Covid-19 pandemic, humanitarian bodies have greatly adjusted their programming. In this project, all covid-19 prevention protocols and guidelines will be put in place to ensure that project participants and staff are not infected or affected in any way.
Flood emergency response in Igalamela and Ibaji 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.
Scaling up Assistance in Hard to Reach Areas (ECHO) Phase 2 Extension The needs in Nigeria continue to increase in all sectors, as conflicts and violence persists in the region. The limitations of movement in the Northern part pose great challenges for the delivery of humanitarian assistance and for people in need to access humanitarian aid. The action’s principal objective is to contribute to improving the living conditions and dignity of people affected by the Boko Haram crisis in Borno state, Northeast Nigeria. In this context, the implementing partners will be mindful of the Humanitarian-Development-Peace (HDP) Nexus and consider longer-term sustainability of their activities. The specific objective is to provide inclusive, safe, and dignified access to immediate food, WASH, and protection assistance and to strengthen community resilience in at 20 communities in hard-to-reach areas of Kaga and Magumeri LGAs in Borno state. The intervention will focus on providing direct access to integrated multi-sectoral, context-adapted assistance, which will cover the most urgent humanitarian needs of the most vulnerable people and communities. The partners will apply a conflict-sensitive and rights-based approach, taking into consideration their risk analysis while ensuring a flexible, secure, and coordinated response. The action will include humanitarian protection, food assistance, access to water for domestic use, improved sanitation and hygiene, and a scheme for gender-based violence prevention. The villages to be covered have been selected in coordination with local authorities and humanitarian clusters to ensure reaching into areas with high needs that have largely been deprived of humanitarian assistance.
Engendering CAFOD Partner Organisations for Sustainable Development Gender gaps in institutions and structures in Nigeria have remained huge developmental challenges for the country. In every sector of the economy women and girl-children suffer marginalization qualitatively and quantitatively in accessing basic resources and observance of their human rights.  There have been various efforts to address these anomalies but more need to be done. 

In line with addressing these gaps there is need for an organisation like the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development (CAFOD) who has a vision to see a world where the rights and dignity of every person (male and female) is respected and where all have access to basic needs of life among others to understand the gender gaps that exist within its organisation and partners organisations to enable it have a nuanced understanding of challenges faces  by men and women as well as the boy-child and girl-child in her  programmes  areas  and seek ways of addressing these challenges. 

In addressing these gender disparities, CWSI will
?Conduct an Audit of CAFOD Nigeria and its Programme,
?Carry out an analysis of Partners programmes & Projects in Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria, Justice, Development and Peace Commission National, Catholic Caritas, JDPC-Abuja, Kontangora Vicariate as well as Idah, Lokoja and Ilorin Dioceses.
?Identify gaps in programmes and conduct capacity building training to address the gaps identified.
?Conduct awareness and sensitization on gender issues, targeting gate keepers, Church groups, government, civil society organisations, traditional institutions, and the media. 
?Strengthen capacity of partner organisations to mainstream gender at organizational level and in project implementation. 
?Strengthen capacity of partner organisations to deliver on the gender outcomes agreed on.


The understanding of basic gender concepts and their application is necessary to fully implement gender-focused projects. This intervention will expand the scope of employing appropriate advocacy tools. 

Data made available will effect positive policy and attitudinal change and ensure appropriate gender mainstreaming in every aspect of development for CAFOD and its partners.


The project will be of benefit to CAFOD and her partners - Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria, Justice, Development and Peace Commission National, Catholic Caritas, JDPC-Abuja, Kontangora Vicariate as well as Idah, Lokoja and Ilorin Dioceses.
Yakoko PHC The project aims at providing a comprehensive set of primary health care services to improve the health status of poor people living in rural communities of Yakoko. 

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 Village Health Workers and Traditional Birth Attendants 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 issues and counselling. 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 grant and development of sustainability strategy is incorporated in the project.

