and will be going around having meetings with key partners and government agencies.
The high-level mission will be looking at ways to upscale WFP operations.

not participate in this mission but ICRC did.

Save The Children
 SCI is currently implementing three food interventions in Jere, Mafa and MMC LGAs. Its
ECHO project has reached 1,000 HHs, another project initially targeting 5,000 HHs has
been reviewed upwards to target 9,000 HHs.
 SCI is interested in working with partners in these three LGAs to avoid duplications.
IRC
 IRC is targeting 32,000 individuals in Konduga LGA.
 IRC recently concluded an assessment in 4 communities in Konduga LGA
Challenges
 IRC is currently advocating with its donors to use more of cash interventions rather than
in-kind food distributions, this is due to the wider spread that CBTs achieve, the drawback
being the nature/level of market functioning in the targeted communities or LGA.
 Currently IRC is targeting 2,400 HHs for cash transfers in MMC and Jere, it has concluded
post distribution analysis of its completed projects.
NRC
 NRC is implementing an intervention to reach 1,070 HHs with in-kind food and IGA skills
in Jere, Galtimari, Fori. 500HHs each will be given in kind food while the other 570 HHs
will be given seeds of vegetables including Sorel, Amaranthus, Cabbage and Onions, and
fertilizer. This intervention will last for 4 months.
JNI
 The in-kind food distribution in collaboration with FAO is ongoing. 473 HHs are targeted
in Bolori 1 and Maisandari in MMC. 477 HHs are targeted in Old Maiduguri and Maisamari
in Jere LGA.
 The distributions for October will take place in the 2nd week of October.
Challenges
More people are pleading for food assistance, as there remains serious food security challenges
in the host communities.
NEMA
 NEMA in partnership with Borno SEMA is providing food to IDP camps and vulnerable
people in MMC, Bama, Gwoza, Dikwa, Ngala etc.

Next meeting

NEMA is planning to distribute return packages for returnees. This package will include
food and non-food items to sustain the returnees until they are able to commence basic
livelihood activities including farming.
 The SGR has allocated 117 trucks of grain to Borno state, but so far only 70 trucks have
been released
CHALLENGES
 Many communities have still not received food support from either the government or
humanitarian partners.
 Many partners are not using IOM’s data which is generated in partnership with NEMA,
some partners are using their own independently generated data or data from other
sources.
 Partners should endeavour to use IOM’s data in order to avoid data conflicts arising from
using data from different sources that cannot be verified. This has caused a situation
whereby registered IDPs who have been given tokens for easier identification are not
receiving assistance while those that are unregistered are receiving assistance.
ACF
 ACF is implementing FSL activities in MMC, Jere, and Monguno. New grants have been
received from OFDA and CIDA for IGA, market gardening activities, seeds, and agro inputs.
2,700 HHs will be reached in Jere and MMC for the CIDA grant.
 In Mongonu, 3,000HHs will be reached with food for 10 months, a market assessment is
being planned to understand the level of market function in order to move from in-kind
food distributions to cash transfers.
Empower54
 Empower54 is working in collaboration with local NGOs to provide aid to persons living with
disability, and nutrition supplementation to malnourished children.
Central Bank of Nigeria
 Only USAID and FAO have provided data on their activities so far to the CBN. CBN will like
to have data from partners to incorporate into its programmes such as the Financial
Inclusion Strategy, and the Anchor Borrowers Scheme.
 The CBN Entrepreneurship Development Centre is building the capacity of returnee IDPs to
manage micro business activities. It is also partnering with organisations to provide
trainings on sustainable means of livelihoods. 2,500 IDPs have been trained in Adamawa,
and Borno state.
