[ 1st Dec 2020, North east Nigeria ] Host Communities: In contrast to camps and camp like settings, hand pumps were the main source of drinking water in locations where IDPs were living among host communities  ( 52%   similar to Round 34 ) . Hand pumps were followed by piped water supplies  ( in 26% of locations – down by 1% ) , protected wells  ( in 8% of locations – up by 1% )  and unprotected well and water trucks  ( both at 6% ) . Surface water was the main source of drinking water in 1 per cent of the locations assessed.
[ 1st Dec 2020, North east Nigeria ] Host communities : In 94 per cent of displacement sites  ( up from 93% ) , toilets were described as not hygienic, while toilets were reported to be in hygienic conditions in 3 per cent of sites  ( down from 4% ) . In 2 per cent of the locations assessed, toilets were reported not usable at all. In the state of Borno, respondents said that 94 per cent of sites had unhygienic toilets  ( up by 3% ) , and 5 per cent of the toilets were hygienic  ( down from 6% ) . In Bauchi, nearly all toilets were reported unhygienic at 99 per cent.
[ 1st Dec 2020, North east Nigeria ] Host Communities: For IDPs living among host communities, food support was available on site in 50 per cent of the locations assessed  ( down by 2% compared to Round 34 ) . At the same time, food support was available off site for 26 per cent of the locations assessed  ( up by 1% compared to Round 34 ) , and in 24 per cent of locations where IDPs were living among host communities, no food support was available at all. In Borno, food support was available on site in 43 per cent, and off site in 39 per cent of locations assessed. In Yobe, food support was not available at all in 68 per cent of locations where IDPs were living among host communities.
[ 1st Jul 1st Sep 2020, Nigeria ]  Many households across the country affected by flooding between July and September 2020 are expected to remain displaced. These populations are expected to have some difficulty accessing typical income sources, coupled with the atypically high food prices; households are expected to focus most of their income to purchase food. As a result, these displaced households will likely only meet basic food needs and are anticipated to face Stressed  ( IPC Phase 2 )  through September 2021.
[ 10th Mar 2021, Nigeria ]  Due to the lower than normal access to income and continued very high staple food prices, purchasing power remains below normal for many households across the country. Household purchasing power is even lower in conflict affected areas, where staple prices are higher and incomes are lower. This is driving limited market food access. Furthermore, as households are spending a higher percentage of their income to purchase food, this limits access to agricultural inputs for the upcoming season and non food items.
[ 10th Mar 2021, Nigeria ]  The prevalence of malnutrition will remain elevated, particularly in conflict affected areas, and will peak during the lean season across the country due to poor food access. Additionally, poor access to basic social services for people affected by conflict and the start of the rainy season, which is highly conducive to diseases such as malaria, diarrhea, and cholera, are likely to negatively impact the already worrying nutritional situation. The GAM rate is expected to be within the "serious" range  ( GAM between 10 to 15 percent )  and higher in localized worst conflict affected areas in the north.
[ 1st Dec 2020, North east Nigeria ] LIVELIHOODS: Camps and camp like settings: In 36 per cent of camps/camp like settings assessed, petty trade was cited as the main occupation of IDPs  ( up from 25% during Round 34 ) , followed by jobs as a daily wage labourer which were cited in 30 per cent of camps/camp like settings as the main occupation of IDPs  ( up from 21% ) . In 24 per cent of camps/camp like settings, farming was cited as the main occupation of IDPs  ( down from 46% in Round 34 ) . The steep decrease of farming as the main occupation of IDPs can be explained by the fact that the Round 34 assessment coincided with the start of the farming season.
[ 1st Dec 2020, North east Nigeria ] Host Communities: In 2 per cent of the locations where IDPs were residing with host communities, no children were attending school at all  ( down from 3% ) . In 36 per cent of the locations where IDPs were residing with host communities, between 51 and 75 per cent of children were attending school  ( up by 2% ) . In 18 per cent of the locations, less than 25 per cent of children were attending school  ( similar to Round 34 )  and in 8 per cent of locations, over 75 per cent of children were attending school  ( up by 2% ) .
