PROJECT SUMMARY

650 permanent shelters installed with micro home solar systems were constructed to the most vulnerable households with completely damaged shelters in Bama and Gwoza local government areas of Borno State. The local communities were directly engaged and trained on shelter construction skills to design and build back their shelters which has contributed to increased sense of ownership of the beneficiaries to their shelters. Based on learnings from implementing transitional shelter programming in Damboa, Dikwa and Ngala Local Government Areas, a cash-based approach to shelter construction was employed in the project which ensured household participation in the shelter design process, thus building towards better ownership and links to recovery of the affected population.
