Emergency Telecommunications Sector Coordination and Services to enable scale-up of life saving humanitarian assistance to the most vulnerable populations. WFP will provide emergency telecommunications and data communication services to the humanitarian community in the targeted areas in order to allow relief workers to operate and provide immediate lifesaving assistance to populations affected by the crisis. The Emergency Telecommunications Sector (ETS) will provide security telecommunications and internet access at the humanitarian hubs based on current planning by the Humanitarian Hubs Task Force in priority geographic locations such as Dambosa and Damasak to enable more humanitarians to have continuous presence in order to deliver a more effective humanitarian response.
Establishment  Management of Humanitarian Hubs and Common Services in North Eastern Nigeria Through this twelve-month project, IOM will contribute to ensuring an adequate humanitarian response to the needs of IDPs and host communities in North Eastern Nigeria. Through the establishment of Humanitarian Hubs (HH), IOM’s proposed action will provide humanitarian partners working in Maiduguri with a stronger logistical base and greater access in the North East.   This will expand the reach of activities to provide affected populations with live-saving services, including the activities IOM is currently carrying out.
Strengthening the provision of WASH assistance and setting up a multi sectorial Rapid Response Mechanism to respond to lifesaving needs in highly vulnerable areas in Borno State (Bama, Dikwa and Monguno LGAs for WASH and Bama, Gwoza, Ngala, Kala-Balge and Mobbar for RRM) Forced displacements, acute food shortages, and lack of toilet facilities force affected communities to defecate openly. This violates dignity of the IDPs living in formal/informal camps and in host communities and increases the threat of transmission of diseases in case of outbreaks. Coupled with a lack of clean water, malnutrition rates among children under five worsen. In the 2017 Nigeria HRP, the WASH sector is seeking USD 49.7m targeting a population of 1,978,000 it was 17.6% funded at June 2017. UNICEF targets 1,028,000 people (52% of sector targets) with hygiene and safe water activities 217,000 people with improved sanitation facilities. WASH outcomes enforce outcomes for nutrition, education, health and protection. 

The project has two components: 

(a) Enhancing the provision of basic WASH services to (i) sustain WASH services meeting the Nigerian Humanitarian standards and expand improvements towards reaching the SPHERE standards (ii) Sustain hygiene promotion for personal hygiene and prevention of disease outbreaks such as cholera, diarrhoea and hepatitis. Priority is given to IDP camps and returnee areas, focusing on Bama, Dikwa and Monguno LGAs.  This component will be implemented through existing partnerships with RUWASSA and expanded Project Cooperation Agreements (PCA) with INGOs.  RUWASSA and its affiliated contractors will implement the latrine construction and water sources development/upgrading.  Implementation will be managed in lots per location and IDP camps. The management of implementation of the lots will be partly through PCA with INGOs (intended: DRC in Banki and Bama OXFAM in Dikwa and ACF in Monguno) and partly directly by UNICEF Project Officers. Other resources will be used to support the project management structures.    
   
(b) Contributing to the set-up of a multi-sectorial Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM) to respond to urgent needs , through a timely delivery of a minimum package of high impact interventions covering WASH, Nutrition, NFI, Food security and Health as well as Protection mainstreaming. The RRM will respond in a timely, coordinated manner to the needs of populations made vulnerable by conflict, disease and/or natural disaster, in hard to reach areas where there is no or not enough humanitarian capacity. Through its partners on the ground RRM will set up an efficient early warning system thus ensuring the timely reception of alerts that will enable the activation of the Mechanism. An RRM structure is in place in Maiduguri composed of several NGOs, WFP, UNICEF, IOM, and WHO, and coordinated by OCHA. This project will enhance the capacity of the RRM, in the following priority LGAs : Bama, Gwoza, Ngala, Kala-Balge and Mobbar.
Scaling up quality and appropriate GBV Response and Prevention services to populations who might not otherwise have access to those services This project seeks to scale up quality and appropriate GBV protection, response and prevention services to populations who might not otherwise have access to these services. UNFPA, as the lead of the GBV sub sector and technically the provider of last resort, has conducted an analysis of the overall GBV response environment. As a result, these activities are tailored to take measures to address and cover the gaps both associated with the actual response, field coordination as well as enhancing capacity of partners to scale up and improve the quality of response in line with the principles of Do NO HARM. They are designed taking into consideration the developments and complexities within the context, for instance the anticipated gains made by the military that will result into liberation of persons being held captive or still under the control of non-state actors as well as the ongoing refugee returns. 

