PUI’s Strategy / Position in Nigeria
The main programmatic objectives of the mission for 2021 can be synthetized as follows:

• Continue and further develop the response to urgent needs of IDPs and Host Communities living in Maiduguri, Monguno City and newly accessible LGAs through an integrated approach
• Develop knowledge, humanitarian and context analysis on areas outside North East, and develop integrated programs
• Develop a mid-term to long-term strategy for Maiduguri and Monguno areas, integrating livelihood approaches and exit strategies from emergency programming

History of the Mission and Current Programs

• PUI has been present in the region for more than a decade, implementing projects in Chad since 2004 and in Cameroun since 2008. In Cameroon, PUI is implementing a project in response to Boko Haram -related displacement in the Extreme North, and in Adamawa. In early 2016. PUI has conducted an assessment in Maiduguri, which confirmed the emergency of the humanitarian situation and the need for a rapid intervention in order to address primary needs of people affected by the conflict in this area, especially those who had not received any assistance.
• The PUI Nigerian Mission officially opened in April 2016, with a focus on meeting urgent needs, including improving access to food commodities for Internally Displaced People (IDP) and host communities (HC), later adding Primary Health Care and Nutrition activities. PUI extended its activities in Monguno in 2018 mainly in Health, Nutrition and Protection with the support of BHA (ex-OFDA). The severity of the needs and the reduction of the humanitarian space make PUI positioning in Health and Nutrition crucial, especially in Monguno where PUI has taken some core activities from ALIMA after they closed their program there.
