While the Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO) comprised a countrywide
assessment of needs, the Strategic Response Plan (SRP) has prioritized
response mainly in northern Nigeria. The prioritization of response in this
part of the country is due mainly to the prevalence of critical humanitarian
challenges in the region as a result of lingering malnutrition affecting half a
million children and the impact of armed confrontation between militant
insurgent groups and the Nigerian army, which has left close to 6 million
people food insecure.
A total of 9.5 million people are currently affected by conflict and natural
disaster in Nigeria. Humanitarian partners have targeted 8.3 million people
for humanitarian assistance. Of the amount targeted, 7.2 million are from
the 8 sahelian states and an additional 3 states in northern Nigeria which
face similar humanitarian challenges to the sahelian states.
An estimated 4.2 million people in three states in the north-east of the
country declared by the Government to be under a state of emergency
(SoE) will be targeted for assistance, while 323,488 severe acute
malnourished children under the age of five will be treated in eleven

northern states1. The Strategic Response Plan (SRP) has been developed through joint planning and consultation
between the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA); nine humanitarian sectors co-led by Government
line ministries and United Nations agencies; non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and six sub-national
geopolitical zones representing Nigeria’s 36 states. Given the population and size of the country, data collection is
a resource-demanding task. Continuous data collection has been prioritized by humanitarian actors across the
country on an on-going basis. As new information emerges from these assessments data collection efforts the
Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO) will be updated accordingly. However, information on food security and on
planning for internally displaced persons (IDPs), has not been readily available; hence the immediate need to elicit
relevant information in these sectors for effective planning and response.
Of the total population of 9.5 million, 8.3 million will be targeted for
response on the basis of figures received from the Government, the
UN and NGOs. According to the National Emergency Management
Agency (NEMA) about 124,859 people displaced as a result of flooding
following rains between June and August 2013 remained displaced at
the end of 2013. According to the NEMA update of December 2013,
the Local Government Areas (LGA) in a state of emergency which
have been most affected by the insurgency are Metropolitan
Maiduguri, Kaga, Goza, Bama, Dambua, Baga in Kukawa, Marte,
Gubiyo, Abadam (Malam Fatori), Damsac, Mungunu, Ngalia and
Konduga in Borno state; Damaturu, Yadin Buni, Gujuba, Potiskum,
Fika, Gashua, Gaidam and Fune in Yobe state and Mubi, Ganye and
Song in Adamawa state. An estimated 4,732,802 people count
amongst the worst affected in SoE areas.
According to the latest UN country team (UNCT) assessment of SoE
states, 5,972,760 million people have been affected by the insurgency
in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states. This includes 27 LGAs in Borno
state, 6 LGAs in Adamawa state (Mubi North, Yola North, Yola South,
Girei, Numan, and Mayo Belwa) and 5 LGAs in Yobe state (Damaturu,
Potiskum, Geidem, Fune, Gujba). According to OCHA monitoring
reports, 70,000 people were displaced from Taraba, Benue,
Nasarawa, Kaduna, Kogi and Plateau states as a result of
intercommunal conflict.

UNICEF has projected that 1,790,920 people are likely to be malnourished in 2014 in 11 northern states. This
figure includes 539,147 children under five who are expected to suffer from severe acute malnutrition (SAM) while
1,251,773 people are predicted to suffer from moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) in 11 states in 2014. 90,823 of
children under the age of five are expected to suffer from Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) are in Borno, Yobe and
Adamawa. Epidemic-prone diseases such as measles, meningitis, cholera and Lassa fever occur as recurrent
outbreaks. In 2013, a total of 53,023 confirmed measles cases and 2,771 deaths were reported in 753 LGAs in the
36 states and in the Federal Capital Territory; as many as 6,600 suspected cases of cholera with 229 deaths were
reported in 94 LGAs in 20 states; 1,195 suspected Lassa fever cases and 39 deaths were reported in 14 states (27
LGAs) and 871 suspected cerebrospinal meningitis cases with 47 deaths in 28 states over the same period.

STRATEGY
People in need and targeted
Since 2012, the UN, INGOs and the Government have carried out assessments in various locations in order to
ascertain the extent of needs occasioned by disasters. . The joint UN and Government assessments highlighted
the needs of over 2.1 million and 124,859 people affected by flooding in 2012 and 2013 respectively. The
prioritization analysis conducted in 2013 for the (HNO helped the humanitarian community to further define its
targeting per sector. The sectors took into account capacity of partners and government-planned responses, which
they plan to complement. The sectors are targeting assistance as follows: coordination 8.3 million people,
education 600,000 people, food security and agriculture 1 million people; health 1.8 million, nutrition 323,488,
shelter 2.5 million, protection 500,000 and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) 2 million.