The key areas of focus for the project will be on establishing GBV mobile response capacity, support to reception, screening and reintegration where the unique needs of women, girls and children are identified and addressed capacity building for GBV partners and GBV incident management, documentation and reporting. The project will be guided by the following objectives 

1.	Enhance capacity of frontline GBV response workers to provide quality and targeted response to persons at risk of violence
2.	Strengthen community relevant approaches that respond to immediate and intermediary needs for returnee women and girls (returning from captivity or refugee returnees) 
3.	Restore dignity of women and girls through establishing safety measures targeting women and girls by providing GBV risk mitigation services
4.	Improve mechanisms for gender based violence incident management, reporting and documentation

Project location: While the capacity building components on the project will focus on improving the quality of GBV programming and response for the three states, the actual response components will target 3 locations in Borno – Kala Balge, Mobbar and Dikwa, 1 location in Yobe – Gujba and 1 in Adamawa – Michika.
Lifesaving humanitarian assistance through Rapid WASH emergency response in Borno State, Nigeria This project focuses on addressing the emergency WASH needs of 40,000 IDPs, host communities and returnees in Borno State, Nigeria as part of Oxfam's Rapid Response Team (RRT). Oxfam's RRT strategy aims to respond to live-saving WASH, EFSVL and Protection needs in newly accessible areas, areas with sudden population displacements or areas with WASH related disease outbreaks. Furthermore Oxfam's RRT aims to support other NGOs in  areas where capacity has been overwhelmed or where requests are made for additional support. Oxfam's Rapid Response Team is multi-sectoral -comprising of WASH, EFSVL and Protection Components - and all new assessments will be done by a multi-sectorial team focusing on these three sectors. Whilst this project focuses on WASH response, intervention capacity in food security, livelihoods and protection will be ensured through other funding. Gender is mainstreamed all throughout the project cycle. 
Locations are not specified for this grant as the Rapid Response Team will respond in areas that meet a specific set of triggers for a response defined in Oxfam's SOPs for its RRT, which are: 1) sudden population displacement over a certain threshold 2) Disease Outbreak 3) Malnutrition rates (GAM) above 10% 4) (OXFAM RRT and Emergency Evaluation 2017) requests to respond by both the WASH sector and the OCHA Rapid Response Mechanism. The project is not seen to duplicate the Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM) , but rather to complement it, and Oxfam actively coordinates its RRT responses within the RRM mechanism currently. Oxfam's RRT will retain capacity to respond to sudden onset crises in Borno State for a maximum of 3 months, giving additional time to stabilise access to water, sanitation and hygiene information post-RRM response and pre-other humanitarian actors entering or scaling up in each location. Thus the RRT is envisioned to be a bridging mechanism between the short term response of the RRM and the longer term response of humantarian actors with longer term funding. 
OXFAM has also committed to contribute toward preventing and respond to violence against women and girls (VAWG) and gender-based violence (GBV) in emergencies through these type of projects. This includes reducing risks across humanitarian programmes, increasing access to services for survivors, tackling the root causes of violence, and promoting women’s rights.