[ 1st Dec 2020, North east Nigeria ]  LIVELIHOOD FACILITIES FOR RETURNEES: The most common livelihood activity in locations of return was farming, recorded at 98 per cent of the sites assessed  ( similar to Round 34 ) . Other livelihood activities reported were petty trade and fishing activities, both cited in 1 per cent of the return locations as the most common livelihood activity for returnees. Access to farmland was available in 93 per cent of the locations assessed  ( similar to Round 34 ) .
[ 10th Mar 2021, Nigeria ]  Households that remain displaced due to both conflict and flooding with little or no harvest in 2020 are expected to remain primarily dependent on the market with atypically elevated staple food prices. This will most likely result in these populations having difficulty meeting their food needs and will likely face Crisis  ( IPC Phase 3 ) .
[ 1st Dec 2020, North east Nigeria ] EDUCATION: Camps and camp like settings: In 9 per cent of camps/camp like settings, no children were attending school at all  ( up from 6% in the Round 34 of assessments ) . In 39 per cent of camps/camp like settings, less than 25 per cent of the children were attending school  ( up from 25% )  and in 28 per cent of camps/camp like settings, between 25 and 50 per cent of children were attending school  ( down from 29% ) . In only 3 per cent of camps/camp like settings, more than 75 per cent of children were attending school.
[ 10th Mar 2021, Nigeria ]  Many displaced populations in northwest and northeast areas have limited ability to engage in income earning activities. This is especially true for newly displaced populations, who often find themselves in unfamiliar places and have difficulty finding labor and other income earning opportunities. Displaced populations engage in income earning activities such as petty trading, water hawking, dry season agricultural labor, construction labor work, and other menial jobs to earn below average income and access some food.
[ 31st August 2020, Jere, Mafa, Kondunga and Maiduguri ] Knowledge of 3 5 critical hand washing times was high amongst caregivers, however, Jere LGA had the lowest proportion 70%. Overall, the most practiced hand washing was ‘before eating' 87%, ‘after defecating' 79%, ‘before preparing food' 68%, ‘before feeding child' 60% and ‘after cleaning a baby's bottom' 51%.
[ 27June 2021, Yobe state ] Rollout of the second dose of COVID 19 vaccination continued across locations in the State this week, with an estimated14,865 people so far reached since 29 May. The figure is about 54 per cent of the total number reached with the first dose and partners are intensifying awareness campaigns to ensure maximum turnout. Yobe has a total of 498 confirmed COVID 19 cases as of 27 June as the rate of new infections continues to decrease.
[ 1st  7th Mar 2021, Yobe State, Nigeria ]  The SPHCMB, in collaboration with the WHO communications team, conducted the motorized campaign in high burden LGAs of Damaturu, Bade, Potiskum, and Nguru . Yobe SMOH, in collaboration with WHO HTR teams and AVADAR informants, UNICEF VCMs, and CGPP volunteers, conducted mass community sensitization, reaching 9,782 people with COVID 19 prevention messages. The SPHCMB and CRS, with support from WHO, conducted mass community sensitization through radio jingles and phone in programs at Yobe State Broadcasting Cooperation  ( YBC )  and Radio Nigeria Sunshine on FM 88.1.
[ 28th Jun   4th July 2021, Nigeria ] Bama: 233 arrivals were recorded in Bama LGA of Borno State. The arrivals included 164 individuals from Marwa region in Cameroon, 64 individuals from within Bama LGA in Borno State and 5 individuals from Gwoza LGA in Borno State. Seventy three per cent of the movements recorded were voluntary relocation and 27 per cent of the movements recorded were due to poor living conditions.
[ 1st Dec 2020, North east Nigeria ]  MARKET FACILITIES FOR RETURNEES: Twenty one per cent  ( down by 1% )  of locations where returnees have settled had markets nearby while 79 per cent had no market facilities. Twenty one per cent of markets were functional.
[ 10th Mar 2021, Nigeria ] Remittances will most likely slightly increase and be higher than in 2020; however, they remain below average due to the continued indirect impacts of the COVID 19 pandemic.
