Providing Quality Frontline Child Protection and Gender Based Violence (GBV) Response and Mitigation Services in Two (2) LGAs in Borno State. Nigeria’s northeast is still currently experiencing a significant humanitarian crisis, which has resulted from the ongoing counter-insurgency operations (Operation Last Hold) being conducted by the Nigerian armed forces and Multi-National Joint Taskforce (MNJTF) against Armed Opposition Groups (AOGs). As highlighted in the HCT endorsed ‘Response Plan for Extended Military Operations (May-August 2018),’ the trend of new arrivals was expected to increase as a result of insecurity including the military Operation ‘Last Hold’ that was slated to extend throughout the rainy season. 
During the month of August 2018 alone, a total of 22,931 movements were recorded, including 19,106 arrivals and 3,825 departures across the BAY states (Borno, Adamawa and Yobe). This on-going military operation portends an increase in the number of unaccompanied and separated children and several different rights violations including sexual violence and exploitation and other protection concerns affecting women, girls, boys and men that could also be linked to scarcity of resources at both arrival facilities or in most cases the resulting over-congested camps

Through this project CHAD will be addressing the specific protection rights and needs of the increasing number of boys and girls, and vulnerable caregivers in Bama, and Kala-Balge where high number of movements have been recorded with an average of 4500 new arrivals every week and in Kala-Balge where the presence of humanitarian child protection actors have declined in recent times due to the deteriorating security situation. Strategies for this project, which will support the Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) reception management strategy - aims to ensure humanitarian services are in place for new arrivals and services in over-congested camps -– in line with the northeast strategy for the Centrality of Protection through enhanced access to humanitarian assistance and strengthening the protective environment for extremely vulnerable boys, girls, men and women and other extremely vulnerable groups include: 
1. Provision of quality integrated survivor-centred GBV and child protection (CP) case management services to 600 Unaccompanied and Separated Children (UASC), and child  adolescent survivors of GBV and sexual violence including boys and girls identified particularly during vulnerability and humanitarian screening at arrival centres in the two project LGAs
2. Provision of structured psychosocial support services to 3000 vulnerable adolescent boys and girls (13-17yrs) through a peer-support initiative
3. Strengthen community engagement through CHAD's existing Community Protection Structures (CPCs) 
4. In order to cater to CHAD’s constantly evolving and challenging data and information management needs for case management and other relevant child protection services, CHAD will be developing an internal information management software to support better monitoring and programming, and accurate data transfer to the Child Protection Information Management System (CPIMS+) and the Gender Based Violence Information Management System. (Worthy to note here that this is not a duplication of the CPIMS+ but a value added component)
