2024 Protection Response Overview

In 2024, the PSNE aimed to assist 2 million individuals among the 4 million people in need of Protection, including IDPs, IDP returnees, refugee returnees, and host community members across the BAY states. The projected requirement for these life-saving protection interventions was $65.4 million, covering activities in General Protection, Child Protection (CP), Gender-Based Violence (GBV), Housing, Land, and Property (HLP), and Mine Action (MA).

Throughout the year, the PSNE and its Areas of Responsibility (AoRs) received $33.2 million, which equals 51% of the annual funding requirement, and successfully reached 1.9 million individuals, 60% female (1,177,150) and 40% male (772,096) of the targeted 2 million people in 2024.

851k (44%) individuals mainly reached through prevention activities, such as protection information sharing, awareness raising, community outreach, sensitization, and risk education. In contrast, the combined reach of various response activities including general Protection, CP, GBV, HLP and MA collectively accounts for 54%. These response activities are more resource-intensive and demand a higher level of partner capacity.