[ 1st Dec 2020, North east Nigeria ]  HEALTH FACILITIES FOR RETURNEES: Unlike the situation in locations hosting IDPs, 65 per cent of locations hosting returnees did not have access to health services. Lack of access to medical services was highest in Yobe at 68 per cent  ( up by 1% ) , followed by Adamawa at 67 per cent and Borno at 62 per cent  ( similar to Round 34 ) . In areas that did have access to health services, the most common type were primary health centres or PHCC  ( 27% )  followed by general hospitals and mobile clinics, both at 3 per cent.
[ 1st Dec 2020, North east Nigeria ]  SHELTER CONDITIONS FOR RETURNEES: Seventy six per cent of returnees resided in shelters with walls. Eighteen per cent of returnees were residing in traditional shelters and 6 per cent were living in emergency/makeshift shelters. In Borno, 82 per cent of returnees lived in shelters with walls while 9 per cent were living in emergency/makeshift shelters and 10 per cent were dwelling in traditional shelters. No changes were recorded compared to Round 34.Twenty six per cent of returnee households found their houses in their locations of origin either fully or partially damaged. Seventyfour per cent of the houses of returnees were not damaged upon their return.
[ 1st Dec 2020, North east Nigeria ]  EDUCATION FACILITIES FOR RETURNEES: In contrast with facilities in locations hosting IDPs, educational facilities were present in only 49 per cent of locations where returnees were residing. Education facilities were not available in 51 per cent of the locations hosting returnees. When considering the information per state, education facilities were available in 48 per cent of the locations in Borno  ( down by 2% ) , in 54 per cent of the locations in Adamawa and 51 per cent of the locations in Yobe.
[ 10th Mar 2021, north east Nigeria ] Households affected by the insurgency, particularly those in inaccessible areas, mainly in parts of Borno State who had limited or no main season harvests and restricted access to markets, livelihood activities, and assistance, are facing large food consumption gaps with elevated levels of acute malnutrition. These households will likely resort to wild food consumption, limited trade by barter, and some will resort to begging to access some food. As a result, this is expected to lead to persistent Emergency  ( IPC Phase 4 )  outcomes.
[ 10th Mar 2021, Northeast Nigeria ] Households in hard to reach areas mainly have little to no food stocks and access food through wild foods. These households also face limited market access and are expected to face Emergency  ( IPC Phase 4 ) . A risk of Famine  ( IPC Phase 5 )  persists, and Famine could occur in a worst case scenario if there is a dramatic uptick or shift in conflict that limits access to typical food and income sources and humanitarian assistance for a prolonged period of time.
[ 1st Jan 2021, Nigeria ] The main season harvest was below average, with poorer households reverting to market purchase in January following depleted stocks. Similarly, the market stock levels remain below average and insufficient to meet increasing household demand. Moreover, high demand, disruption to market supply, and poor macroeconomic conditions drive increases in transportation costs and drive high staple food prices.
[ 10th Mar 2021, north east Nigeria ] Most conflict affected households in relatively accessible areas in parts of Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe states who remain displaced and are within major urban areas with limited access to humanitarian assistance, are likely to have continued restricted purchasing power. As a result, they will most likely face Crisis  ( IPC Phase 3 ) , while those in camps with better access to humanitarian assistance are expected to experience Stressed!  ( IPC Phase 2! )  through at least May 2021.
[ 10th Mar 2021, north east Nigeria ]  In areas of Yobe State facing Crisis  ( IPC Phase 3 ) , where some areas are inaccessible, access to normal livelihood activities is lower than usual. In inaccessible areas, some households face large consumption gaps. While in adjacent accessible areas, households have somewhat better access to markets and income and facing moderate consumption gaps indicative of Crisis  ( IPC Phase 3 ) .
[ 28th Jun   4th July 2021, Nigeria ]  Michika: 83 arrivals and 74 departures were recorded in Michika LGA of Adamawa State. The arrivals included 33 individuals from Gombi LGA in Adamawa State, 26 individuals from Yola South LGA in Adamawa State and 24 individuals from Maiha LGA in Adamawa State. All individuals reported that their intended destination was Gombi LGA in Adamawa State. Fifty three per cent of the movements recorded were a result of the improved security situation in areas of origin and 47 per cent of the movements recorded were due to seasonal farming.
