Improving access to basic life-saving quality health care and essential GBV services to affected IDPs, returnees, people in extremely-hard-to reach areas in Bama, Monguno and Bursari LGAs. ltpgtltpgtAccording to the WHO, in 2022,
cholera outbreaks were caused by a lack of access to healthcare and occurred in
more than 30 states, with at least 15,000 cases being reported in the
north-east and more than 460 fatalities in Nigeria. Millions of people, mostly
from isolated rural agricultural settlements, have been forced by insecurity to
flee their homes in search of safety in urban communities, which limits women's
access to the few services available and raises the risk of women dying during
pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. It has changed the dynamics within
households, made poor living conditions worse, and made women and girls more
vulnerable to domestic violence, forced marriage, sexual exploitation, human
trafficking, abuse, and neglect.lt/pgt

ltpgtThe project will make sure that affected IDPs, returnees, residents of remote
locations, and host populations in Borno (Bama and Mongunu LGAs) and Yobe (Bursari
LGAs), receive basic life-saving quality health care and GBV protection
services, attendant will be hired and trained to support reproductive health
services, safe and clean deliveries at the chosen LGA locations, and support
for exclusive breastfeeding in Danari Lawanti (1) Turban Gida PHCC (b)
Guji Matalari Ward (2) Ajiri PHCC (c) Julluri Damnawa Ward (3) Julluri PHCC
(d) Kaliyari Ward (4) Kurnawa PHCC (f) Masaba Ward and (5) Masaba PHCC) of
Bursari LGA of Yobe state.lt/pgt

ltpgtPriority will be given to vital
life-saving GBV mitigation services, MHPSS, and GBV case management, which will
include providing GBV survivors with quality health care, establish OSC in Bama
to provide psychosocial support referral strengthening, legal support, security
and safety, economic empowerment, provision of dignity and clean, safe delivery
kits and other supplies, and strengthening local institutions and systems.
Additionally, it would look into GBV cases, maintain confidentiality, run
extensive awareness campaigns for GBV, PSEA, and SRH, and teach men and boys
how to work as allies in Monguno LGA and strengthens the WGSS in Bama LGA.lt/pgt

ltpgtRHHF will use the proposed
6-month project to accomplish the following by doing the following: creating
three mobile outreach health teams made up of trained CHEWs, JCHEWs, and CHVs
to serve the preselected communities, allocating trained health workers to the
supporting facilities in accordance with the SMoH standard, and improving the
capacity of the health workers (CHEWs, JCHEWs, TBAs, and CHVs) to be involved
in providing basic life-saving quality health care services to
conflict-affected individuals who are facing food insecurity and nutrition crisis
challenges.lt/pgt

ltpgtBasic antenatal and postpartum
care will be provided by licensed midwives, and community health volunteers
will receive training in risk communication and community engagement. To assist
five (5) healthcare facilities and three (3) mobile outreach teams in
delivering integrated primary health care services, necessary medications,
pharmaceuticals, and consumables will be made available. Additionally, the
project will help the SPHCDA by offering emergency integrated primary health
care services, such as the treatment of common illnesses, antenatal care, safe
delivery, referral services in IDP camps and host communities to medical
facilities, and services for waterborne illnesses.lt/pgt

ltpgtBuilding the capacity of the
health workers to be engaged in other to provide basic life-saving quality
health care services to conflict-affected individuals who are facing food
insecurity and nutrition crisis challenges, formulating three mobile outreach
health teams that will consist of trained CHEW, are just a few of the goals
that the proposed project is intended to achieve in accordance with the Reserve
Allocation Paper and the sector-specific priorities. Additionally, trained
traditional birth attendants will be employed to support reproductive health
services and secure deliveries.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtlt/pgtlt/pgt