Enhancing human rights integration into the humanitarian response in Northeast Nigeria The project aims to strengthen existing OHCHR assistance to increase the protection of at risk populations through enhanced protection responses, monitoring, sustained advocacy and risk mitigation. The protection of the rights of individuals is at the core of humanitarian response. The humanitarian community faces the challenge of  protecting victims of Boko Haram insurgency as well as those affected by the counter-insurgency operations by national security agencies. There is therefore an urgent need to enhance OHCHR engagement and strengthen human rights capacity support to the humanitarian response more specifically on prevention and response to violations of IHL/IHRL. The envisaged support will enhance coordinated monitoring and reporting, information management and analysis on violations and abuses, advisory support to the humanitarian leadership as well as timely human rights advocacy and response. Through this intervention, the capacity of key humanitarian actors and structures will be enhanced as well as their systematic engagement with UN human rights mechanisms. The proposed strengthening of OHCHR support to the humanitarian response aims at responding to the requests of the Nigerian Government in among others, its statement at the 31st session of the Human Rights Council as well as of the UN Country Team and humanitarian agencies. 
In sum, the project project covers costs for staff and key strategic activities including human rights advice, advocacy and capacity building. It aims at strengthening existing OHCHR engagement in Nigeria with regards to the insurgency in the Northeast, support human rights advocacy and capacity building: drafting reports, developing advocacy and communication tools, providing human rights advice, supporting community outreach and engagement at the strategic level as well as training and capacity building to enhance accountability and community resilience.
Provision of emergency CCCM support to IDPs displaced by conflict in Borno State The proposed 6 months project aims at provision of emergency CCCM assistance to conflict affected IDPs living in formal camps and informal settlements in Borno State through two dedicated static CCCM teams. Almost half of Borno’s IDP population live in camps or camp like settings. Despite this, the resources for CCCM are currently inadequate, leading to living standards in camps which are below SPHERE standards, lack of coordination on camp level and lack of an existing referral system for beneficiaries to accommodate especially the most vulnerable protection cases. The lack of existing reception site causes a lack of information about IDP movements and camp populations as well as inadequate cover of the needs in the camps. 
The proposed project is part of ACTED’s wider programming in the target area. ACTED currently implements a shelter and NFI project in Mafa and existing stocks will be distributed to new arrivals in the reception center proposed under this grant request. It is further linked to a second grant request submitted under this NHF allocation which aims at prepositioning shelter and NFI at the Custom House area. 
The proposed project will strengthen camp coordination mechanisms and site facilitation in Borno state through the construction and operationalization of reception sites which will provide a clear referral pathway for beneficiaries in order to ensure that sensitive cases are being referred to the correct partner in a swift and respectable manner, it will improve the camp infrastructure through urgently needed site upgrades and the establishment of camp committees and lastly it will build capacity of communities and local authorities on CCCM. ACTED will deploy two dedicated camp management teams to the two proposed locations. ACTED is proposing to implement this project in Mafa LGA and Custom House area in Jere LGA targeting together 35,000 beneficiaries. The locations have been identified in close consultation with other CCCM actors namely IOM and Intersos and the shelter/NFI/DMS sector and complement ACTED’s ongoing operations.
Provision of Shelter Kits to Returnees in Michika and Madagali LGAs Adamawa State. This project is targeted to most shelter vulnerable returnees affected by the activities of insurgency for early recovery and improved living condition this will be carried out in the North Eastern  LGAs  of Michika and Madagali in Adamawa State
This will involve providing returnees with Shelter Kits and Conditional cash for labour in two tranches 40% of cash before use of kits and 60% after monitoring and evaluation of the implementation by the beneficiaries.
Strengthening and scaling-up CHAD's Child Protection Programming for Children,  Adolescents and caregivers Affected by the crisis in northeast Nigeria - This  is a case management, psycho social  (PSS), foster care and community based child  protection response program planned  to be implemented in severely deprived regions of Pulka, Banki, Rann in Borno State. This project will focus on improving on the quality of child protection programming for unaccompanied and separated children and adolescent affected by the conflict in Borno State  via a strong capacity building initiative designed to ensure proper supervision of case workers and reduction of caseloads per case worker. Intensive training sessions for case workers on quality case management procedures for CHAD case workers and other child protection actors in Borno State will be organized. 60 Community based Teachers from 3 LGAs in Borno State will also be trained on child protection in emergencies to enable them acquire the necessary skills to be able to participate in child protection activities especially in timely identification and referral of vulnerable and at-risk-children in their schools to CFS activities and peer to peer education program..

- 150 vulnerable alternative caregivers from 3 locations Pulka, Rann and Banki will be supported economically (cash) to support the care of UASC placed under their care and ensure they are being empowered to a certain degree to decide how best to meet their immediate needs by setting up of a small scale business of their choice.
- An additional 600 caregivers will be trained on positive parenting to strengthen child protection efforts in these communities while 60 out of this 600 will be engaged to establish a Caregivers Child Protection Association (CCPA)  As part of our strategy to strengthen community protection mechanisms  in Pulka, Rann and Banki.  the newly established CCPA will be supported monthly to carryout awareness and sensitization on Child protection to members of their communities.

- 3 adolescent centers will be established in 3 locations Pulka, Rann and Banki where a total of 3000 adolescents will be targeted for a peer-to-peer life skill education program. 1000 adolescent girls and boys per location will be reached with life skill education  through their fellow adolescents. In this regard 120 adolescents aged 15-17 (40 per location) will be trained on
A. Life skill education 
B. how to develop messages for awareness initiatives and 
C. how to manage group discussions with their peers around essential  life skill development in their communities.