[ 8th   14th May 2021,North East Nigeria ] During the period 08   14 May 2021, 283 movements were observed at three Points of Entry in Borno State. Of the total movements recorded, 127 were incoming from Cameroon's Far North Region while 156 were outgoing from Borno State to Cameroon‘s Far North Region.
[ 1st Feb 2021, North east Nigeria ] Malaria: In Epi week 8, 4,189 cases of confirmed malaria were reported through EWARS. Of the reported cases, 405 were from General Hospital Biu, 172 were from Uba General Hospital in Askira Uba, 164 were from Hausari IDP Camp Clinic  ( MDM )  in Damboa, 135 were from Gwange PHC in MMC, 99 were from Gajiram MCH in Nganzai and 97 were from Sabon Gari Lowcost IDP Camp Clinic  ( MDM )  in Damboa. No associated death was reported.
[ 10th Mar 2021, Nigeria ] Conflict affected households in partially accessible LGAs in Bama and Gwoza LGAs have limited access to income generating opportunities and humanitarian food assistance and are dependent mainly on market purchases for food. They are unable to meet basic food needs and are facing food consumption gaps and elevated malnutrition, and are facing Crisis  ( IPC Phase 3 )  outcomes.
[ 10th Mar 2021, Nigeria ]  Additionally, some households also own and sell livestock, with others engaging in fishing, both of which, due to limited market access and high prices, drive lower access to income. Most households in these areas rely on bartering for food access, but this remains significantly below average. Consequently, wide food consumption gaps and high levels of malnutrition are likely ongoing.
[ 10th Mar 2021, Nigeria ]  Formal and informal cross border trade activities are expected to slowly improve as international land borders have opened at four major border crossings for most goods; however, due to continued poor macroeconomic conditions in Nigeria, including the depreciating value of the NGN and conflict, trade flows are expected to remain below average. The continued restrictions on commodities such as rice are expected to continue to limit the movement of goods.
[ 10th Mar 2021, north east Nigeria ] Households, mainly in parts of Borno state who remain in areas that are inaccessible to humanitarian actors and consume wild foods, with little to no food stocks, are facing large food consumption gaps and are in Emergency  ( IPC Phase 4 )  outcomes.
[ 10th Mar 2021, Nigeria ] Staple food flow towards the region improved relative to last year but remains below average and below pre conflict levels. This is attributed to a significant level of IDP returnees to the area and increased road accessibility. Similarly, there are also increased cross border trade activities with Cameroon. However, staple food prices, particularly rice, maize, millet, sorghum, and groundnut, remain above last year and the five year average. Poorer households with low access to cash income would continue to face difficulty accessing staple food throughout the outlook period.
[ 5 July 2021, Yobe state ] Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Needs: • The onset of the rainy season has increased the risk of water borne disease outbreaks including AWD and cholera especially in remote locations where WASH infrastructure and health facilities are insufficient or dilapidated. AWD cases have already been reported in Bursari LGA, as partners and Government are intensifying efforts to contain the situation.
[ 10th Mar 2021, Nigeria ] Dry season farming activities are slightly higher relative to last year and the five year average, but below the pre conflict era, following slight improvement in land access and inputs to the households in the region through the distribution of agricultural inputs. However, restrictions on tall growing crops  ( staples )  continue to limit food production in the area. Households primarily engaged in the production of legumes and vegetables, primarily for sale.
[ 10th Mar 2021, Nigeria ] Income generating opportunities generally remain significantly below normal and the five year average, although slightly better than last year. Agricultural labor remains the primary source of income for poorer households within the region and increased marginally compared to last year; other income sources include construction labor, firewood sales, petty trading, craft making, cap knitting, and labor migration. Dry season farming would provide agricultural labor opportunities to poorer households, although daily wages will remain below average given increased labor supply. Hence, income generated will not be sufficient to meet the household's food and non food needs. Poorer households would continue to rely on below average remittances. Overall, income opportunities remain below average, though slightly higher than last year.
