Project and Study Summary Table
Reference of the Assessment PD-ABU-01451
Project Name: Building Resilience in Borno State
Sector: Food Security & Livelihood, Health and Nutrition, WASH
Implementing Partners (if applicable) N/A
1. Project Background
1.1. Rationale for the Project
The past ten years of violence between the Nigerian armed forces and armed opposition groups in North East Nigeria have caused mass displacement and drained state and community resources. At its peak, 2.1 million individuals were displaced by the conflict; the majority of these people are in Borno state, which currently hosts 1,603,044 internally displaced persons (IDPs) and more than 3.8 million in need of humanitarian assistance 1 . Previously inaccessible areas in Borno are now opening, revealing populations in dire need of support. The conflict has left a significant number of people with no assets, which has decreased food security and led to negative coping strategies, such as reduced number of meals, child
labour, asset selling, and bankrupt.
The overall vision of Building Resilience project in Borno is to respond to the need of building resilience and sustainability and enhancing the capacity of public institutions and affected communities to anticipate and react to the challenges of poverty, social cohesion, climate change, and crisis/security.
The Specific Objective of the project is to Improve nutrition security of conflict-affected populations through uptake of critical household health and hygiene behaviors and through improved government’s
capacity to provide primary health care, water, sanitation and hygiene services, support safety nets and livelihoods sources
1.2 Project Goal
Borno state has various existing Social Protection programmes that consist of different measures designed to prevent and reduce poverty as well as vulnerability by promoting efficient labour market, as
well as diminishing people’s exposure to risk. However, due to the absence of a harmonized and coordinated approach to social protection programmes in the State, different MDAs coordinate these
programmes separately. As such, they remain fragmented, not well-coordinated, less strong and sustainable social protection programmes and systems in place. Like many other States in Nigeria, Borno
State has a number of social protection programmes that are politically driven and ad-hoc in nature. To address this and ensure that social protection is effective, inclusive and sustainable the EU-funded
project will support the Borno state government to develop multi-sectoral state specific social protection policy. This policy is expected to outline the state government’s social protection strategies and
interventions to reduce poverty and vulnerability in an integrated, coherent, coordinated, and sustainable manner, prioritizing the reduction of extreme poverty and emphasizing long-term and predictable interventions.
1.3 Geographical scope covered by the analysis
The consultancy will focus on the entire State. The assignment is to come up with a final draft of Social Protection Policy for Borno through a consultative process engaging all relevant stakeholders at
State, LGAs and Emirates council level, with the ‘blessings’ and leadership of Traditional Leaders, Legislators and Executives from across EU funded LGAs Monguno, Mobbar, Nganzai, Kaga and
Damboa LGAs.
