Life-saving emergency CCCM, shelter and non-food item assistance to vulnerable and conflict affected IDPs in Borno State The proposed six-month project aims to provide an integrated multi-sectoral response to urgent needs faced by IDPs in Borno State through the provision of emergency CCCM, Shelter and NFI assistance in formal and informal camp settlements. In order to contribute to a comprehensive humanitarian response, ACTED proposes to build on its experience and current presence on the ground in priority areas, to provide CCCM assistance in Mafa and Dikwa IDP sites, through dedicated static CCCM Teams, in order to facilitate site improvements, strengthen partner coordination, and improve information sharing and management structures. To strengthen the rapid response capacity of the Shelter and NFI sector to address onsets of IDP influxes, ACTED proposes to establish a pipeline of Bama type emergency shelter and non-food item assistance kits, available to Shelter and NFI Sector Partners for distribution. 

In light of the volume of IDPs living in formal camps and informal settlements in Borno State, and the continuous increase in new arrivals, the CCCM set-up in the State is insufficient to meet the large-scale needs, with limited funding and too few active sector partners – ACTED is one of only two active INGO partners in the CCCM sector. As a result, living standards in camps do not meet SPHERE standards, and there is a lack of coordination between implementing partners at the camp level, resulting in unaddressed critical assistance gaps. To address this, the proposed project aims to support and strengthen existing CCCM activities in Dikwa and Mafa, set up by IOM, by establishing static CCCM Teams, in order to strengthen reception systems, camp coordination, information sharing, and camp management mechanisms to facilitate a comprehensive humanitarian response. CCCM Teams will work with existing camp management structures to strengthen coordination of intervention systems, and will promote sustainability by supporting camp committees to gain relevant skills and tools required for community-led intervention activities. The static CCCM Teams and associated assistance is expected to benefit a total of 27,626 beneficiaries in Dikwa, and 25,243 in Mafa.

Secondly, the project aims to establish a pipeline of Bama type emergency shelters and NFIs in the Monguno Logistics Sector Warehouse, in order to facilitate rapid response time for SNFI Sector partners operating within both Monguno and surrounding LGAs. Stockpiled NFIs and emergency shelters will be made available to sector partners for distribution in order to facilitate significant reduction in sector response time, and enabling immediate emergency response to new arrivals. Further, ACTED will construct 500 Bama Type emergency shelters, and distribute 500 NFI kits in Dikwa to provide critical relief to vulnerable IDP families. Thus, the proposed activity will act in conjunction with the wider CCCM and SNFI Sector. The shelter and NFI consignments procured under this project would enable direct emergency shelter and NFI assistance to 1,000 households, projected to benefit 5,000 beneficiaries.