Why – The major contributing factors of acute malnutrition in all the analysed LGAs include very poor food consumption patterns  ( both quantity and nutritional quality )  and high morbidity rates  ( diarrhoea and fever )  among the analysed populations. Another factor is insecurity, which has displaced many people and prevented the delivery of and access to humanitarian aid. The major contributing factor in the projection periods is the expected further deteriorating security situation leading to decreased food accessibility, possible outbreaks of acute watery diarrhoea, measles, and malaria. The nutrition situation may also be negatively affected by the COVID 19 pandemic and its impact on socio economic factors
[ 27th Feb 7th Mar 2021, North east Nigeria ] Nigerian officials and their Cameroonian counterparts have agreed to repatriate about 48,000 Nigerian refugees, mostly from Borno State, on February 27 and March 7. The refugees who would return voluntarily would be resettled in Borno State  ( Bama and Banki mainly ) . Most of the refugees are in Minawao refugee camp, located in Mokolo in the Far North of Cameroon.
[ 10th Mar 2021, Nigeria ]  As conflict is anticipated to increase during the dry season and remain at higher levels, it is expected a higher number than average of households are expected to face Crisis  ( IPC Phase 3 )  and Emergency  ( IPC Phase 4 )  during the February to September period. A risk of Famine persists and would occur in a worst case scenario where households are cut off from humanitarian assistance and typical food and income sources for a prolonged period of time.
[ 16th Mar 2021, Nigeria ]  The statistics bureau said the economically active or working age population  ( 15 – 64 years of age )  increased from 117 million in the second quarter to 122 million in Q4 2020, a 4.3 percent increase. The report shows the number of persons in the labour force  ( people within ages 15  64, who are able and willing to work )  was estimated to be 69.7 million.
However, the situation is expected to significantly deteriorate during the projection period of May   August 2021  ( lean season )  with 11 LGAs expected to be in IPC AMN Phase 4  ( Critical )  and 34 LGAs in IPC AMN Phase 3  ( Serious ) . Around 1.15 million children aged 6 59 months are expected to suffer from acute malnutrition during the course of 2021, with more than half of them  ( 605,000 )  expected to be severely malnourished. Over 123,000 pregnant or lactating women are also expected to suffer from acute malnutrition.
[ 10th Mar 2021, Nigeria ] Conflict affected households are partially accessible with limited access to income generating opportunities and restricted humanitarian assistance and mainly depend on market purchases, wild food collection, and indebtedness for limited food and income, and are likely facing food consumption gaps and in Crisis  ( IPC Phase 3 )  outcomes through May 2021. Poorer households would continue to rely on remittances, begging, and labor migration.
[ 10th Mar 2021, north east Nigeria ] Conflict affected households in partially accessible areas of Bama and Gwoza LGAs in Livelihood zone 9: As the Boko Haram conflict persists in the area, more populations either return to Bama and Gwoza LGAs or relocate to other neighboring LGAs depending on the security situation. These movements can be spontaneous or voluntary, with most movements targeted at access to humanitarian assistance in garrison towns.
[ 10th Mar 2021,north east Nigeria ] Households that remain accessible and mainly dependent on assistance in Bama and Gwoza LGAs are likely to face a Famine  ( IPC Phase 5 )  risk where these households are cut off and unable to access humanitarian assistance for a prolonged period due to escalating conflict.
[ 1st Feb  7th Feb 2021, Nigeria ] The security situation remains calm recently, although military operations, as well as population movement, persist. The IOM ETT report number 209, covering February 1 to 7, highlighted 39 and 67 arrivals from Bama and Gwoza, respectively, among other locations with 7 and 3 departures. Similarly, ETT report number 208, covering the period 25th to January 31 2021, highlighted 77 and 243 arrivals in Bama and Gwoza with 4 departures in Bama. The recent IOM DTM report released in September 2020 indicates 81,516 and 146,504 IDPs in Bama and Gwoza LGAs, respectively.
[ 10th Mar 2021, Nigeria ] Income earning opportunities remain constrained to most households in conflict prone areas while relatively normal in other areas of the country. Households in conflict affected areas engage in petty trading, labor work, firewood sale, and other menial jobs to earn income. For many of these activities, income earned is significantly limited. Similarly, community support from host communities to IDPs and remittances are below average as employment remains lower than usual in urban areas.
