It is a known fact that flooding causes an unending calamity that results in food shortages, displacement, and loss of means of livelihoods, as well as destroyed properties and assets. In order to ensure that impacted populations receive timely financial support to fulfil critical needs, this initiative is planned as an anticipatory step to give emergency Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance (MPCA) before the full impact of flooding rises. This will help in the provision of options, dignity, and self-reliance to the affected population in managing their needs in the event of severe flooding.ltbrgtThe intervention will prioritize vulnerable households, including women, children, persons with disabilities, and elderly individuals, who are most at risk of suffering from the effects of flooding. By providing cash transfers before and during the crisis to a targeted 13,092 individuals  in selected communities of Damare, Dakri, Gereng and Modire in Girei and Fufore LGA, respectively. Beneficiaries will have the flexibility to purchase essential goods such as food, clean water, medicine, and emergency shelter supplies with the guidance of LESGO in alignment with MEB standard. The project seeks to distribute anticipatory cash assistance to households before flooding intensifies, enabling them to prepare adequately, reduce the need for harmful coping strategies, such as selling assets or skipping meals, enhance food security and health outcomes by ensuring families can afford essential supplies, strengthen resilience by helping households recover faster post-disaster, and support local markets by encouraging beneficiaries to purchase necessities within their communities. The project's implementation plan concentrates on important areas to guarantee that multipurpose financial assistance is delivered efficiently. In order to identify the households most at risk in flood-prone areas, vulnerability assessments and community discussions will be used to carry out targeted beneficiary selection in conjunction with the state social register. Depending on accessibility and security considerations, cash transfer mechanisms will be facilitated through direct bank transfers and/or mobile money services to guarantee that the funds reach recipients safely and effectively. Information campaigns will also be used to raise community awareness and involve the community, educating households on how to best use the monies for recovery and preparedness. A robust monitoring and evaluation system will be built to track the usage of funds and assess the overall impact of the intervention, ensuring transparency and effectiveness.ltbrgtAdditionally, the project will improve coordination for future disaster response planning and readiness by fortifying cooperation between government stakeholders and humanitarian organizations.ltbrgtlt/pgtGRASSROOT LIFE SAVING OUTREACHGRASSROOT LIFE SAVING OUTREACHCHRISTIAN RURAL AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIANigeria Humanitarian FundFood Security400000.00400000.00Nigeria Humanitarian FundGRASSROOT LIFE SAVING OUTREACH400000.00Nigeria Humanitarian FundGRASSROOT LIFE SAVING OUTREACH3835.87GRASSROOT LIFE SAVING OUTREACHUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-NGA-25-R-NGO-35889United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtThe Future Resilience and Development Foundation (FRAD Foundation) in partnership with Smiling Heart Initiative International (SHI) proposes a 6-month anticipatory action project aimed at proactively addressing immediate and predictable impacts of flood and other natural disasters In the BAY state.

Adamawa State, in Northern Nigeria, is particularly vulnerable to recurrent flooding due to its geographic location along the Benue River and other major rivers such as the Gongola and Yedsarem. The Yedsarem River, flowing from the Hudu hills in eastern Mubi and terminating into Lake Chad, further exacerbates this susceptibility. Dense populations within these areas heighten the impact, as more people are affected when floods occur. LGAs including Fufore, Yola South, Yola North, Girei, Demsa, Numan, and Lamurde are among the most affected, experiencing both flash and riverine flooding annually.ltbrgtSecondary data on flood risks, crucial for understanding flood patterns and vulnerabilities in Adamawa State, has been comprehensively sourced from key national agencies. This includes NiMET (Seasonal Climate Prediction for 2024 and 2025), NEMA (Nigeria Hazard Risk Country-wide Analysis, 2024), NiHSA (Annual Flood Outlook, 2024), and NASRDA (Flood-prone Areas in Nigeria, 2024). This data indicates that Adamawa and other states along the Benue River system are on high alert for flooding, especially following the opening of Cameroon’s Lagdo Dam. A situation report by NEMA in 2024 indicated that 20,001 to 50,000 people were affected by flooding, displacing 5,000 individuals. The humanitarian response needs for 2024 highlight a sustained demand for information management, dissemination, and support for communities to build resilience and recovery. Furthermore, according to the Annual Flood Forecast for 2025, Adamawa falls under the high flood risk category.ltbrgtBuilding on this contextual understanding, the specific needs assessment conducted in identified flood-vulnerable communities in these LGAs revealed the following critical findings:ltbrgt Limited Access to Timely and Actionable Early Warning Information: While national-level flood forecasts exist, these often do not reach vulnerable communities in a timely and easily understandable format. There is a significant gap in last-mile dissemination. Communities reported relying on traditional indicators or observing rising water levels directly, often too late to take adequate preventative measures.ltbrgt Lack of Community-Level Preparedness Mechanisms: Many communities lack established plans or resources for responding to flood warnings. This includes a lack of designated safe areas, limited knowledge of evacuation procedures, and insufficient resources for temporary shelter or securing belongings.ltbrgt Vulnerability of Specific Groups: The assessment highlighted the disproportionate vulnerability of certain groups, including women, girls, the elderly, and persons with disabilities, who often face greater challenges in accessing information and participating in preparedness activities.ltbrgt Desire for Improved Communication and Engagement: Communities expressed a strong desire to be more involved in understanding flood risks and receiving early warnings through channels they trust, such as community leaders, local radio, and mobile communication.ltbrgt Need for Capacity Building: There is a clear need to build the capacity of community members and local stakeholders to understand and act upon early warning information effectively.ltbrgt ltbrgtThis comprehensive assessment underscores the urgent need for a project focused on strengthening the early warning system at the community level, ensuring timely dissemination of information, and enhancing local preparedness capacities to mitigate the impact of floods.ltbrgtlt/pgtNigerian Red Cross SocietyNigerian Red Cross SocietyNigeria Humanitarian FundCoordination and Support Services198736.651091.96199828.61Nigeria Humanitarian FundNigerian Red Cross Society101912.59Nigeria Humanitarian FundNigerian Red Cross Society97916.02Nigeria Humanitarian FundNigerian Red Cross SocietyXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-NGA-25-R-UN-37025United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtThis project aims to restore and stabilize critical communications services in the humanitarian hubs of Monguno, Banki, and Dikwa, where recent service disruptions have severely impacted operational coordination and staff safety. These disruptions, caused by the premature depletion of prepaid internet services and disconnections by Internet Service Providers (ISPs), threaten to disconnect over 1,600 humanitarian personnel from more than 100 UN and NGO organizations working in Northeast Nigeria. The Emergency Telecommunications Sector (ETS), led by the World Food Programme (WFP), is currently underfunded and has not yet received donor commitments, making it increasingly difficult to sustain services. Despite these financial constraints, ETS plans to implement strategic solutions to keep prepaid services active, settle outstanding ISP obligations, and reinforce communications infrastructure in the affected locations.ltbrgtThe communications services provided by ETS are essential enablers of humanitarian action, supporting secure communication, real-time coordination, and access to critical information that allows responders to deliver timely and effective assistance while they remain safe.

