Highlights
- Situation of IDP Camps in the Maiduguri area
Reports of food shortages have been emerged in IDP camps in Borno state. The most afflicted camps are Dalori 1 & 2 accommodating over 13,000 IDPs, and Madinatu with over 1,600. Although the Government of Borno, together with some Non-Governmental Organisation (NGOs), is providing some food to the camps there are still a large number of households who have not been reached.
- Food Security and Livelihoods
The number of people projected to be in Cadre Harmonisé Phase 3 and above for the period January – May 2016 is 3,966,810. Given the prevailing context (CH Phase 2 likely to deteriorate), the figure will be reviewed during the next CH exercise, likely in March 2016; and will be the working figure for the second half of 2016. The Nigerian HRP for 2016 targets 1,500,000 persons for assistance in the food and livelihoods sector. In January 2016, the sector reached 15,538 Households made up of 153,538 persons, 71.72% (10,958) of the HHs reached received food distributions while 28.29% (4,332) received unconditional cash grants.