Planning assumptions
As stated in the HNO, insurgency in the north-east, inter-communal conflict in the north, malnutrition and food
insecurity in the Sahel region, election violence, epidemics (cholera) and flooding, will all continue to threaten the
lives and livelihoods of the population of Nigeria in 2014. In developing the planning assumptions for 2014, the
SRP critically analysed the likely scenarios that would play out based on the dynamics and complexities of the
various humanitarian challenges that are being addressed.
The aftermath of insurgency and the subsequent declaration of a state of emergency in the three northern states of
Borno, Yobe and Adamawa in 2013 will likely continue to disrupt markets, impact household farming and livelihood
activities and cause displacement in 2014. In addition, the 6-month extension of the state of emergency
(November-May 2014) and the unabated killings and heightened insecurity, may continue to narrow the
humanitarian space while food insecurity, which is currently projected at Integrated Food Security Phase
Classification (IPC) Phase 32 from January to March 2014, will further deteriorate throughout the extension period.
Also, poor households affected by this conflict may rely on sales of productive assets, such as livestock, farmland
and farm tools in order to meet their basic food consumption needs. In addition, households that are still recovering
from the impact of the floods in 2012 and those recovering from the disrupted harvest due to prolonged dryness in
northern, central and north-western zones are likely to continue to meet basic food consumption needs with a tight
margin. Long-term solutions are essential if displaced and other vulnerable people are to rebuild their lives.
Although the Government at national and sub-national levels has continued to provide some support to reduce the
extent of food insecurity among the most vulnerable, much more has to be done to improve targeting through better

identification of vulnerable groups, more accurate estimates of the level and type of support needed and overall
preparedness for emergencies. It is important to ensure that relevant programmes are put in place and sufficiently
supported to reduce vulnerabilities and chronic malnutrition, through better response planning and programming,
including institutionalizing safety-net programmes for the most vulnerable and the food insecure. Financial support
will be key to speeding up implementation of programmes.

Strategy
Strategic objectives have been designed on the basis of consultation at international, national and sub-national,
government and non-government level, to address priority needs and ensure multi-sectoral response in line with
each objective.The present objectives are aligned with priority categories set out by the Government and the
humanitarian country team in Nigeria. The SRP is designed to complement government programmes and meet the
needs of disaster-affected people in the areas of livelihood recovery, food security and agriculture, sanitation,
hygiene, health, and education. Protection issues will remain a key concern until the Government lifts the state of
emergency declared in the north-eastern states.
Following the 2012 flooding, the Government developed a comprehensive Post Disaster Needs Assessment
(PDNA) aimed at ensuring recovery and rehabilitation. Though the PDNA has not been implemented, it presents a
comprehensive picture of the damage and residual needs of the population affected by the floods. In developing
the SRP, the Government and humanitarian community agreed to factor in the PDNA, to cover residual
humanitarian needs and to support resilience and recovery.
In addition, it was agreed that the SRP should be guided by the following criteria:
1. Each project can realistically be implemented by the organization concerned, with reasonable scale-up where
necessary.
2. Projects target the most vulnerable groups according to vulnerability criteria. This is to be achieved by each
sector continuously collecting, analysing and applying sex- and age-disaggregated data.Establish evidence
based needs specific to the location and caseload of each project to be addressed.
3. Projects strengthen the resilience of people and systems to mitigate shocks in the longer term.
7
STRATEGIC RESPONSE PLAN
Nigeria
4. Develop mechanisms which national and local government can continue using independently of international
players.
Scope of the strategy
The 2014 plan seeks to meet the “strategic needs” of a population spanning six geo-political zones in Nigeria:
North-West, North-East, North-Central, South-South, South-East and South-West. This is predicated on the
complexity and dynamics of a humanitarian crisis that cuts across different regions. However, the SRP will pay
particular attention to the north considering the extent of humanitarian challenges identified from 2010 to 2013,
which are likely to persist due mainly to the declaration of a state of emergency and the on-going malnutrition crisis.
This SRP covers 24 months and clearly identifies areas where the Government and international partners can
cooperate to achieve sustainable improvements in living conditions and livelihoods for the most vulnerable
members of the population.
Priorities within the scope of the strategy
The projects in the SRP are designed around the five humanitarian priorities identified at regional level, that is, food
insecurity, malnutrition, conflict, epidemics and natural disaster. In setting these strategic priorities and especially in
selecting projects, the Government and the humanitarian country team agreed to the following:
Project selection guidance
The appealing organization and its implementing partners should have the capacity to implement the
1
project.
2
The appealing organization should be a member of the sector.
3
The project will align with the HNO and must meet the needs of the affected population.
4
The project should contribute to one or more sector strategic objectives.
5
The project should fall within the list of prioritized locations for the sectors or with justification accepted.
The project should have a clear target population, planned outputs, expected outcomes and
6
performance indictors.
The project should identify and respond to the distinct needs of women, girls, boys and men, or justify
7
its focus on one group.
8
The project should not duplicate activities implemented by other organisations.
9
The project activities should be feasible within the 12 month timeframe of the plan.
The project should be cost-effective in terms of the number of affected people assisted and the needs
10
to which the project responds.
The generic project selection criteria above were provided for sector coordinators to use in addition to the sector
specific criteria. The criteria reinforced the principle of working within targeted locations addressing gender,
environmental and accountability considerations.
Cross-cutting and context-specific issues
Gender
Humanitarian actors in Nigeria have committed to ensuring and promoting gender equality in the humanitarian
response through the application of the Gender Marker, a tool designed to ensure that all segments of the target
population will benefit equally. This will be achieved through working with sectors and implementing partners on
two aspects: first, to build capacity around the design of “gender equality programming” to ensure more equitable
participation and an appropriate distribution of humanitarian assistance. Second, to ensure monitoring of project
implementation takes into account gender equality considerations.
Early Recovery
Early recovery plans should be integrated into humanitarian work to ensure the dividends of humanitarian response
are sustainable and interventions link to longer-term development processes and goals. Although life-saving
support remains the first priority, early recovery approaches aim to restore services, livelihoods and governance
capacity, which are conducive to an environment where the displaced have the opportunity to access essential
services, have viable livelihoods, and live in safety and dignity. Early recovery approaches also seek to involve
8