FHI 360 will strengthen the capacity of three existing Stabilization Centres (SCs) in Banki and Ngala to manage SAM with medical complications in children aged 0–59 months. This includes expanding bed capacity, providing essential pharmaceuticals, and deploying surge human resources. Caregivers will receive three balanced meals daily during admission. Upon discharge cash-for-transport stipends would be provided. To improve household dietary diversity and access to nutrient-dense foods, FHI 360 will implement the Cash Plus for Nutrition model—Resourcing Families for Better Nutrition (RF4BN)—alongside lifesaving nutrition interventions for children under five and pregnant/breastfeeding women and girls (PBWG). The intervention will target 700 vulnerable households enrolled in SCs, providing three monthly tranches of e-vouchers valued at ₦12,325 for U5 and ₦13,634 for PBWG, plus a ₦3,000 transport top-up. The voucher basket aligns with the CVA for North-East Nutrition Guideline and includes fresh items from the regional sentinel food list to address dietary gaps.ltbrgtThe SCs will receive referrals from FHI 360-supported Outpatient Therapeutic Programs (OTPs) and other partners, including BoSPHCDB. Mortality audits will be conducted to uphold Sphere standards. FHI 360 will scale up active case findings and IMAM services in OTPs across both LGAs, supplying medical commodities for the treatment of common illnesses associated with SAM, and training health workers on IMAM and Maternal, Infant and Young Child Nutrition (MIYCN). All SAM patients will receive hygiene kits on discharge from treatment.  MIYCN counselling will be delivered at both facility and community levels to support optimal feeding practices.ltbrgtTo foster sustained behavior change, FHI 360 will establish 160 community-based support groups, each comprising 8–15 members, to facilitate Social and Behavior Change Communication (SBCC) on MIYCN. Children aged 6–59 months will receive vitamin A supplementation, micronutrient powders, and deworming. Mothers and caregivers will be trained in family-led MUAC screening to enhance early detection and coverage.ltbrgtFHI 360 proposes to address the health-related underlying causes of Severe Acute Malnutrition. This health-focused initiative complements and strengthens the continuum of care by integrating clinical management of common childhood illnesses that exacerbate the burden of malnutrition.

With funding from the NHF, the IRC will v provide quality care to SAM children with complications at three functional Stabilization Centers in MMC, Jere and Bama. To meet the expected Lean season, increase in cases of malnutrition, IRC will maintain expansion of bed capacity at Bama Stabilization Center (SC) to its maximum of 70 bed capacity and increase capacity at Umaru Shehu SC from 30 to 70 beds. The project will also maintain operations at Mashamari SC, which has a 60-bed capacity, and continue running 16 Outpatient Therapeutic Programs (OTPs) – 3 in Bama, 5 in MMC/Jere, and 8 in Monguno. IRC staff will collaborate with Ministry of Health personnel, community health volunteers (CHVs), Family MUAC groups, and Mother-to-Mother Support Groups (MtMSGs) to screen and refer children for acute malnutrition. A key complementary initiative integrated into this intervention is the empowering of caregivers and mothers whose malnourished children are receiving treatment at the Stabilization centers with short-term financial literacy training and income generation activities, aimed at reducing malnutrition relapses and improving household food security. For the Health component, the intervention will support a total of 12 PHCs across MMC and Jere ( 5) Mongonu (4) and Bama (3), providing essential primary and reproductive health services, including Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI), communicable and non-communicable disease treatment, antenatal/postnatal care (ANC/PNC), immunization, treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), family planning, obstetric/neonatal care, and support for sexual assault survivors. Health system support includes training health workers, supplying essential medicines, ensuring ambulance referral services, and reinforcing supervisory oversight. The IRC will also strengthen community-based surveillance through the use of trained community health workers who will carry out morbidity and mortality surveillance tracking and reporting notifiable diseases. In addition, through ongoing continuous monitoring and analysis of disease trends, endemic diseases such as malaria, acute watery diarrhea arrhea/cholera and measles will be monitored.

The NHF July 2025 Rapid Technical Capacity Mapping identified NNGOs as strong frontline actors with extensive experience across WASH, nutrition, livelihoods, protection, cash and voucher assistance (CVA), and community engagement. However, the assessment also highlighted critical gaps in technical and organization capacities of NNGOs, including in climate adaptation, monitoring, evaluation, accountability and learning (MEAL), compliance, financial oversight, and inclusive programming. These gaps limit their ability to meet NHF requirements, especially in nutrition-sensitive and climate-smart food security programming.ltbrgtUnder the proposed action, MI will address systemic capacity gaps and equip NNGOs with the tools, skills, and oversight required to implement effective and impactful nutrition-sensitive and climate-resilient food security interventions, thereby reducing vulnerability and contributing to resilience in line with the 2025 HNRP. MI brings substantial experience in nutrition-sensitive programming and climate-smart agriculture (CSA) from German Federal Foreign Office and Aktion Deutschland Hilft–funded initiatives, including the introduction of hydroponic fodder systems, solar tent dryers, biochar manure, solar-powered incubators, nutrient-rich crops, small-scale livestock systems, and improved food preparation and preservation practices. Aligned with NHF localisation commitments, MI will provide oversight, quality assurance, and structured capacity strengthening to NNGOs, without direct implementation or sub-granting. MI will lead trainings and technical support of NNGO staff in baseline and endline assessments, CSA and nutrition-sensitive food security, MEAL, compliance and digital reporting, as well as provide guidance on Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP), Protection from Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Harassment (PSEAH), gender equality, and disability inclusion.

Targeting a health facility (HF) in five wards of the LGA to deliver essential services to the vulnerable, especially to women, children, people with disabilities, and hard-to-reach populations through a combination of mobile clinics, community outreach, and supporting existing health facilities. The project follows the Sector-Wide Approach (SWAP), emphasising integrated lifesaving service delivery and the strengthening of community systems for long-term resilience. Community feedback mechanisms, regular monitoring, and local capacity building ensure accountability and sustainability. The project will prioritise primary health care services and mainstream WASH in health facilities and protection. The protection mainstreaming will be through complementarity with the existing GISOR BHA-funded project in Monguno. The proposed action will leverage the existing collaboration with the government and community, including implementing partners, to ensure holistic, high-quality essential service delivery. ltbrgt The health component provides primary healthcare through fixed sites and mobile teams, including disease surveillance, provision of essential drugs and supplies, immunisations, treatment of communicable and non-communicable diseases, mental health referral, and ambulance referrals.

