Led by the World Food Programme (WFP), the ETS was activated in North-East Nigeria in November 2016 in response to the protection crisis. ETS Nigeria Situation Reports are issued monthly.
Highlights
- In support of the high-level donor mission involving WFP Nigeria Country Office’s senior management team, the ETS deployed two CrisisNet kits from 13 to 21 February in Borno and Yobe. These kits provided internet connectivity during the mission and helped the delegates conduct live broadcast of the ongoing food distribution for fundraising and advocacy purposes in Borno.
- The ETS conducted a deployment mission for the service expansion in Pulka from 18 to 25 February. The sector deployed Security Communications system (SCS) to help the humanitarian communicate with the United Nations Department of Safety and Security (UNDSS) while working in the deep field location.
- On 10 February, the ETS redesigned and shared the first 2025 user policies incorporating up-to-date information of the ETS user policy. The updated user policy will ensure ETS users understand its latest guidelines for internet.