They will be trained on the use of simple reporting tools to capture data on the number on sessions held with peers, number of information education communication messages (IEC) in handbill and pamphlets distributed. Using key indicators  they also will report on qualitative data around key achievements.
Improved access to mental health services through outreaches to PHC facilities and support to referral system This project is designed to address unmet mental health needs of the affected population through outreach services to PHC facilities and support to the referral system. At the end of the project 8400 patients will receive outpatient mental health serves and another 840 will be treated as an inpatient. 70 health workers from PHCs will be trained and coached over the project period bringing specialized mental health services closer to the community. In addition, mental health strategic framework will be developed based on assessments to be conducted and involvement of partners.
Shelter and NFI assistance to conflict affected population in North East Nigeria IOM aims to continue the provision of direct assistance to 9,000 IDPs and returnees affected the heavy rains and flooding in North East Nigeria through: a) the distribution of Emergency Shelters (ES) kits, b) the distribution of Reinforcement Kits and c) the distribution of community drainage and site maintenance kits and d) the distribution of NFI kits. The selection of the areas of intervention has been done based on CCCM / ESampNFI sector prioritization and IOM’s presence in the ground.
Expanding access to sexual and reproductive health services among populations in newly accessible LGAs of Borno State, North Eastern Nigeria- The project is intended to build on previous efforts by UNFPA, the State Ministry of Health and other partners in improving access to SRH services in newly accessible areas. The focus will be on key activities as outlined in the Interagency Minimum Initial Service Package (MISP) for SRH in humanitarian settings. However special efforts will be undertaken to address the early recovery and development needs of the health system which will enhance its responsiveness to the needs of the communities as they transition to full recovery. 
A mix of quick gain interventions based on outreach services, mobile clinics, specialized centers for adolescents and young people and medium to long term investments in equipment, capacity building will be used in this project. Access to emergency obstetric services will be strengthened through dissemination of information on available services in all activities to be undertaken. Provision of RH kits for the health facilities will ensure Basic Emergency Obstetric care services are available at the primary care centres whilst tertiary centres will be targeted with specialized equipment for surgery. The project is in consonance with Government recovery programmes for North Eastern Nigeria such as the Buhari Plan, PCIN and UNFPA works very closely with the SMOH to ensure no duplication of services.
The project will focus on the LGAs of Mobbar, Kala Balge and Bamma where needs for returnees IDPs, refugees and host populations continue to be high. IDP camp based facilities in these locations will be the prioritized as per recommendations of the SRH sub working group. UNFPA will work closely with partners on the ground in these locations and take advantage of the newly established humanitarian hubs and UNHAS services to monitor implementation.
Emergency intervention in favor of displaced population, new arrivals and returnees in Borno State, in response to basic housing and reception needs for existing population and temporary housing solutions for new arrivals. The proposal aims at ameliorate the living condition of IDPs and returnees in Monguno, Borno State, ensuring adequate temporary shelter  Furthermore, the creation of a Reception Centre will improve the management of new arrivals in the area thorough the provision of adequate reception condition.
Increase Humanitarian Response in newly accessible areas in Borno State This project contributes to the achievement of strategic priority of the 1st NHF allocation through the implementation of flood mitigation measures, shelter rehabilitation and, distribution of NFI kits to reach 18,550 affected individuals in Damask and Dikwa LGAs.
Community based improvised mines and explosive remnants of war    risk education in Borno and Yobe States for conflict affected populations. The conflict with Boko Haram has left the North East region of Nigeria significantly contaminated with a range of explosive items, including improvised and conventional landmines, improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and explosive remnants of war (ERW). Incidents involving landmines and IEDs have been reported in Borno, Yobe, and Adamawa States, with Borno State the most heavily affected. However, due to ongoing conflict, the lack of any national mine action authorities and limited mine action NGO presence on the ground, verified information is scant and the exact type and extent of contamination is not known. MAG’s project objectives are to support improved safety and security for conflict-affected population humanitarian government officials and public service workers through reducing their risk of injury or death from mines and ERW by implementing risk education. In addition, MAG will gather information to improve understanding of the nature, extent and impact of contamination across Borno stateand publish monthly hazardous area maps and a contamination report allowing for safer population movements, humanitarian assistance and planning of future clearance activities.

The proposed project will ensure continuation and consolidation of results so far achieved by MAG in North East Nigeria. As one of only two humanitarian mine action (HMA) actors operational in the North East, MAG proposes to hold 1,900 risk education (RE) sessions to reach 40,000 beneficiaries. The breakdown of this group is 8,000 women (20%), 8,000 girls (20%) 8,000 boys (20%) and 16,000 men (40%).Most of the beneficiaries will be male, as men mainly undertake activities such as farming and woodcutting, which expose them to a higher risk. Furthermore, MAG wants to support more than 700 humanitarians, government and public service staff who are exposed to the risks of contaminated land while supporting the response to the on-going crisis. 

Against the background of the crisis in the North East, HMA represents a crosscutting intervention responding to humanitarian Early Recovery needs, as well as being a vital contributor to longer-term stabilization in identified targeted areas. In the short to medium term, the significant negative impact of mines and ERW contamination can be mitigated through the delivery of RE, supporting the priorities of the 2017 Nigeria HRP by protecting conflict-affected Nigerians.
Enhance reception, management and living conditions at IDP sites in Borno State, Nigeria IOM aims to continue its activities in displacement management system (DMS) and Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) and it intends to address these gaps identified and intervene with the proposed activities:
