Context:
In May 2013, the Government of Nigeria (GON) declared a State of Emergency (SOE) in the north-eastern (NE) states of Yobe, Borno, and Adamawa in response to Boko Haram insurgency. As a result of the insurgency and counter-insurgency operations in the affected states, an estimated 2 million people were displaced and are living with host families or in camps (official and unofficial). Borno state is the epicentre of the conflict and is currently home for the biggest IDP population in Nigeria with over 1.4 million IDPs.
Over the last few weeks, the humanitarian situation in Borno has deteriorated significantly. The re-opening of Local Government Areas (LGAs) which were previously inaccessible has led to new IDP locations in the state, while ongoing conflict has resulted in the influx of more IDPs into Maiduguri metropolis and establishment of satellite camps in the state.. Emerging reports from newly accessible areas in Borno state illustrate urgent nutrition and food security needs in particular, in addition to WASH, shelter and health. The situation has led the Federal government of Nigeria to announce a food security and nutrition emergency in Borno state and the international humanitarian and donor community is expected to employ additional resources to support the national and state government in their response to the crisis.
COOPI in Nigeria
COOPI started its operations in North-East Nigeria in July 2014 to carry out a rapid evaluation of the most relevant constraints suffered by the Internally Displaced People (IDPs) displaced by the food crisis and the Boko Haram insurgency in the Lake Chad Basin.
