Similar to the previous rounds of assessments, Borno is home to 75 per cent of all IDPs in north east Nigeria. The fact that the number of IDPs in Borno has increased with over 25,000 individuals in the course of only two months, combined with the most populous LGAs Guzamala, Kukawa and Nganzai being inaccessible, could be an indicator of continued insecurity and increased mobility in the state.

Remarkable is the 55 per cent increase of IDPs in Mafa LGA from 14,444 individuals in Round 34 to 22,397 persons in Round 35.

[ 1st September 2020,Nigeria ] Demand for food remains high but supply chain disruptions strain the agribusiness value chain and could lead to reduced yield. Pressure on local crop production is high because of the increasing demand for staples as consumers substitute lower cost items for higher priced processed food. However, the sector will struggle to fulfill the demand as a result of low yields in major agricultural commodities including rice, maize, sorghum, groundnuts, sugarcane, and yams. These yields could be reduced further if a steep rise in the price of high quality inputs from abroad leads to the substitution of lower quality inputs and to temporary shortages of labor for agricultural production.
[ 1st September 2020,Nigeria ] The real estate sector has been one of the sectors hardest hit by the crisis. Shopping malls and similar retail infrastructure have been adversely affected by the slowdown of foot traffic into retail outlets due to movement restrictions.

Males were one and a half times more likely to receive the vaccine than females and those with a ‘perception that vaccines are generally good' were seven times more likely to receive the vaccine than those who have a ‘perception that vaccines are generally bad'  ( Table 7 ) .

Remarkably, Taraba was the only state were IDP numbers decreased compared to Round 34. This was as a result of IDPs moving back to their locations of origin for farming activities. A significant reduction of more than 3 per cent or 2,931 individuals was recorded during the Round 35 assessment  ( from 91,252 individuals in Round 34 to 88,594 individuals in Round 35 ) .

[ 10th Mar 2021, Nigeria ]  Livestock production, productivity, and herd sizes are below average due to livestock theft in northwestern areas and the continued small herd sizes in the northeast, and somewhat less than favorable body conditions. The level of livestock migration to southern grazing areas is restricted due to the increasing level of herder/farmer conflict in southern areas with high competition for pastoral resources. Despite the lower than normal livestock body conditions, livestock prices are above average, mostly due to poor macroeconomic activities. However, the high livestock prices are still reducing access to meat and milk in most areas for poor households.

Trend analysis: Since the establishment of surveillance in 2016, and the scale up of the nutrition response in North East Nigeria, data from assessments and programmes show acute malnutrition levels have remained persistently high in Yobe  ( above 10% ) , while in Borno the acute malnutrition prevalence tends to vary according to seasonality  ( i.e. high during both the rainy and lean seasons )  and the scale of response  ( influenced by number of partners and access ) . The acute malnutrition prevalence in Adamawa state has remained relatively stable, with little variation over the seasons. Similar trends are expected in the projection period in all areas, compared to historical data used for analysis using the same time period, factoring in the possible impact of the COVID 19 pandemic and the escalation of armed conflict.

[ 16th Mar 2021,North east Nigeria ]  Humanitarian access in the conflict affected states of north east Nigeria has been highly constrained since the start of the current humanitarian response. Nigeria is one of the most challenging operational environments for humanitarians, who have been the direct target of violent attacks from organized armed groups  ( OAGs )  and non state armed groups  ( NSAGs ) .
[ 16th Mar 2021,North east Nigeria ] Security: In that same period, humanitarian partners suffered 98 instances. NSAGs continued to target garrison towns which host the so called ‘super camps.'

A humanitarian helicopter, the only safe means of accessing most deep field locations amidst escalating road insecurity in the north east, was struck by gunshots during an NSAG attack against a government forces position in Damasak on 2 July 2020, forcing the temporary suspension of humanitarian flights, which significantly impaired humanitarian activities.

[ 27th June 2021, Nigeria ] The impact of COVID 19 movement restrictions on resource competition and inter group conflict is dependent on a number of local contextual factors, including the existing economic situation, the structure of identity cleavages, and the specific design and implementation of local restrictions. In some communities, the COVID 19 lockdown and related movement restrictions contributed to reducing intergroup conflict by limiting many of the types of negative interactions that exacerbate disputes driven by resource scarcity. This dynamic was especially pronounced for disputes and grievances that stem from attempts of two or more groups to access a shared resource simultaneously, such as property disputes over a given set of land  ( common in indigene settler conflicts )  or disagreements over the use of shared rangeland, forests, and water points  ( common in herderfarmer conflicts ) .