STRATEGIC RESPONSE PLAN
local authorities and communities in the planning as much as possible. Early recovery-centred approaches are not
new to Nigeria; the Nigeria National Strategic Plan, the interim Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) and the
2013-2016 United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) all reflect a policy-driven emphasis on
opportunity-based transitions from relief to development.
Constraints and how the sectors will address them
The main constraint to the execution of this emergency response plan especially in north-eastern Nigeria is the
insecurity due to the violent insurgency of Boko Haram, which has led to complete collapse of economic activities
and displacement of thousands of households into neighbouring states and to refugees crossing borders to Niger,
Cameroun and Chad. One upshot of the conflict has been a reduction in household food production in the region.
Access to most of northern Nigeria is constrained due to insecurity, making data collection for humanitarian
planning a challenge. Sectors will address the above constraints through regular assessment of the security
situation in the north-east and will adjust their projects accordingly. The UN in particular will implement the
recommendations from the programme criticality assessment conducted in 2012 as one of the measures to
minimize risks in the highly insecure environment of Nigeria. Periodic joint meetings will be held with the
humanitarian country team to evaluate the security situation, and decisions will be taken as to security advisories
so that humanitarian actors are able to deliver assistance and remain safe.
Direct efforts will be geared towards strengthening institutional capacities of relevant Government line ministries
and agencies in data collection and management. Close collaboration will also be developed between stakeholders
to reduce vulnerability and build community resilience, especially in flood and drought prone areas. Regular
vulnerability assessments and food and nutrition analyses will be envisaged, especially in the Sahelian regions of
Nigeria where drought is more frequent.
Response monitoring
The Government and humanitarian country team in Nigeria will set up and manage a response monitoring
framework. The monitoring framework will outline the process, timing, and responsibilities for the gathering and
analysis of data on the collective humanitarian response; set forth scheduled intervals for reporting key findings;
and provide evidence for decision-making and corrective action. The inter-sectoral coordination group will track and
analyse outcome and output indicators and measure progress against the strategic objectives of the response.
Sector coordinators will aggregate project outputs and assess outcome indicators, and measure progress towards
sector objectives while individual organizations will register their projects’ output results and feed them to the
respective sectors.
Analysis of monitoring information will feed into a number of reporting products, including the Humanitarian Bulletin,
the Humanitarian Dashboard, and sector reports. The frequency of reporting will be quarterly for most indicators. In
the first few months following the launch of the SRP, output-level reporting will be carried out on a monthly basis.
The first report was released at the end of January 2014. Outcome-level monitoring will take place at mid-term
review and at the end of the SRP cycle.

