General context of the project
Since 2009, insurgency and armed organised groups activities have crippled North-eastern Nigeria.

In newly accessible areas, basic infrastructure has been destroyed, essential services are non-existent, and most local governance systems are not functional. In support to the UN-led coordinated humanitarian response in the region, INTERSOS is implementing an integrated project to address critical gaps in health, nutrition, and WASH services for a highly vulnerable population in the newly accessible host communities in the Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Ngala (Ngala-Gambaru), Bama (Banki), Monguno (Monguno), Magumeri (Magumeri and Gajigana), Dikwa (Dikwa), Mobbar (Damasak) and Local Government Area (LGA).
