Overview:
There is continuous influx of IDPs to existing camps and to Local Government Areas accessible towns such as Mafa, Bama, Maiduguri MC, Konduga, Ngala, Gamboru Ngala, Banki, Chibok and Damboa. Sudden movements of populations are linked to better access, allowing people to flee locations previously under Boko Haram control or due to attacks. After several years of displacement, IDPs in existing camps require support to maintain their shelters and for NFI. Urgent drainage work is needed in several camps ahead of the rainy season, in order to mitigate the risks of flooding, in particular in the LGAs of Borno where the shelter interventions are now being up-scaled.
Limited funding received in 2016 is being stretched to 2017 due to the low amount of resources allocated in this year. The lack of contingency stocks prepositioned in various LGAs has critically hampered the immediate response in Mafa, Bama, Chibok, Pulka and other locations, indicating an urgent need for the prepositioning of NFI stocks across the country.
Logistic concerns remain in several areas, lack of land to resettle IDPs in planned camps and increased concerns regarding land situation ahead of the rainy season. Three LGAs in Borno State remain inaccessible, with no information on the living conditions of IDPs in these areas.
Context and Response:
• Two coordination meetings were held to address specific gaps, needs and actions points for response for Ngala and Dikwa towns.
• Monitoring of activities and of services in IDP sites is being expanded through the deployment of 7 CCCM mobile teams and the expansion of the Site Facilitation approach.
• The DTM Emergency Tracking Tool is becoming a reference to report sudden movement and it is being adopted as the main source of information of alerts for the Rapid Response Mechanisms.
• The sector is working closely with the Protection Sector to develop a Monitoring tool to track the movement of people returning to their places of usual residence before displacement through the collaboration of DTM and the Vulnerability Assessment.
• Additional collaboration with the Protection and WASH sectors to improve indicators for data collection and ensure appropriate reporting of Shelter-related NFI, Protection-related NFIs and WASH related NFIs to the respective sectors to avoid double-reporting.
• A Sector Strategy Development Workshop was organised in Maiduguri with the participation of the SEMAs of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe; NEMA officials from the 3 states and Abuja and the NBS as the national leads for both sectors. UN agencies, International and National NGOs also contributed to the discussion to streamline and operationalise the HRP.