Government and humanitarian partners have been increasingly aware of the need to strengthen their joint efforts in
responding to emergencies in Nigeria. The magnitude of the 2012 floods and the deteriorating situation in the
north-east have highlighted the pressing need for more coordinated and more strategic planning among emergency
management institutions (NEMA, SEMAs, Commission for Refugees and line ministries) and humanitarian
partners.
OCHA was instrumental in establishing the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) comprising UN operational
agencies, INGOs and donors in 2012. The HCT was instrumental in mobilizing funds ($6.5 million) from CERF to
complement the Government’s response to the needs of 2.1 million people displaced in the 14 most affected states
in 2012, and supported joint rapid assessments in north-eastern states. In addition, OCHA helped establish an
inter-sectoral coordination mechanism which currently provides a platform for the development of the HNO and
SRP.
OCHA will continue to work with the relevant federal and state government agencies to strengthen national and
sub-national coordination. OCHA’s investment will include capacity building and training for data collection and
management, through joint assessment and collaboration with various actors including NGOs and media.

STRATEGIC RESPONSE PLAN
It is estimated that 600,000 Nigerian children have difficulty accessing education due to man made and natural
disasters3. With the incessant attacks on schools, students and parents, the schooling environment has become
increasingly insecure and many schools in disaster affected areas are being used as shelters for displaced people.
Across the twelve states affected by floods in 2012, 4,199 schools (3,205 primary schools and 994 secondary
schools) were either partially or severely damaged (PDNA, 2012). This resulted in the disruption of schooling and
in the displacement of students to neighbouring schools which established a double shift system to cope with
overcrowding. The use of school buildings as temporary shelters resulted in the loss of teaching and learning
hours, poor coverage of curriculum content and failure to achieve school goals and objectives. Parents who could
previously afford the higher fees imposed by private schools enrolled their children in public schools while many
children from poor families were forced to drop out of school during this critical period, thus exacerbating inequality
between children. In addition, school facilities were generally overstretched, and some furniture was taken for
firewood by IDPs. In many cases, the government has not been quick to restore the damaged structures so that
children can return to school. For this and other reasons, it is suggested that provision for alternative shelter
spaces should be made in preparedness and contingency plans.
Recurrent attacks on schools, learners and teachers have been reported in SoE states. In cities in north eastern
Nigeria such as Maiduguri, many children can only attend school irregularly, while others have missed up to two
years of schooling. The education sector, which has remained a frequent target of attacks, has been particularly
hard hit by the crisis. In Borno State, 77 schools and 533 classrooms offering basic education have been burned, 5
teachers have been killed and 9,546 desks have been destroyed. 25 teachers and three students have been killed
in the public senior secondary and high schools, and a further 10 students and one teacher suffered the same fate
in private schools. Ministry of Education materials and buildings have also been vandalized in some schools by
unknown gunmen. In Yobe, 21 schools have been burned down while others are in need of rehabilitation. For
details, see Annex 2.
Basic education has been the most affected aspect, and efforts to build back will take a long time. According to the
survey supported by UNICEF in 2013, most communities reported that schools are not functioning. The escalating
level of violence is threatening the education of hundreds of thousands of children as school attendance has
plummeted in many areas affected by the conflict. Given the complex situation in these states, a more systematic
approach is required to ensure delivery of education services is conflict sensitive and designed with explicit peace
building interventions in mind in order to achieve better and more sustainable results for children.