[ 10th Mar 2021, Northeast Nigeria ]  Prices for both staple and cash crops are significantly above the five year average, and last year, some staple food prices are nearly as high as they were in 2016. While some staple prices decreased with the harvest in October, prices of other commodities remained somewhat stable or even increased  ( Figure 3 ) . In Dawanau market, a primary grain market in West Africa, maize prices are 43 and 45 percent above last year and the five year average, respectively, relative to December 2020.
[ 1st   31st July 2021, Nigeria ]  During the period 01   31 July 2021, 1,160 movements were observed at three Points of Entry in Borno state. Of the total movements recorded, 521 were incoming from the Far North Region in Cameroon and 28 from Ndjamena in Chad. Additionally, 611 outgoing movements were recorded from Borno State to the Far North Region in Cameroon.
[ 10th Mar 2021, Nigeria ]  Income earned from labor is below average across most of the country but even lower in conflict affected areas, where better off and middle households have limited ability to pay poor households. Most households are engaged in construction work, land preparation, motorbike driving, and other unskilled labor to earn limited income due to the poor macroeconomic conditions.
[ 10th Mar 2021, Nigeria ]  Current engagement in agricultural activities and labor availability is below average; however, somewhat better than 2020. At the same time, the government provided loans for farmers to purchase inputs for the ongoing dry season, increasing participation in the dry season. In the northern parts of the country, access to land is limiting engagement in agriculture due to conflict. Similarly, agricultural labor and related income earning opportunities are below average in conflict prone areas. In southern areas of the country, land preparation activities are ongoing for the start of the season.
[ 1st Dec 2020, BAY states ]  In December, humanitarian actors provided food assistance to 2 million people in Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe States, of which 1.8 million beneficiaries are in Borno State. Humanitarian actors remain targets of attacks by the insurgents, constraining distribution to some high risk areas, where needs are often most acute. Recent attacks in Dikwa, Marte, and localized parts of a couple other LGAs in Borno State led to the disruption of humanitarian assistance delivery.
[ 10th Mar 2021,north east Nigeria ]  While conditions in the northeast remain poor, there has been an improvement in recent years with households returning to their areas of origin, especially in some northern and central areas of Borno State, improving food and income access. Households who are in displacement camps are mainly dependent on humanitarian assistance and in Stressed!  ( IPC Phase 2 ) .
[ 7th Mar 2021, North east Nigeria ]  YOBE STATE: Five  ( 5 )  new confirmed cases were reported in week 09, 2021. The total number of confirmed COVID 19 cases is now two hundred and ninety three  ( 293 ) . The total number of deaths from COVID 19 is nine  ( 9 ) . Eight  ( 8 )  patients have recovered and got discharged. Fifty eight  ( 58 )  samples were collected in week 09. This is a significant  ( 37% )  decrease in sample collection and testing compared to the preceding week. Five  ( 5 )  samples tested positive, forty eight  ( 48 )  are negative, and the results of the remaining five  ( 5 )  samples are pending.
[ 19th March 2021, North East, Nigeria ] The insurgency in NE Nigeria, that has been going on for over eleven years has led to massive humanitarian needs for well over eight million Internally Displaced Peoples  ( IDPs ) . Millions of civilians in the northeastern Nigerian states of Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe live in extreme vulnerability, with credible fears of violence along with high levels of malnutrition, water shortages, limited access to shelter and health care, and food insecurity. .
Where – Acute malnutrition is a major public health problem in several LGAs. According to the IPC AMN current analysis, Karasuwa, Machina, Nguru, Yunusari, Yusufari, Geidam LGAs in Yobe state and Nganzai LGA in Borno state are in IPC AMN Phase 4  ( Critical ) . Damboa, Gubio, Kaga, Konduga, Mafa, Magumeri, Monguno, Mobbar, Askira/Uba, Bayo and Shani LGAs in Borno state and Bade, Bursari, Jakusko, Damaturu, Fika, Gujba, Gulani and Nangere LGAs in Yobe are in IPC AMN Phase 3  ( Serious ) . LGAs classified under IPC AMN Phase 2  ( Alert )  include those in Northern Adamawa, Eastern Borno, Biu, Chibok, Kwaya Kusar, MMC, Jere and Fune, Potiskum and Tarmua in Southern Yobe. According to the projection period of May – August 2021, the acute malnutrition levels are expected to worsen in 36 LGAs to reach IPC AMN Phase 3 or 4.