The cumulative impact of these challenges has led to widespread displacement, exacerbating poverty and vulnerability among the affected populations. Furthermore, Nigeria's economic woes have been compounded by alarming inflation rates, with food prices soaring to 40.9% and overall inflation reaching 34.2% as of June 2024, further straining the lives of already beleaguered citizens. Nigeria's economic struggles worsen as the Naira continues its downward spiral against the US dollar, with recent exchange rates hovering around N1,583.73/$1 at the official market and N1617/$1 at the parallel market. This depreciation, coupled with the devastating impact of climate change-induced floods in October 2024, which submerged roughly 1.6 million hectares of farmland, has led to staggering losses. The floods resulted in annual losses of approximately 1.1 million tons of essential crops like maize, sorghum, and rice, translating to nearly $1 billion in losses. The African Development Bank forecasts further depreciation, projecting a 6% decline in the Naira's value by 2025 due to global market volatility. Repeated shocks and crises have eroded livelihoods and diminished the capacity of the most vulnerable to cope. Bama has the 4th largest population of internally displaced persons (IDPs), reaching approximately 47,071 households (158,922 people), and the 6th largest local government area hosting returnees, with 14,111 families (58,743 people). Poor living conditions (44%) and military operations (20%) continue to trigger new arrivals from hard-to-reach locations. Persistent violence across the entire Northeast hinders food availability and access. Borno State has the highest number of food-insecure individuals (facing CH3 or worse conditions) and is at risk of sliding into catastrophic levels of food insecurity during the lean season. Nigeria faces a significant malnutrition crisis, with approximately 5.4 million children requiring urgent preventive and curative services. Bama is classified as IPC-AMN Phase 3 (Serious), and the looming lean season is expected to exacerbate the situation, potentially pushing vulnerable children into Phase 4 levels of malnutrition due to severe food insecurity. Efforts to restore livelihoods and provide durable solutions, including the relocation of internally displaced persons (IDPs) by the state government, are severely underfunded. According to the IOM-led intentions survey (April 2024), most IDPs are reluctant to relocate, citing concerns over hunger, inadequate nutrition, unemployment, poor housing conditions, and limited economic opportunities. Many IDPs face limited options, with durable solutions restricted to either returning to their place of origin or relocating to a new location, further complicating their situation.ltbrgtThe 2025 standard allocation will go a long way for SHI in supporting to reduce the impact of malnutrition as well as reduce the burden of GBV needs across mafa, Borno state, thereby significantly reducing the child mortality rate and protection cases.  ltbrgtlt/pgtSmiling Hearts Initiatives InternationalSmiling Hearts Initiatives InternationalNigeria Humanitarian FundNutritionProtection133760.3826227.52159987.90Nigeria Humanitarian FundSmiling Hearts Initiatives International79993.95Nigeria Humanitarian FundSmiling Hearts Initiatives International79993.95Nigeria Humanitarian FundSmiling Hearts Initiatives InternationalXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-NGA-25-S-NGO-36104United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtThe project seeks to address the critical health needs of vulnerable populations in Damboa Local Government Area (LGA) of Borno State, Nigeria.

Through integrated health interventions, this project will enhance the well-being and resilience of affected individuals, particularly women, girls, and persons with disabilities (PWDs). The project prioritizes a humanitarian-development nexus approach by reinforcing existing health infrastructure and expanding outreach through mobile medical teams, thereby improving the quality and continuum of care.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtThe health intervention will focus on ensuring access to essential services including immunization, antenatal care, treatment of common illnesses, and mental health and psychosocial support strengthening early detection and rapid response to outbreaks, especially cholera, measles, and malaria provision of immediate treatment for SAM and sexual reproductive health.. These will be achieved through a multifaceted approach: Firstly, the project will directly support three (3) existing health facilities in the LGA, ensuring they are adequately equipped with essential medical drugs, supplies, and trained personnel to deliver quality inpatient and outpatient care, including GBV Prevention and Response Services. Secondly, mobile medical teams comprised of nurses, community health extension workers (CHEWs), and community health volunteers (CHVs) will be deployed to remote areas, IDP camps, and other hard-to-reach locations. Thirdly, there will be engagement of the RCCE team, which consists of CHEWs and CHVs, for the purpose of regular and timely health education. These teams will provide primary healthcare services, treatment for minor ailments, reproductive and maternal health services, counseling and psychosocial support, health education, and actively conduct case searches for Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD) and Cholera. The RCCE team will lead efforts in risk communication, disease outbreak prevention, sexual and reproductive health (SRH), PSEA, hygiene and sanitation promotion, and response measures.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtRecognizing the pervasive nature of GBV in conflict-affected settings, the project will integrate GBV prevention and response strategies across all activities.

The project aims to reach 10,600 individuals, prioritizing the most vulnerable populations (especially women and children) in three LGAs identified by the Nutrition Sector’s 2025 Multi-Risk Nutrition Emergency Response Preparedness (ERP) Plan as having the highest projected burden of acute malnutrition during the lean season. To ensure sustainability, all nutrition services will be delivered through existing government health facilities. Drawing on LABDI’s extensive experience in Nutrition, WASH, Protection, and Education, the intervention adopts an integrated approach that addresses both the immediate and structural drivers of malnutrition. The project combines the Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition (IMAM) strategy with protection and livelihoods support to holistically respond to the nutrition crisis. Its core components include IMAM, Maternal, Infant, and Young Child Nutrition (MIYCN) counselling, Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) awareness, as well as Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA). ltbrgtThrough these components, LABDI will deliver high-quality preventive and curative services while building household and community resilience. Specifically, the IMAM component will establish five Outpatient Therapeutic Programs (OTPs) across Gubio LGA in Borno State as well as Yusufari and Yunusari LGAs respectively in Yobe State to support the early identification and treatment of severe and moderate acute malnutrition in children under five. MIYCN counselling will empower PBWG and caregivers with knowledge on optimal feeding practices, including exclusive breastfeeding and dietary diversity, aimed at preventing malnutrition. To address immediate nutritional needs, 3,000 severely malnourished children without complications will receive Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Foods (RUTF), while 1,500 moderately malnourished children and 300 PBWG will benefit from supplementary feeding. Recognizing the link between nutrition and protection, the project will also conduct GBV and PSEA awareness sessions supported by functional referral systems to ensure survivors receive timely, appropriate care. In addition, CVA will be implemented to provide targeted cash transfers to vulnerable households, increasing their access to nutritious food and supporting adherence to treatment regimens. LABDI partners will work in close collaboration with local health authorities, community leaders, and other stakeholders, and will train twelve health workers and 60 community volunteers to ensure effective delivery of services. By integrating nutrition, protection, and livelihoods, the project addresses the root causes of vulnerability and aligns with the National Multisectoral Plan of Action for Food and Nutrition as well as the Sustainable Development Goals. A comprehensive monitoring and evaluation framework will guide implementation and ensure accountability.ltbrgtTo ensure effective delivery and sustainability, LABDI will strengthen partner capacity through tailored trainings, mentorship, tools, coordination with government systems, and improved data use—enhancing service quality, local ownership, and long-term impact across the three target LGAs.lt/pgtLife at Best Development InitiativeLife at Best Development InitiativePROTECTION WITHOUT BORDERS LEAGUENigeria Humanitarian FundNutrition239344.2660655.74300000.00Nigeria Humanitarian FundLife at Best Development Initiative300000.00Nigeria Humanitarian FundLife at Best Development InitiativeXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-NGA-25-S-NGO-36118United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtltbrgtThis project targets vulnerable communities in Maiduguri Metropolitan Council (MMC) and Jere Local Government Areas of Borno state, which are severely affected by acute malnutrition.

