Background
In 2009, the Islamist militant group, Boko Haram became active in the Lake Chad Basin. Boko Haram attacks in Cameroon’s Far North Region, Niger’s Diffa Region, and in Western Chad have killed over 20,000 people. The insurgency scaled up in 2010 when the group started suicide attacks as well as attacks on so-called soft targets in the North-East Region of Nigeria. Since then, more than 230,000 Nigerians have fled to neighboring countries and 2.2 million were internally displaced - around 1.2 million children in Nigeria were forced to leave their homes1 , 50% of these children under the age of 5. The far-reaching nature of violence and unrest caused by Boko Haram has led Plan Cameroon and Niger to launch a response in highly vulnerable regions of the country. Plan International Nigeria will respond in three programming areas (in line with the Regional Lake Chad Strategy): 1) Education in Emergencies, 2) Child Protection in Emergencies, and 3) Youth Economic Empowerment.
Plan International Nigeria wishes to initiate a rapid needs assessment to analyze the situation at the community level, identify the most urgent needs of the affected population and Plan’s capacity to respond (depending on our resources and capacities). It should also determine the type of immediate relief response needed.