[ 24th   30th July 2021, Borno State ]  The lingering conflict in Nigeria's North East Zone has been the major cause of widespread population displacement. Over 2 million persons have been forced to leave their areas of residence in search of safety and security in neighbouring wards and LGAs.
According to the IPC AMN classification, five Local Government Areas  ( LGAs )  in Northern Yobe, Nganzai LGA in Borno and Geidam LGA in Yobe were in IPC AMN Phase 4  ( Critical )  during the current analysis period of September   December 2020.
[ North East Nigeria ]  During the period 13   19 March 2021, 388 movements were observed at three Points of Entry in Borno State. Of the total movements recorded, 227 were incoming from the Far North Region in Cameroon. Additionally, 161 outgoing movements were recorded from Borno State to the Far North Region in Cameroon.
LGAs in IPC AMN Phase 3  ( Serious )  during this period included all the seven LGAs in Central Borno, Askira/Uba, Bayo and Shani LGAs in Southern Borno, Bade, Bursari and Jakusko LGAs in Central Yobe; and Damaturu, Fika, Gujba, Gulani, and Nangere LGAs in Southern Yobe.
LGAs in IPC AMN Phase 2  ( Alert )  during this period included all five LGAs in Eastern Borno and a total of 15 LGAs in Northern Adamawa and MMC/Jere. Additionally, Biu, Chibo, and Kwaya Kusar LGAs in Southern Borno and Fune, Potiskum and Tarmuwa LGAs in Southern Yobe were also in IPC AMN Phase 2. All 13 LGAs in Southern Adamawa and Hawul LGA in Southern Borno were in IPC AMN Phase 1  ( Acceptable )  during this period. Four LGAs in Borno State  ( Abadam, Guzamala, Kukawa and Marte )  were completely inaccessible; therefore no data was available for analysis.
[ 1st Feb 2021, North east Nigeria ]  AFRYDEV: During the flagoff, IEC materials with messages on COVID 19 risk mitigation and handbills for making face masks in Hausa, Kanuri and English were shared and explained using a pictorial that are easily understood and relatable to community women. Items distribution in the dignity kits include; Bucket, Rechargeable touch light, Hand washing basin, soaps, Omo, sanitizer, Towel, Sanitary pad, Towel, Comb, Body cream among others.
[ 1st Feb 2021, North east Nigeria ]  LESGO continue continues it support to humanitarian activities by distribution of face masks as well as community sensitization at Sabon Gari community, Girei I ward of Girei local government area, Adamawa State: during the period under review, LESGO through its health educator conducted engaged women under the house to house sensitization/awareness campaign in Sabon Gari community, Girei I, Girei local government area. Available women were also given disposable face masks during the outreach.
According to the IPC AMN classification, Phase 4  ( Critical )  and Phase 3  ( Serious )  indicate that urgent action is required to reduce acute malnutrition levels by significantly scaling up and intensifying treatment and protection activities to reach additional populations affected. IPC AMN Phase 2  ( Alert )  indicates the situation is progressively deteriorating with increased levels of acute malnutrition and requires strengthening the existing response.
[ 24th   30th July 2021, Borno State ]  As a result of the attacks between 24 and 30 July 2021, a total of 1,259 individuals were displaced from Dikwa LGA towards the LGAs Jere, Konduga and Maiduguri Metropolitan Council. They arrived at Dikwa Motor Park from various camps and communities in Dikwa LGA. As presented on the map below, their intended destinations were locations in the LGAs Jere, Konduga and Maiduguri Metropolitan Council in Borno State. Since the first attack in Dikwa on 1 March 2021, a total of 29,143 IDPs have been recorded by DTM in Dikwa Motor Park. They were displaced from Dikwa LGA and en route to destinations in the LGAs Jere, Konduga and Maiduguri Metropolitan Council in Borno State. Additionally, since 1 May 2021, a total of 15,769 returnees have been recorded by DTM in the same transit point. They are returning from locations in the LGA Maiduguri Metropolitan Council towards Dikwa LGA.