In Damboa LGA, where GBVS conducted a WASH–Nutrition Needs Assessment in June 2025, the convergence of unsafe water, inadequate sanitation, and low hygiene coverage is directly worsening nutrition outcomes. The assessment revealed 85 SAM admissions within three months, 80% of caregivers relying on unsafe water, a latrine-to-user ratio of 1:150, and fewer than 30% of households receiving hygiene kits. These gaps heighten diarrhoeal disease transmission, delay SAM recovery, and increase child mortality. Findings were presented and validated at the June 2025 Damboa LCG, confirming GBVS’s operational presence and recognized coordination role (Minutes prepared by UNOCHA and assessment report/Damboa Service Mapping are attached to this proposal).lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtThis 6-month project aims to provide lifesaving WASH services to 9,000 conflict-affected IDPs, returnees host community in Damboa LGA.

In remote and hard to reach locations, outreach and or mobile services will be provided for nutrition and health interventions.ltbrgtAdditionally, PLWs who suffer acute malnutrition will benefit from supplementary nutrition assistance using Tom Browns. Community based promotion of maternal, infant, and young child nutrition - MIYCN will be integrated into the nutrition service package both at community and facility level, to ensure that prevention services are integral component of service delivery. CDHI will utilize context specific socio-behavioral change (SBCC) intervention approaches to integrate and promote hygiene, key positive household practices and gender transformation and inclusion in the communities. Consumption of locally available nutrition dense food will be promoted through cooking demonstrations during peer mother support group activities.ltbrgtEarly identification of malnutrition will be strengthened through active case finding and referrals. Care-givers and members of the communities will have their capacity strengthened on family MUAC to ensure community accountability in monitoring of nutrition status of children. CDHI will facilitate strengthening the capacity of community structures including health workers, community volunteers, and lead mothers to ensure strong linkages between both the preventive and the treatment services. Children identified with complicated SAM will be supported with transportation services to ensure timely referral to SC quick and appropriate care.ltbrgtSystem strengthening is a central focus.

This integrated approach not only addresses the immediate needs of IDPs, returnees, and host communities but also strengthens local systems and builds resilience. Integrating these Sectors assures a cost effective and quality programming that serve beneficiaries (Programme participants) most effectively and efficiently. lt/pgtltpgtThe health component is focused on providing high-quality primary healthcare services and strengthening the health system’s emergency response capacity. This will be achieved by establishing an integrated Health facility-based response that will serve as a central point of collaboration for all three sectors. By bringing together health, nutrition, and WASH teams, the project will optimize the ability to track and manage potential outbreaks. At these facilities, coordinated line listing, infection tracing, and surveillance will allow for a faster and more effective response to infectious disease outbreaks like cholera and measles. Beyond this integrated surveillance, the project aims to reach over 10,748 people with an essential life-saving package of health services within IDP camps and provide over 1,250 births attended by skilled health personnel. The initiative will also provide over 120 mental health consultations and a comprehensive package of services for common illnesses, antenatal and postnatal care, skilled birth attendance, and routine immunizations.ltbrgtWithin this integrated framework, the nutrition component will combat acute malnutrition through both preventive and curative interventions, targeting children under five and vulnerable groups. The project will facilitate the early identification, referral, and treatment of over 412 children with Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) and over 1,031 children with Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) through OTPs and TSFPs. Concurrently, preventative services will be strengthened by promoting optimal Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) practices and providing essential micronutrient supplementation. Finally, the WASH component is integral to preventing waterborne diseases and improving overall community health and dignity. The project will ensure safe and equitable access to water for over 21,000 people through the repair and OM of 14 boreholes and the chlorination and maintenance of 14 functioning boreholes in key IDP camps. To improve sanitation, it will rehabilitate 120 communal facilities equipped with gender-segregated latrine and shower blocks, benefiting over 24,000 people. To foster behavior change and mitigate disease spread, the project will implement hygiene promotion campaigns to reach over 4,066 individuals and facilitate the distribution of over 2,115 WASH kits, ensuring access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene. In leveraging resources across sectors to maximize impact and achieve cost-effectiveness, Community Nutrition Mobilizers (CNMs) will be cross-trained and utilized to support WASH activities by conducting hygiene and risk communication messaging in communities. The project will priorities sustainability and inclusion, with the training of WASH committees (WASHCOMs) for community-led maintenance and the integration of protection measures to mitigate PSEA and GBV risks.ltbrgtThe project aspires to lay a foundation for sustainable integrated services that uphold human dignity and contribute to long-term recovery and stability in Dikwa and Gwoza (Pulka) LGA, in the face of dwindling funding and uncertainties in the humanitarian response sphere.lt/pgtLINDII PEACE FOUNDATIONLINDII PEACE FOUNDATIONGodiya Cherished Care for Humanitarian Response InitiativeNigeria Humanitarian FundHealthNutritionWater, Sanitation and Hygiene68936.17231063.83300000.00Nigeria Humanitarian FundLINDII PEACE FOUNDATION150000.00Nigeria Humanitarian FundLINDII PEACE FOUNDATIONXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-NGA-25-S-NGO-37361United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtThe ‘strengthening of preventive nutrition services for the most vulnerable groups in Gujba LGA, Yobe state’ project seeks to improve the well-being of vulnerable populations by increasing access to quality nutrition services while building community resilience and reinforcing local systems for sustainable impact.

