Provision of Integrated CCCM/Shelter/NFI Solutions to IDPs, Returnees and Host Communities in MMC, Jere and Rann  in Borno State. The major aim of the Shelter/CCCM/NFI Cluster is to improve living conditions of displaced persons in humanitarian crises. The sector facilitates assistance and strengthens protection and dignity of the displaced and works with beneficiaries to attain durable solutions.
Exacerbated vulnerabilities in 2020 as a result of forced displacement and movement, restricted movements and access, global health pandemic, congestion in the camp and harsh weather conditions especially in the rainy season have led to increasing needs for Shelter/CCCM/NFI Sector services both in the camps and host communities. Furthermore, the approaching rainy season projects flooded camp sites, shelters and NFI damaged or completely destroyed and worsened living conditions.
SHO aims to continue and expand its existing Shelter/CCCM/NFI sector services in Borno State, North-East which currently includes Camps in MMC and Jere LGA to mitigate impact of the rainy season and identified encumbrances, reduce vulnerability and address the accumulated and projected needs for shelter solutions, information management and NFI needs for IDPs, including persons with special needs in the category of IDPs, and most vulnerable members of host communities in MMC, Jere and Rann.
Specific activities will include: (a) Camp coordination/management – coordinate/lead improved provision of humanitarian assistance in IDP settlements and increase Camp’s existing capacity ; (b) Communication with affected communities, including complaint and feedback mechanisms, community sensitization/mobilization, ensuring participation of vulnerable groups (women/youth) and that the woman committees are maintained and functional; (c) Provision of NFIs both for preposition and distribution (d) Information Management, supporting the CCCM activities, SHO will establish five (5) information management centres across the host communities in MMC, Jere and Rann for information sharing and management. (e) Infrastructure maintenance/rehabilitation, Site planning, Land advocacy, mapping of existing suitable lands, relocation, flood mitigation for Rainy season response through provision of mitigation tools and formation of water channels (f) Construction of Bama type emergency Shelter: 100 Bama type shelters will be constructed and distributed to the targeted IDPs in the targeted locations (MMC and Jere). Additionally, contingency plans will be developed and put in place to ensure SHO can quickly adapt to and respond to changing humanitarian needs on the ground.
SHO will continue to address lifesaving needs of IDPs, returnees and most vulnerable members of host community in Borno State by expanding camp coverage, responding to new displacements/arrivals (through receiving, orientation of new arrival IDPs, registration, distribution of NFIs and referral for basic services), improving and upgrading basic services in sites, and finally, supporting the overall humanitarian response. Through this project SHO will address the sector’s overall objective of providing Shelter/CCCM services and NFIs distribution, improving the living conditions inside IDP camps and facilitating the immediate and targeted delivery of services to the displaced population. Furthermore, the project will address the needs of women, girls, men and boys throughout the planning, implementation and monitoring and evaluation of the activities. Through the DTM and regular site monitoring, needs and gaps will be reported and shared with partners and all stakeholders. Particular attention regarding needs will be paid to women and girls who also have to contend with GBV and protection concerns within camp settings.
