Strengthening the humanitarian response to conflict-affected populations in north-east Nigeria There are an estimated 7 million people in need of assistance in Nigeria(OCHA), including approximately 1.9 million displaced by the insurgency (IOM DTM round IX) which started in late 2014. 92% of the IDPs are hosted by under-served host communities, bringing already stretched services and resources under increased pressure. The armed conflict directly affected four states in the North East: Adamawa, Borno, Gombe, and Yobe States. The current humanitarian response covers all four states directly affected, with Borno State being the epi-centre of military operations and displacement of civilians. However, the responseis significantly hampered by very limited funding to meet such large needs, the challenges of response actors to scale up in the affected areas with qualified personnel with emergency profiles and the delays inthe recognition of the Boko Haram crisis as a humanitarian crisis beyondnational capacity. Two years into the crisis some progress has been achieved, but with only 69%of people being reached, the response needs to be scaled up, building on the access, partnerships and field presenceand activities put in place.