Borno State, is facing a deepening humanitarian crisis where conflict, displacement, economic shocks, and climate disasters converge to drive food insecurity, malnutrition, and dire WASH needs. The March 2025 Cadre Harmonisé projects that 4.6 million people in the BAY states will face crisis or emergency food insecurity during the lean season, while 2.6 million children under five will suffer acute malnutrition, including 1 million at risk of SAM. In Borno, GAM prevalence stands at 15.7% (critical), exceeding WHO’s “very high” threshold, with poor child feeding, low immunization, and frequent disease outbreaks compounding risks. ltbrgtThis nutritional collapse is also propelled by a critical WASH crisis. Recent assessments indicate that 4.4 million people in the northeast are in dire need of WASH assistance (OCHA, 2024), with over 1.6 million Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Borno state alone lacking access to safe water and adequate sanitation (UNICEF, 2024). This infrastructure deficit is a primary driver of illness, with the prevalence of diarrhea in children under five exceeding 30% in high-risk areas (WASH Sector, 2024). recent assessments also show that 73.5% of households lack daily safe water access, 85% lack adequate sanitation, and 82% lack soap, leaving communities vulnerable to cholera and other waterborne diseases. Despite some state and partner interventions such as solar-powered boreholes gaps remain immense, particularly in LGAs like Mafa, Dikwa, and Bama, which host large displaced populations. Macro-economic shocks, including rampant inflation and climate-induced floods that destroyed vast swathes of farmland, have further crippled household resilience. Persistent violence continues to hinder both agricultural activity and humanitarian access, leaving communities isolated and without support. ltbrgtAgainst this backdrop, Smiling Heart Initiative (SHI) in consortium with Pinnacle of Aid Relief Organization (P-Aid), Center for Child Care and Human Development (C3HD)  and New Foundation for Displaced Persons (NFDP) seeks donor support to scale up integrated Health, Nutrition and WASH interventions in Jere, Dikwa in Borno and Nguru and Gujba LGA in Yobe state, combining lifesaving malnutrition treatment ranging from active case search, Outpatient Therapeutic Prgramme, (OTP) Tom Brown programme, and Maternal Infant and Young Child Nutrition (MIYCN) Intervention, with essential health interventions and emergency water supply, climate-smart sanitation, hygiene promotion, and mainstreaming protection services, to reduce child mortality, curb disease outbreaks, and strengthen resilience in the face of escalating crises.ltbrgtlt/pgtSmiling Hearts Initiatives InternationalSmiling Hearts Initiatives InternationalCenter for Child Care and Human Development (C3HD)New foundation for Displaced personsPinnacle of Aid amp; Relief OrganizationNigeria Humanitarian FundHealthNutritionWater, Sanitation and Hygiene71809.34296404.53368213.87Nigeria Humanitarian FundSmiling Hearts Initiatives International180424.80Nigeria Humanitarian FundSmiling Hearts Initiatives International187789.07Nigeria Humanitarian FundSmiling Hearts Initiatives InternationalXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-NGA-25-S-NGO-37375United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtCOCOSOHDI in partnership with SWOGE is proposing a 6-month lifesaving health and protection project aimed at reducing morbidity and mortality among crisis-affected populations in Yobe and Adamawa States.

The project will rehabilitate and solarize 6 non-functional water points, restoring safe water access for at least 9,000 people. Rehabilitated facilities will incorporate ramps, lighting, and drainage systems to ensure safety, privacy, and accessibility for women, children, and persons with disabilities. To sustain impact, six WASH committees (with at least 30% female membership) will be trained in water system operation, maintenance, and quality monitoring. In parallel, 1,160 WASH NFI kits—including buckets, jerry cans, soap, and purification tablets—will be distributed to vulnerable households, while hygiene promotion campaigns will reach 9,000 individuals with key messages on handwashing, menstrual hygiene management, safe water handling, and cholera prevention.ltbrgtProtection is mainstreamed throughout the project to ensure that all interventions uphold safety, dignity, and inclusion. Under Nutrition, caregivers will receive sensitization on safeguarding and PSEA, while WASH infrastructure will be designed to reduce exposure to GBV risks.

All nutrition services will be delivered through existing government health facilities and community structures to ensure sustainability.ltbrgtDrawing on POWIB’s extensive experience in Nutrition, Protection, and Cash-based programming, the intervention adopts an integrated approach that tackles both the immediate and structural drivers of malnutrition. It combines the Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition (IMAM) with Maternal, Infant and Young Child Nutrition (MIYCN) counselling, Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) awareness, and Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA) to holistically respond to the nutrition crisis.ltbrgtPOWIB (Lead Partner) will implement the curative nutrition component across Bama, Dikwa, and Monguno LGAs, establishing and supporting Outpatient Therapeutic Programme (OTP) sites to ensure early identification and treatment of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) and Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) among children under five, as well as treatment of Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women and Girls (PBWG) with acute malnutrition. At least 2,100 children with SAM will receive Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Foods (RUTF), while 1,050 children with MAM and 215 PBWG will benefit from supplementary feeding. CVA will enable vulnerable households to sustain adherence to treatment and maintain dietary diversity.ltbrgtIn addition, POWIB will lead the preventive nutrition component in Monguno LGA, delivering MIYCN counselling, cooking demonstrations, IYCF support groups, and hygiene promotion integrated with protection messaging and GBV/PSEA awareness.ltbrgtGodiya Cherished Care for Humanitarian Response Initiative (GCCHRI) will serve as the sole sub-grantee, implementing the preventive nutrition component in Bama and Dikwa LGAs. GCCHRI will conduct MIYCN counselling, establish and mentor Mother-to-Mother and Father-to-Father Support Groups, organize cooking demonstrations, promote hygiene practices, and integrate GBV/PSEA sensitization and referral systems to strengthen community protection mechanisms.ltbrgtThe consortium will collaborate closely with the Borno State Primary Health Care Development Agency (BSPHCDA), community leaders, and sector partners to ensure coordination, referrals, and sustainability. At least 60 health workers and community nutrition mobilizers will be trained and mentored across the three LGAs to strengthen service delivery and local ownership.ltbrgtBy integrating curative nutrition, preventive care, protection mainstreaming, and cash assistance, the project simultaneously addresses lifesaving needs and the underlying vulnerabilities driving malnutrition. It aligns with the Nutrition Sector priorities, the National Multisectoral Plan of Action for Food and Nutrition, and contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals. To ensure effective delivery and sustainability, POWIB will continue to strengthen partner capacity through tailored training, mentorship, provision of tools, joint coordination with government systems, and improved data use—enhancing service quality, localization, and long-term impact across Bama, Dikwa, and Monguno LGAs.ltbrgtlt/pgtProtection Without Borders LeagueProtection Without Borders LeagueGodiya Cherished Care for Humanitarian Response InitiativeNigeria Humanitarian FundNutrition47414.77132585.74180000.51Nigeria Humanitarian FundProtection Without Borders League180000.51Nigeria Humanitarian FundProtection Without Borders LeagueXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-NGA-25-S-NGO-37420United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtltbrgtThis project aims to deliver an integrated and comprehensive package of lifesaving health, nutrition interventions targeting 27,000 vulnerable individuals in Dikwa, Borno State and 12,000 in Madagali, Adamawa State during the 2025 lean season. HARAF and SRF will jointly deliver interventions targeting 15,000 individuals with health, 12,000 with nutrition. HARAF is coordinating all the activities through the sub-IP. Through the strengthening of one health facilities, deployment of two mobile medical teams and two RCCE team for the purpose of sensitization and awraenesss creation.  the initiative will reduce preventable morbidity and mortality among children under five, pregnant and lactating women (PLW), and other at-risk groups. The project combines outpatient consultations, maternal and reproductive health services, nutrition screening and treatment, cholera/malaria surveillance, and risk communication to ensure equitable access for populations in hard-to-reach and underserved areas. In Dikwa, humanitarian needs have sharply escalated following the September 2024 Alau Dam collapse, which flooded vast areas, destroyed farmland, displaced households, and damaged health infrastructure. Over 350,000 people were displaced across Borno due to flooding, compounding the impact of conflict and displacement on already fragile health systems. At the same time, the withdrawal of USAID nutrition support in early 2025 left over 400,000 displaced people without critical health and nutrition services, with INTERSOS, the only remaining provider scaling down operations despite surging needs. Outbreaks of cholera, malaria, and diarrheal disease remain high risks due to overcrowding and poor WASH conditions, while SRH service availability is severely constrained. In Madagali, displacement from conflict, compounded by seasonal food insecurity, continues to strain overstretched health and nutrition systems. The 2024 Sectoral Needs and Risk Analysis (SNRA) highlighted Madagali as one of the LGAs with high vulnerability due to malnutrition, limited access to safe water, and health service gaps. Children under five and PLW face increasing risks of acute malnutrition with BAY states projected to see 2.6 million acutely malnourished children in 2025, including 1 million SAM cases. Nutrition interventions in Madagali will therefore focus on community-level screening, SAM/MAM treatment, and MIYCN counselling, alongside hygiene and feeding education. By combining facility-based care with mobile outreach, this project ensures a continuum of services that directly align with NHF SA2 2025 priorities: lifesaving health and nutrition interventions, early detection and outbreak response, and community-centered service delivery. The intervention integrates Protection Mainstreaming, AAP, gender equality, disability inclusion, and PSEA measures throughout, ensuring accountability and safety for affected populations while strengthening resilience during the lean season. ltbrgtConclusively, it is a mandate from HARAF and the subIP to coordinate and work with the BSPHCDA go strengthen the linkages of the state health systems to support sustainability by doing the following:ltbrgtAdaptation of the state data tools for monthly reporting.ltbrgtCapacity building of facility staffs before the commencement of the project as well as on the job training and support.ltbrgtWorking along side the LGA level coordination team and other partners.ltbrgtSupport the joint monitoring and supervision quarterly to all sites of working.ltbrgtlt/pgtHope And Rural Aid FoundationHope And Rural Aid FoundationSorasun Foundation Nigeria Humanitarian FundHealthNutrition74998.64174996.84249995.48Nigeria Humanitarian FundHope And Rural Aid Foundation249995.48Nigeria Humanitarian FundHope And Rural Aid FoundationXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-NGA-25-S-NGO-37424United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtUnprecedented rainfall events, a consequence of the climate crisis, have escalated water-related diseases, notably cholera, and acute diarrhea.

