Life-saving CCCM, Emergency Shelter and NFI assistance for vulnerable IDP populations in formal camp sites and informal out-of-camp settlements in Borno State ACTED’s proposed 12-month intervention aims to deliver life-saving CCCM and Emergency Shelter and Non-Food Item (NFI) assistance, directly benefitting 9,000 displaced and conflict-affected persons in Dikwa, Monguno, Mafa and across two informal out-of-camp sites in Borno State. The Action will build on ACTED’s previous experience in the target sites, offering uninterrupted critical assistance to IDPs through Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) in Mafa, as well as urgently needed S/NFI provisions to complement ACTED’s on-going CCCM interventions in 8 camps in Dikwa, 6 camps in Monguno and GGASS Camp, Mafa. Moreover, ACTED will offer critical CCCM assistance to two informal sites and out-of-camp settings in Borno State, ensuring access to critical services for vulnerable communities, underserved by the current response. The Action will build on extensive coordination and collaborative efforts implemented by ACTED with OCHA and Sector partners in order to provide comprehensive S/NFI and CCCM assistance modalities, which address critical risks, support 2020 rainy season preparedness and complement COVID-19 readiness and response efforts for vulnerable IDP populations in both formal camp sites and informal out-of-camp settlements in Borno State.

Emergency S/NFI assistance will be delivered to 6,250 vulnerable, displacement-affected households in Dikwa, Monguno and Mafa via protection-centered and CCCM-led referral pathways, through the provision of 400 Bama-type shelters, 400 Emergency Shelter Kits and 420 NFI kits. ACTED proposes to repair and rehabilitate 450 dilapidated Dikwa-type shelters, previously constructed under a NHF-funded project in GGASS Camp, Mafa in between 2017 and 2018. ACTED’s S/NFI component will directly contribute to the S/NFI Sector’s decongestion strategy in Dikwa and aims to relieve critical and immediate S/NFI needs, targeting vulnerable IDP households that have received no prior assistance, or that are living in damaged and vulnerable shelters and require assistance ahead of the 2020 rainy season.

To address the multiple critical risks compounding IDP’s protection, health and dignity within both formal and informal camps, ACTED proposes comprehensive CCCM services to improve strong coordination amongst operational actors, strengthen rationalization of aid at camp-level, and ensure robust risk communication and community engagement as fundamental to pragmatic, principled, and protection-oriented programming. ACTED will catalyze on strong operational experience and existing robust relationships with IDP and host communities in Mafa to continue static CCCM site facilitation services in GGASS Camp, while complementing LGA-level COVID-19 emergency preparedness and response efforts through effective information management and site facilitation at camp level. In addition, a mobile CCCM response will aim to increase access to life-saving CCCM services amongst IDP populations residing in two informal camp site and camp-like settlements through the establishment of information centers, capacity building of participatory governance structures and RCCE. 

ACTED anticipates that the project will benefit 8,350individuals with S/NFI assistance (calculated at 5 persons per household), as well as all 2,750 IDPs situated across two informal camp and out-of-camp settlements (calculated using IOM DTM data). However, as ensure double counting of beneficiaries receiving shelter solutions and NFI assistance is avoided, only individuals receiving shelter assistance are accounted as direct beneficiaries (6,250). In total, ACTED expects to assist 9,000 direct beneficiaries.