[ 1st Feb 2021, North east Nigeria ] Slightly under half of IDPs are in formal camps, the rest in informal camps or settlements, or living in host communities. Most of those in camps endure inadequate conditions and services, such as overcrowding, protection risks, poor and fragile shelter, inadequate water sanitation and hygiene  ( WASH )  facilities, limited basic services, a paucity of cooking fuel, and scarce livelihood opportunities, including limited access to land for agriculture  ( grazing and crop farming ) . Those in informal camps or settlements generally face worse conditions, with little or no formal services  ( for example land is private so sanitation facilities cannot be built ) . IDPs living in communities have more varied circumstances, but rarely better than those of people in the host communities, most of whom are very poor and deprived of essential services and presence of civil servants, straining already meagre resources in this poorest of Nigeria's regions

[ 16th Mar 2021,North east Nigeria ] More than 11 years of conflict in north east Nigeria is taking a heavy toll on people in the BAY states. Violent attacks by non state armed groups and counter operations are expected to continue to drive vulnerabilities and needs among affected people and communities in 2021. Underlying issues of widespread poverty, unemployment, socio economic imbalances, marginalization, governance deficits, rapid population growth and climate shocks which rank among root causes of the crisis remain largely unaddressed.
[ 10th Mar 2021, Nigeria ] The anticipated continuous atypical increase in staple prices and sustained increase in market dependence for food will increase the prevalence of malnutrition. Towards the lean season and rainfall onset, there is a tendency for high exposure to water related diseases such as cholera, diarrhea, malaria, and coupled with limited access to medical facilities; more households will be predisposed to increased prevalence of malnutrition.
[ 14 May 2021, Borno state, Nigeria ] During the past years, there has been frequent fire outbreaks in the camps in Monguno LGA in Borno State. The fire outbreaks are the major reason for displacement within the camp and are generally triggered by cooking close to shelters, smoking, and burning of the bush surrounding the camp.

[ 10th Mar 2021, Nigeria ] Conflict affected households in partially accessible areas of Bama and Gwoza LGAs in Livelihood zone 9 : Populations in this area, particularly the very poor with less sufficient staple food production and limited access to cash income, continue to rely on humanitarian assistance from both partners and government, which continue to see a decline in the number of persons assisted due to limited funding. December 2020 data from Nigeria Food Security Sector 5W highlighted a decrease in the number of individuals provided with food assistance by partners by about half from November to December. Some of these affected households have resorted to intense labor work, firewood sales, and construction work to earn some income. Others are engaged in petty trading and cross border trading activities with Cameroon to earn limited income as the cross border trade activities gradually peak.
[ 16th Mar 2021,North east Nigeria ]  Solutions to the crisis, including political solutions, remain elusive. Despite the federal government's offer of amnesty to repentant NSAG operatives through the “Operation Safe Corridor' programme , deadly attacks targeting civilian and military locations continued throughout 2020. These attacks forced multiple displacements, and caused damage and destruction to critical infrastructure, including hospitals and roads, as well as disruption to livelihoods. The end result has been an increase in needs and imposes continued reliance on humanitarian aid.
[ 16th Mar 2021,North east Nigeria ]  Ongoing conflict and attacks in these LGAs have also impeded livelihood opportunities, particularly in farming areas where non state armed groups  ( NSAGs )  maintain a heightened presence. Such attacks and NSAG presence further constrain access for aid workers, though there could be complementarity insofar as state government staff and resources may have lesser constraints. Some LGAs have conditions closer to suitability for return, and better security. However, returns to LGAs that lack these conditions will likely increase vulnerabilities of civilians.
[ 16th Mar 2021,North east Nigeria ]  In 2020, the Borno State Government promoted returns of some internally displaced people  ( IDPs )  from camps to their LGAs of origin, in many cases without the active engagement of humanitarian organizations. Some of the LGAs to which such IDPs return had a near absence of civil authorities, basic infrastructure and critical services. More importantly, security conditions of return areas are critical. Such conditions raise concerns for returnees and sustainability of such initiatives, especially as aid agencies still do not have access to many of these areas.
[ 16th Mar 2021,Nigeria ] The drop in revenue is already curtailing service delivery and the funding of social safety net programmes for populations hardest hit by the pre existing burden of climate shocks, underlying poverty, the conflict in the northeast and the recent COVID 19 pandemic.