These figures highlight the scale and diversity of protection risks facing children, underscoring the need for a comprehensive, multisectoral response.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtThe humanitarian crisis in northeast Nigeria remains critical, with conflict, displacement, and food insecurity converging to heighten risks for children. The 2025 HRP identifies 7.8 million people in need across the BAY states, including 1.9 million children requiring urgent child protection services. The 2025 HNO highlights widespread family separation, child marriage, child labor, psychosocial distress, and exclusion of children with disabilities as urgent protection concerns.ltbrgtThe 2025 Lean Season Plan projects 31 million Nigerians acutely food insecure, including 4.6 million in BAY states. In Borno alone, 300,000 children are projected to suffer from SAM, with up to 150 nutrition facilities at risk of closure due to funding shortfalls. Food insecurity directly increases child protection risks, as families adopt harmful coping strategies such as child labor, early marriage, or relinquishing children into unsafe arrangements.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtMonguno LGA, on the northern Borno frontline, is among the most affected.

Conflict, climate shocks, and economic instability have displaced large populations, eroded livelihoods, disrupted access to basic services, and heightened protection risks. In Madagali LGA, insecurity has restricted agricultural activity and access to farmland, while rising food prices and declining purchasing power have worsened food insecurity and malnutrition. Households are forced into harmful coping strategies, including unsafe livelihood-seeking and child marriage. Women, girls, and persons with disabilities are disproportionately affected, facing increased risks in overstretched protection systems. ltbrgtThe selected LGAs have the highest concentrations of populations in CH Phases 3–5 based on the October 2025 Cadre Harmonisé and are projected to remain among the most affected in 2026. Declining humanitarian funding further limits partners’ ability to deliver timely assistance. In response, NRM will focus on strengthening community resilience, enhancing protection for vulnerable groups, and advancing disability inclusion through locally led, integrated interventions.ltbrgtThe BRIDGE Project seeks to strengthen community-based protection mechanisms for women, children, and persons with disabilities in Madagali LGA, building resilient, empowered communities capable of identifying, responding to, and preventing protection risks. Aligned with cluster objectives, the project leverages local knowledge, structures, and solutions to foster sustainable change.ltbrgtKey activities include establishing and reinforcing community mechanisms that enable all members, including persons with disabilities, to identify protection concerns, advocate for appropriate responses, and access legal and social support. Legal counselling services will provide vulnerable individuals with access to justice and protection from abuse, exploitation, and gender-based violence (GBV). NRM will train community members, including traditional leaders, women’s groups, youth associations, and disability networks, on GBV prevention, protection principles, and community monitoring, empowering communities to act as first responders to protection issues.ltbrgtParticipatory approaches are central, engaging community members in mapping risks, designing locally tailored solutions, and monitoring outcomes. Regular dialogues between communities and government authorities will enhance collaboration, accountability, and ownership of protection efforts.ltbrgtThe project incorporates innovative, locally driven strategies, including peer-led awareness campaigns, community protection committees, and local advocacy platforms. These mechanisms amplify community voices, encourage reporting of protection incidents, and strengthen community-led solutions. Emphasis is placed on translating knowledge into tangible actions, enabling communities, including marginalized groups, to independently address protection concerns while maintaining links with governmental and humanitarian actors for technical and policy support.ltbrgtOver an 8-month period, NRM seeks USD 250,000 to implement the BRIDGE Project in Madagali LGA.