Nigeria has suffered from multiple hazards in recent times, whether natural or man made. Many rural communities
are vulnerable to floods, drought, plant pests and livestock diseases, as well as soil erosion. Violent insurgency in
the north of the country has also resulted in social and political unrest, slowing down economic activity including
agriculture in the north-east. This has increased the risk of food security in localized areas of Borno and Yobe
states. Appropriate response measures are needed to reduce the impact of violence and unrest.
Several food security and malnutrition assessments have been undertaken by UN and partner agencies in northern
states in particular and in Nigeria in general. According to UNCT assessments of the SoE states, 5,972,760 million
persons are affected by the insurgency in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states. This includes 27 LGAs in Borno
state, 6 LGAs in Adamawa state (Mubi North, Yola North, Yola South, Girei, Numan, Mayo Belwa) and 5 LGAs in
Yobe state (Damaturu, Potiskum, Geidem, Fune, Gujba). Around 1 million people will be targeted for support out of
the 4.2 million people assessed to be in need.
Although the government at both national and sub-national levels has continued to provide some support to reduce
the extent of food insecurity among the most vulnerable population, there is an apparent need for a combination of
life-saving assistance and longer-term measures to protect and improve the livelihood of vulnerable groups and
provide better estimates of support needed and overall preparedness measures to take for emergencies. There is
also a need to ensure that relevant programmes are put in place and sufficiently supported to reduce vulnerabilities
and chronic malnutrition, through better response planning and programming, including institutionalizing safety-net
programmes for the most vulnerable and food insecure. Similarly, more financial support is required to speed up
programme implementation. Adoption of the most appropriate transfer modality will be encouraged and a wide
range of mutually supportive interventions will be promoted, involving national, NGO and UN actors to streamline
capacity building at local, national and regional levels.
23
STRATEGIC RESPONSE PLAN
Nigeria
The immediate priorities for the food security sector aim to accelerate recovery from the trauma of the emergency
period rebuild household food supply chains and reinstate production capacity. Meanwhile, immediate interventions
are needed in the form of direct food supply and cash assistance to purchase food. Although federal and state
governments, philanthropists and NGOs have been providing assistance, a lot more needs to be done to reach
those affected. Some of the most vulnerable people are located in remote areas without access to markets.
Immediate interventions that can be supported under this SRP include:
 UNCT to advocate with the Government to release more grain from the national reserve to compensate for the
high food prices in the SoE states. Agencies, national and international NGOs could also be encouraged to
implement projects that support household and community coping mechanisms.
 Immediate cash transfer programme to be implemented in affected states to buy food and essential household
items such as cooking utensils and kerosene.
 Direct distribution of food items to households in the most affected communities.
 National and state based NGOs with capacity and expertise to be mobilized as partners to reach remote areas
and most vulnerable households.
These interventions would improve household food security in the short term and would keep famine and crisis at
arm’s length. For the intermediate and medium term, household capacity to build resilience will be supported. To
this end, affected farmers will be provided with seeds, fertilizer and tools making it possible for them to return and
cultivate their farmlands. To address Medium Acute Malnutrition (MAM), food-based interventions will be promoted
to improve household diet quality, and to overcome and prevent malnutrition and nutritional deficiencies especially
in children. To build resilience to climate and sustainable food security systems, conservation agriculture
techniques and use of high yielding drought resistant crop varieties will be introduced to farming communities .

the floods of 2012 in which serious and extensive damages were recorded, and which were the first of their kind in
Nigeria; environmental disasters of erosion, land slides, lead poisoning and oil spillage in the Niger Delta; the
ocean surge; communal clashes and a current state of emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states in the
north-east of the country.
Post election violence in 2011 led to the loss of many lives and destruction of properties worth hundreds of millions
across the country. The 2012 floods cost Nigeria over $7 billion in economic terms, affected over seven million
people and displaced more than 2 million people, 597,476 houses were either damaged or destroyed, 363 people
died and much farm land and produce was destroyed4. Approximately 75% of those displaced were women and
children under five years old. Since 2009, increasingly frequent and sophisticated attacks and bombings, attributed
to Boko Haram, have been carried out, and ensuing heavy-handed counter-insurgency operations have caused
death, destruction of property and significant displacement.
Before 2009, most political violence in Nigeria occurred in the south, in the densely populated Niger Delta region
which is home to the country’s oil and gas industry. Fighting between militants and Government forces deployed to
protect oil installations and personnel led to further displacement.
Communal clashes affected almost every part of the country, including the north-west, north-east, north-central and
south-east. Many lives were lost and properties, farm land and produce destroyed. Environmental disaster included
the landslide in the South-South, South-East and lead poisoning in Zamfara state causing loss of life,
environmental damage, impairing health and rendering farmland useless. Ocean surges in Lagos occurred in 2012
and 2013, occasioning loss of life and destruction of property.
Most disaster affected people in Nigeria take shelter in schools, churches, mosques, town halls, and in makeshift
camps and NEMA camps which are grossly inadequate and unsustainable. Host communities accommodating
IDPs mostly become overstretched and overwhelmed. To date there is no standard mechanism or effective system
of distribution of non-food items for IDPs accommodated by host communities who make up the majority; schools
that serve as temporary shelters interrupt pupils’ education. The lead poisoning in Zamfara state that continues to
cause considerable loss of life, endanger health and degrade the environment is caused by the use of cyanide, a
chemical used by artisan miners/illegal miners in mining to separate precious stones from soil and clay particles
and then concentrate the mineral in one chunk. It is a scientific fact that cyanide is a highly hazardous and

corrosive poison that kills adults gradually and kills children almost immediately. It is for this reason that many
industrialized countries have banned the use of cyanide in mining.
The health sector will respond to the direct impact of these hazards and will ensure linkage to programmes
addressing malnutrition and epidemics such as cholera and other water borne diseases. In addition, the health
sector will adopt an integrated response that will address diarrheal diseases, inpatient care, essential drugs,
malaria and HIV preparedness and response including prevention of communicable diseases through awareness
raising with communities in high risk (security) areas.