The project will carry out community mobilisation activities to raise awareness on HIV/AIDS, and Tuberculosis. Technical competence of project staff will be enhanced through capacity building in increasing community behavioural change using stepping stones training, voluntary counselling and testing (VCT). Counselling, food supply and material support to PLWHA is a core activity of this project. Other support and care activities includes referral of clients for anti retroviral drugs and treatment of opportunistic infections and home visits by volunteers to those clients who are very ill
Towards the sustainability of the project, an annual 20% reduction in grant and development of sustainability strategy is incorporated in the project.
Emergency response in flood affected Kogi state of Nigeria From 24th  of  August 2018, torrential rains caused serious flooding in 12 states in Nigeria. 250-500 mm total rain fall was recorded in one month starting from 24th of August till 23rd September and this caused severe damage to public and private infrastructure and wiped out people's livelihoods. 13000 houses partly and fully damaged in extremely affected 4 target states of Anambra, Delta, Kogi and Niger. 122650 hectares of agricultural land has been affected and standing crops have been destroyed leaving affected population with looming food security crises in coming weeks and months. (Source ACAPS Update 26th September) 
In the 12 states, flooding has impacted 826,403 people and out of the total affected population 176,299 people are forced to be displaced in 10 out of 12 states affected. Among the 12 states affected by flooding in Nigeria, 4 states (Niger, Kogi, Anambra and Delta) have been declared as National Disaster by Federal Government of Nigeria: 
The consortium (Christian Aid, CARE International and CAFOD ) is well positioned to intervene in those 4 states and are ready to do so.  Based on the data collected from the field under the supervision of the National Emergency Management Agency, which coordinates humanitarian action, the total of affected people in these 4 states is nearly 489,087. This project aims to provide emergency assistance through unconditional cash to 3600 extremelly affected and vulnerable families of 3 severely affected (Anambra, Kogi and Delta) states. CAFOD will specifically intervene in four LGAs in Kogi state; Kogi, Lokoja, Bassa and Omala. We will reach 1204HH in the four LGAs by providing unconditional cash transfer to the target HHs. Other add on activities would include WASH sensitization, protection mainstreaming/CRM and community mobilization, advocacy visits to National Emergency Management Agency/State Emergency Management Agencies( NEMA/SEMA), the government agency responsible for emergency response in Nigeria
Gender mainstreaming in social accountability (GEMISA 2017, Phase1) The Situation we are trying to change is gross under-representation of women in governance and decision-making in Kogi state of Nigeria. Without the active participation of women and the incorporation of women’s perspective at all levels of decision making, the goals of equality, development and peace cannot be attained. Kogi women face huge challenges in entering into politics and occupying leadership positions as a result of gender restrictions. This project is aiming to empower Kogi women to further and better organize and develop their capacities, participate in political processes and claim their spaces to have more women in governance and decision making. The project will be projecting Kogi Women Empowerment Coalition (KWEC), the organization which has become the living testimony of the CAFOD-CCFN-CWSI gender intervention projects in Kogi state to perform the leveraging function of mobilising Kogi women towards achieving increased inclusion of women in politics and decision making in Kogi state. 
The second ambit of this project will carry out a data analysis the Catholic Diocese of Lokoja and Idah which will provide a ground to determine gender intervention towards equality, development and peace. 
The main thrust of the gender and good governance projects has been intervention to address exclusion of women from politics and decision making. This has remained a burning issue since women are still visibly absent in all levels of governance with only 8% representation in Kogi State governance where women are about 50% or more of the population of the state.. The result of the 2015 general election shows that not a single woman was elected into the legislature and the executive arm of government. Constant and exclusive over representation of men in political decision making is antithetical to democracy and good governance.
Women have the capacity to empower themselves to overcome the challenges posed by gender inequality constraints. In this project, KWEC is already positioned as a catalyst to the abysmal exclusion of women in Kogi State decision making. Against this background, the current project will consolidate on the gains of the previous gender projects in Kogi State by galvanization of KWEC to implementing actions such as advocacy, influencing and organizing women towards active participation in political processes.