Across Northeast Nigeria, Persons with disabilities continue to face systemic exclusion from humanitarian and development assistance due to physical inaccessibility, stigma, limited assistive devices, weak referral pathways, and under-resourced community structures. The 2025 HNO and HNRP confirm that Persons with disabilities have significantly lower access to essential services, including health, rehabilitation, PSS, social services, and protection, and remain among the most marginalized groups in the BAY states. The number of Persons with disabilities is steadily rising due to demographic trends and increased chronic health conditions, and most people will experience some form of disability at some point in life. Although Nigeria has taken important steps, such as the 2019 ratification of the Discrimination Against Persons with Disabilities (Prohibition) Act and the domestication of disability laws in nine states including Yobe, implementation remains weak. The Nigeria Rapid Assessment on Disability Inclusion highlights persistent barriers, including discriminatory attitudes, harmful beliefs, and widespread stigma that manifest in rejection, neglect, and reduced self-worth. These social attitudes, combined with structural and environmental barriers, further limit access to education, health care, public transport, and social protection systems.ltbrgtThe proposed Action will strengthen disability-inclusive service access through digital and offline accessibility and navigation tools, functional referral and case management systems, expanded access to medical, rehabilitation, and protection services, and inclusive complaints and safeguarding mechanisms. It will also enhance the wellbeing and resilience of persons with disabilities through skills-building, assistive device provision and repair, and community-based PSS, while reinforcing state and community systems through coordination platforms, leadership engagement, and inclusive community initiatives. CENSCOPE’s decade-long presence in the BAY states, and proven expertise in EO victim assistance, disability inclusion, and protection programming supported by ECHO, FCDO, USAID, UNOPS, UNICEF, UNMAS, UNDP and other relevant partners position it to deliver a high-quality, community-led, and accountable intervention.ltbrgtlt/pgtCentre for Social Cohesion Peace and EmpowermentCentre for Social Cohesion Peace and EmpowermentNigeria Humanitarian FundProtection250000.00250000.00Nigeria Humanitarian FundCentre for Social Cohesion Peace and Empowerment250000.00Nigeria Humanitarian FundCentre for Social Cohesion Peace and EmpowermentXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-NGA-25-S-NGO-38244United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtThe 3rd Lean Season Allocation adopts a comprehensive approach to enhance disability inclusion, protection, participation, and access for people with disabilities (PWDs) and other vulnerable groups facing food security, nutrition and protection risks in Jere (Borno) and Madagali (Adamawa).ltbrgtBuilding on CDHI’s previous climate-smart agriculture initiatives implemented in collaboration with CAID and WFP, this project supports the sustainability of NHF-backed programs and complements the Second Lean Season Allocation, ensuring continuity and scalability of protection and food security outcomes.ltbrgtCDHI will facilitate the Strengthening of Community Economic Resilience (SCER) through Inclusive, Innovative, and Climate-Smart Nutrition Sensitive Food System Interventions in Jere LGA of Borno state.

They face heightened exposure to trauma, chronic health conditions, and daily mobility and communication barriers. Humanitarian services in Borno continue to fall short of addressing their distinct needs. The NHF 2025 Third Standard Allocation Strategy highlights persistent structural and institutional barriers such as inaccessible facilities, shortages of assistive devices, limited staff capacity, weak referral pathways, and minimal participation of OPDs that consistently deny Persons with disabilities  equitable access to life-saving assistance. As a result, Persons with disabilities are too often unable to safely participate in community processes or exercise their rights with dignity.ltbrgtIn response, HALI proposes a transformative, locally led disability inclusive intervention across Maiduguri and Jere LGAs in Borno State. Within 10 months, the project will strengthen access, inclusion, protection, and participation for person with disabilities through a comprehensive package of assistive technology provision, facility accessibility upgrades, inclusive service delivery, structured community engagement, and sustained capacity building of humanitarian actors.ltbrgtThe project will provide essential assistive devices including wheelchairs, crutches, walkers, hearing aids, white canes, and communication boards to 305 persons with physical, earring and visual disabilities which will significantly improving mobility, communication, independence, and access to critical services. In parallel, 9 humanitarian service points will undergo accessibility enhancements, including ramps, rails, adapted signage, and inclusive waiting spaces. These improvements will remove physical barriers that currently prevent Persons with disabilities from safely accessing health and protection services.ltbrgtTo promote disability inclusive action across sectors, this project will advocacy for the domestication of the disability right law for qualitative project sustainability, strengthen referral pathways and enhance frontline staff capacity to deliver inclusive services. Community engagement will be deepened through the establishment of accessible feedback and complaints mechanisms, such as disability sensitive help desks and sign-language support and monthly feedback meetings. The project will also produce inclusive communication materials in braille, large print, audio formats, and pictorial designs to ensure persons with disabilities can access timely, life saving information without barriers.ltbrgtA major focus of the intervention is building sustainable local leadership. A total of 150 frontline government MDA staff and humanitarian staff will be trained on disability inclusion, disability inclusive data collation, AAP, PSEAH and effective communication with person with disabilities. Also the project will mentor 5 OPDs from the DWG for 5 months, empowering them to conduct inclusion audits, participate actively in coordination platforms, and lead grassroots advocacy. Special attention will be directed to persons affected by leprosy in the Molae community of Jere LGA, a group identified by the DWG (2024) as facing some of the most severe stigma, discrimination, and health access challenges among all disability subgroups.ltbrgtTo address urgent medical and livelihood needs, the project will provide cash and voucher assistance (CVA) to 107 persons affected by leprosy, enabling them to access transportation, medical treatment, and essential livelihood support. Additionally, 200 doses of Multi-Drug Therapy (MDT) will be administered to curb the concerning rise in new leprosy infections among recent arrivals in the community. Comprehensive monitoring including baseline, midline, endline, and person with disabilities will ensure adaptive learning, quality assurance, and full accountability to affected population.ltbrgtlt/pgtHallmark Leadership InitiativeHallmark Leadership InitiativeNigeria Humanitarian FundProtection249999.62249999.62Nigeria Humanitarian FundHallmark Leadership Initiative249999.62Nigeria Humanitarian FundHallmark Leadership InitiativeXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-NGA-25-S-NGO-38263United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtltspangtCommunities in Jere and Fune LGAs continue to face persistent protection risks driven by protracted conflict, climate shocks, food insecurity, and a weakened social support environment.