Nigeria has the second highest acute malnutrition burden in the world. An estimated 3.78 million children suffer
from wasting. In northern states, the prevalence of wasting ranges from 1.5% in Yobe to 3.7% in Katsina (SMART
nutrition survey, August 2013). This is also the region with the highest child mortality rate and the worst social and
economic indicators. Following release of the National Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) in 2008, showing
very high levels of acute malnutrition in the country, in 2009 UNICEF Nigeria introduced the Community-based
Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) programme. With the onset of the nutrition crisis in the Sahel mainly in
the eight Sahelian states in the north of the country, the UNICEF Nigeria country office has been supporting the
Government in implementing a scaled-up CMAM programme; from a targeted 6,000 children in 2009 the CMAM
raised the bar to support 200,000 children 2012, so as to meet the increasing number of cases of Severe Acute
Malnutrition (SAM). UNICEF, in collaboration with the federal and state Ministries of Health and sector partners
plans to continue strengthening the CMAM interventions to provide effective treatment for children with Severe
Acute Malnutrition (SAM) in eight Sahelian states in the north.
During emergency situations, there is an increased risk of death especially among children under five due to
frequent cases of infection and high rates of malnutrition. The fundamental means of preventing malnutrition and
mortality is to ensure appropriate feeding and care. Children suffering from acute malnutrition have a high risk of
dying, thus management of acute malnutrition during the emergency is an urgent priority. From current estimates,
about 30% of affected people are living in IDP camps (2,152,699) while the others are living with host communities
(5,022,965). Of this number, 30% are estimated to be children under the age of five of whom 87,184 are expected
to be severely malnourished and some 258,324 moderately malnourished. While reports indicated that rainfall
might continue until the end of November, the flood shows no sign of receding. Livelihoods of the displaced have
also been destroyed leaving them devoid of a coping mechanism for the coming year. The state of emergency is
maintained in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states and security has been one of the major challenges to delivering
routine nutrition programmes. It is imperative to continue providing nutritional services through CMAM to children
with Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) in the region, with specific focus to 11 Sahelian states. Recent results from
SMART nutrition surveys indicate that there is a need to continue treating children with SAM in these areas. In
2014 alone, a total of 539,147 cases of SAM are expected to require treatment through CMAM services in the 11
Sahelian states of Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Jigawa, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto, Yobe and Zamfara.
Continued and strengthened Community Infant and Young Child Feeding (c-IYCF) interventions, principally in the
form of counselling, are planned in 495 PHC/CMAM sites for the promotion of exclusive breast feeding and
complimentary feeding practices. The estimated budget is for procurement of Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Foods
(RUTF), logistics and a nutrition survey for monitoring purposes. The budget is based on 60% of the total estimated
SAM burden (539,147) for the year in eleven Sahelian states, to assist 323,488 children.

Access to portable water in Nigeria is limited to about 58.5% of the population, while access to basic sanitation
and hygiene is limited to 32% (Multi Indicator Cluster Survey 2012). During floods the majority of water facilities are
destroyed thereby reducing access to portable water. In the flood disaster of 2012, according to PDNA reporting,
damage to water facilities was estimated at over $79 billion. The report also highlighted a generalized reduction in
access to water for drinking and domestic use as flood victims had to travel longer distances and spend more time
to collect water following the disaster. Early in 2013, the Nigerian Meteorological Agency Seasonal Rainfall
Prediction (SRP) indicated that high rainfalls leading to flooding are to be expected in some parts of the country.
The 2013 Annual Flood Outlook (AFO) released by the Nigerian Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA) confirmed
NIMET’s forecast. It expected that the need for WASH will increase with the flood season from June to November
2014.
Insecurity in the states under a state of emergency (SoE) in the north-east has led to population movement to the
neigbouring states and weakened LGAs affected access to WASH services. A September 2013 assessment of
SoE states by the UNCT noted that in Borno State 70% of the respondents reported that water and sanitation
facilities were overstretched as a result of the influx of people from high risk LGAs to low risk LGAs. However, given
the timeframe of the assessment, it was difficult to ascertain the actual figure of the displaced population at
household level. In Yobe state 60% of the respondents reported that access to good water and sanitation in the
LGAs covered by the report is adequate. Adamawa state has a minimum level of contamination in comparison with
other states.
In all the affected areas, per capita availability of water supply in the north-east has decreased to one third of precrisis levels. Frequent power cuts, fuel shortages, production and maintenance of water works along with
infrastructure damages have a direct impact on water supplies in the area. Estimated pre-crisis availability of 75
litres per person per day dropped to an average of 20 litres per person per day. Access to water treatment
chemicals has also become increasingly difficult.
Water utilities establishments in most parts of the affected LGAs were moribund even before the declaration of the
state of emergency. Water is distributed by water trucks but chlorination is not systematically carried out by public
and private water truckers. The non-availability of treatment plants for properly treating and disposing of waste,
further increases the discharge of untreated waste into the environment with a heightened risk of ground and
surface water contamination.
Poor hygiene practices in densely-populated areas and collective shelters (more than one family per household)
are increasing the risk of epidemic disease outbreaks. Children and women in collective shelters are more exposed
to unsanitary conditions, including unsafe drinking water and a lack of water for personal hygiene, placing them at