Madagali continues to host displaced households living in informal settlements and congested host communities where protection risks including GBV, child protection concerns, exploitation, unsafe site layouts, inadequate lighting, and limited access to essential household items remain severe. Building on SA3 Envelope 2 priorities, the project delivers a coordinated, multi-sector response that improves the protective environment while ensuring equitable access to life-saving services for women, girls, men, children, older persons, and persons with disabilities (PWDs).ltbrgtProtection interventions will strengthen GBV prevention and response through survivor-centered case management, psychosocial support, legal aid, safety planning, and safe, confidential spaces. Child protection will be supported through child-friendly spaces, psychosocial support, referrals, and family tracing and reunification. Community-based protection will be enhanced by training community structures to identify risks, make referrals, and engage in protection planning. PSEAH will be reinforced through community awareness, confidential reporting pathways, frontline worker training, and collaboration with the Nigeria PSEAH Network. CCCM support will improve site governance, accountability, and safety through inclusive camp committees, stronger information management, and community engagement. Priority site improvements including better lighting, safer access routes, and safer NFI distribution systems will reduce protection risks and support community structures responsible for coordination and feedback, Cash Voucher Assistance (CVA) will address acute protection needs among IDPs, host community members, women, and youth-headed households, especially those caring for malnourished children with no means of livelihood or stressed livelihoods. The support will enable vulnerable households to quickly access essential goods and key protection services such as healthcare, nutritious food, and transportation for referrals. By easing immediate financial pressures, the assistance will reduce negative coping mechanisms, strengthen coping capacity, and enhance dignity and decision-making. Overall, CVA will improve the safety and well-being of both displaced and host community populations experiencing acute vulnerabilities. These interventions will improve access to services, strengthen information flow, and promote safer living conditions for displaced households. Feedback and accountability systems community meetings, suggestion boxes, and hotlines will enable meaningful participation and safe complaint reporting. Dignified NFI assistance will address urgent needs for newly displaced persons, female-headed households, older persons, and households with PWDs. Targeted distribution of core items such as mats, blankets, solar lamps, dignity kits, and essential household supplies will reduce health and protection risks while promoting dignity and resilience. NFI support will follow transparent vulnerability criteria and PSEA-compliant processes.

The project will indirectly reach an estimated 65,200 community members through a multi-sectoral, community-driven approach promoting equitable access to protection, health, education, water, sanitation and hygiene, and other essential services.ltbrgtThe intervention responds to the 2025 Nigerian Humanitarian Fund Priority Envelope on Disability Inclusion by addressing systemic exclusion, environmental and physical barriers, weak disability-disaggregated data, and discriminatory attitudes that marginalize persons with disabilities in humanitarian settings.ltbrgtBuilding on Protection Without Borders’ experience in disability programming, protection outreach, community engagement, and case management, the project applies a rights-based approach to reduce physical, social, and institutional barriers while promoting participation, resilience, and safety. The intervention integrates disability identification, inclusive access to services, accessibility improvements, community engagement, and capacity strengthening, supported by strong monitoring, accountability, learning, and coordination systems.ltbrgtStandardized disability identification questions will be applied across all identification processes to strengthen disability-disaggregated data and guide referrals. Inclusive service delivery will be supported through mobile outreach, home-based follow-up for individuals with mobility limitations, strengthened referral pathways, and accessible information channels, with a focus on women and girls with disabilities through safe referrals and gender-based violence risk mitigation.ltbrgtThe project will provide assistive and mobility devices, including wheelchairs, crutches, white canes, tricycles, hearing devices, and communication boards, alongside small-scale accessibility upgrades such as ramps, handrails, widened entrances, tactile indicators, and accessible water and sanitation facilities. Community Disability Inclusion Committees will lead stigma-reduction initiatives, facilitate community feedback, and support meaningful participation in local governance and humanitarian planning through accessible complaint and feedback mechanisms.ltbrgtFor sustainability, the project will train 150 frontline workers and community actors, including health personnel, teachers, humanitarian responders, community leaders, volunteers, and government staff, on disability-inclusive communication, accessible service delivery, protection mainstreaming, gender-based violence mitigation, inclusive security, and safeguarding. Institutional support will be provided to the Yobe State Commission for Persons with Disabilities, alongside advocacy for disability rights implementation and strengthened coordination across key humanitarian sectors.ltbrgtAligned with the Inter-Agency Standing Committee Guidelines on the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Humanitarian Action, the Humanitarian Inclusion Standards, and the 2025 Nigerian Humanitarian Fund requirements, the project embeds a strong monitoring, evaluation, accountability, and learning framework to advance inclusive, dignified, and sustainable humanitarian outcomes in Fune Local Government Area.lt/pgtProtection Without Borders LeagueProtection Without Borders LeagueNigeria Humanitarian FundHealthProtection250000.74250000.74Nigeria Humanitarian FundProtection Without Borders League250000.74Nigeria Humanitarian FundProtection Without Borders LeagueXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-NGA-25-S-O-38270United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtThe Community Resilience through Early Action Messaging (CREAM) project is a targeted $100,000, 8-month intervention meticulously designed to address the intersection of climate volatility and food insecurity in the Maiduguri and Jere LGAs of Borno State. In an environment where over 5.8 million people are projected to face severe hunger (CH Phase 3+), this project functions as a critical "information-as-aid" layer that strengthens the efficacy of the broader Food Security Sector (FSS). The project moves beyond traditional weather alerts by focusing on Food Security Risk Communication—the process of translating complex climate, market, and crop data into localized, technical advisories that enable households to protect their livelihoods before disaster strikes.ltbrgtThe core strategy revolves around a robust Messaging Lifecycle. This begins with technical validation workshops where food security experts, agronomists, and climate scientists simplify complex data into "household-ready" instructions. These advisories focus on practical, protective behaviors such as early harvest techniques to avoid flood loss, humidity-controlled grain storage to prevent post-harvest spoilage, and climate-adjusted planting schedules. By operationalizing these messages through a multi-channel dissemination network—including local radio (Kanuri and Hausa), mobile SMS alerts, and public awareness campaigns—the project ensures that life-saving information reaches the "last mile."ltbrgtTo ensure deep community penetration, the project leverages the Nigerian Red Cross Society’s (NRCS) extensive volunteer base to conduct direct house-to-house (H2H) sensitization. This personal engagement is vital for addressing the needs of non-literate populations and marginalized groups, ensuring that the 250,000 target beneficiaries do not just receive a message, but fully comprehend the technical actions required to safeguard their food stocks. The establishment of Community Resilience Committees ensures that this communication flow is locally owned and sustainable.ltbrgtFurthermore, the project is built on the foundation of Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP). Through toll-free lines and community help desks, the project gathers real-time feedback to refine and adapt messaging based on community needs. This ensures that the intervention remains responsive to the evolving food security landscape. By focusing exclusively on the communication layer, CREAM provides a high-impact, low-cost force multiplier that protects the physical assets and dietary intake of vulnerable households, directly supporting the NHF’s mandate to integrate climate adaptation into the heart of food security programming. This approach transforms passive recipients of climate data into active, informed managers of their own food security and resilience.ltbrgtlt/pgtNigerian Red Cross SocietyNigerian Red Cross SocietyNigeria Humanitarian FundFood Security100000.63100000.63Nigeria Humanitarian FundNigerian Red Cross Society50000.31Nigeria Humanitarian FundNigerian Red Cross Society50000.32Nigeria Humanitarian FundNigerian Red Cross Society