further risk of water-borne diseases, including diarrhoea and skin diseases, such as scabies. In particular children
and women are more exposed to unsanitary conditions due to lack of toilet facilities. To make matters worse,
displaced persons have been observed using the limited number of toilets in their host communities for bathing and
other washing purposes, not only increasing the demand on the sewer or discharge system, but demonstrating
their overall inability to maintain good hygiene practices. There is also a lack of water for basic needs such as
personal hygiene, menstruation management, washing clothes and flushing toilets.

It is estimated that 9.4 million individuals will be affected by conflict and disasters in Nigeria including floods,
recurrent intercommunal clashes and insurgency/counter-insurgency in the three states where the Government
declared a state of emergency. Protection concerns in the context of these complex dynamics include but are not
limited to: threats to life and freedom of movement, forced evictions, violence against women and children, children
affected by armed conflict and arbitrary arrest. The displacement caused by flooding in 2012 helped draw wide
international and national attention to the displacement caused by inter-communal violence and the northern
conflict involving insurgents. While incidents of violence are regularly reported in local and national media, data on
IDPs is patchy. More information is needed on their situation, their overall needs, response to their plight and gaps
in response. In addition, internal displacement in Nigeria is generally addressed as a short-term and humanitarian
issue, with minimal resources dedicated to helping people return, integrate locally or settle elsewhere in the
country. This lack of focus on durable solutions and the absence of countrywide monitoring mean that only limited
information is available on the situation of IDPs beyond the emergency response phase.
The protection situation for civilians in the SoE states is a continued source of concern. Armed clashes between
anti-government elements and the Joint Task Force (JTF) often result in the death of civilians, including children
and women and access to the affected communities is becoming increasingly difficult. This has resulted in the
exact number of civilians (including women and children) affected often not being available. It is therefore critical to
improve monitoring and reporting of human rights violations in the three SoE states to better understand the
situation facing civilians. Armed anti-government elements have also specifically targeted the education system.
Human rights groups have reported that between January and September 2013 up to 50 schools may have been
attacked, burned or destroyed in the north-east and at least 70 teachers and 100 students have been killed or
injured since 2012, causing considerable disruption to education for children in the affected states (Amnesty
International 2013).
Gender-based violence (GBV) continues to be a cause for concern in Nigeria. Data on the extent of GBV is highly
unreliable, due to considerable under reporting of these incidents, especially sexual violence which attracts victim
stigmatisation. According to the Nigerian Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) conducted in 2008, 28% of
women have experienced physical violence since the age of 15 while 15% of women have experienced this during
the preceding 12 months. During crises, mechanisms for physical and social protection may be weakened or
destroyed. The work of the police, legal assistance, access to health, education, and other social services are often
disrupted and for those who become displaced these services may not be available anymore. Although there is no
specific analysis available on the impact of disasters on GBV prevalence and response in Nigeria, data from other
countries shows that GBV incidents increase and response mechanisms are weakened. Therefore addressing
GBV from the earliest stages of any emergency is a basic lifesaving and protection issue.
It is also expected that with the upcoming elections in 2015 new challenges will emerge and affect the human rights
situation in the country. Political violence is expected to intensify as the political battle to control the Presidency
deepens. Since Nigeria became a democratic nation in 1999, every election has been marred by violence and
accusations of election irregularities. The 2011 elections left more than 800 persons dead after sporadic riots broke

STRATEGIC RESPONSE PLAN
out following the announcement of election results. There are growing worries that the divisions within the ruling
party will lead to more intense political battles for the victory in the 2015 elections.
Interactions with a wide range of stakeholders including actors in the field indicate limited awareness on
humanitarian protection principles leading to gaps in effective protection planning and response. The sector will
therefore work as a matter of priority to advocate for the integration of these principles in humanitarian planning,
assessment and response. Improving the monitoring, reporting and response of human rights violations, especially
as they relate to children in the context of armed conflict, will also be undertaken to better understand the situation
in the north-east and inform an advocacy campaign to reduce these violations. The establishment of such a system
will provide the information necessary to guide programme design for the protection of children. Generated
information will also serve as an early warning for any crisis enabling prompt and relevant programmatic
interventions.

Access to potable water in Nigeria is about 58.5% while access to basic Sanitation and Hygiene is 32% (Multi
Indicator Cluster Survey 2012). During the flood disaster, the majority of water facilities were destroyed thereby
reducing access to potable water. According to a PDNA report, damage to water facilities in the 2012 flood disaster
was estimated at N12.9 billion. The report also highlighted a general indication of reduced access to water for
drinking and domestic use as flood victims had to travel longer distances and spend more time collecting water
after the disaster.
In early 2013, the Nigerian Meteorological Agency Seasonal Rainfall Prediction (SRP) indicated that high rainfall
leading to flooding was to be expected in some parts of the country. The 2013 Annual Flood Outlook (AFO)
released by the Nigerian Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA), confirmed NIMET’s forecast. The AFO revealed
that apart from Ekiti, Enugu, Katsina, Imo, Abia States and Federal Capital Territory (FCT), all other states in
Nigeria were likely to experience significant flooding in 2013. With regard to river flooding, the most affected areas
were expected to be in the Komadugu Yobe Basin and the Niger and Benue troughs. In areas affected by the
previous season's floods, poor households are still in the process of recovering their livelihoods. WASH issues are
still very critical in these areas, poor access to clean water, hygiene and sanitation is still very common, making the
affected population susceptible to water-borne diseases like cholera, diarrhoea or malaria.
Lead poisoning and oil pollution in Zamfara State and Niger Delta area respectively are responsible for the
contamination of domestic water sources of the communities around the affected areas. Addressing this also
requires provision of access to clean water as a way of preventing the disaster. Sanitary facilities for affected
people are also impacted. Analysis of the toilet facilities used by the respondents before and after the disaster
showed that the situation worsened as a result of the flood disaster. The survey indicated that in Anambra, Imo,
Kogi, Niger and Jigawa states the proportion of households that used household toilets declined while open
defecation increased. This situation was likely to apply across all the states impacted by the flood.
Furthermore, use of other sanitary facilities such as soap, detergents, water and sanitary napkins became
inadequate in the aftermath of the disaster. There is a continued need for humanitarian assistance to those
displaced by the floods, as well as those populations whose access to safe water and sanitation services was
reduced by the effects of flooding in their communities. Beyond the humanitarian relief and preparedness
responses, there is a need for sustainable intervention putting in place flood mitigation measures which will include
building of organizational capacity and coordination for early warning and response. Such flood mitigation
measures will include construction of flood-proof water sources and catchment treatments on micro water shed
basis.
Cumulatively from weeks 1-48, 2013, at least 4,390 suspected cholera cases were reported with 151 deaths from
18 LGAs. A priority is to strengthen the cholera monitoring and response mechanisms primarily through the FMoH
and FMoWR. Strategies would include provision of water quality testing kits and training for SMoHs and
RUWASAs to plan, implement and sustain a coherent water quality testing regime and to build capacity to respond
early to contain outbreaks. Improvement in water quality, latrine coverage and hygiene behaviour are essential

STRATEGIC RESPONSE PLAN
Nigeria
components of cholera response and such activities would use schools and health facilities as entry points to the
wider community where water treatment at household level would be a focus area.
According to WHO, nutritional status is compromised where people are exposed to high levels of infection due to
unsafe and insufficient water supply and inadequate sanitation. In secondary malnutrition, people suffering from
diarrhoea will not benefit fully from food because frequent stools prevent adequate absorption of nutrients.
Moreover, those who are already experiencing protein-energy malnutrition are more susceptible to, and less able to
recover from, infectious diseases. Nigeria has the second highest acute malnutrition burden in the world.
Malnutrition is a major health problem, especially in the 8 Sahelian states of northern Nigeria where about 367,000
children were reached through the Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) programme as of
November 2013. Natural disasters and conflicts, by damaging water infrastructure and contaminating supplies,
contribute to increased malnutrition and an increased risk of death especially among children under five due to
frequent cases of infection and high rates of malnutrition.
