February 2021 - Nearly twelve years of conflict between Islamist insurgents and government forces in northeastern Nigeria have left the region facing a desperate humanitarian crisis, characterized by mass population displacement and severe human rights abuses, including abductions, killings, and sexual violence. Destruction of infrastructure has left most of the population without access to safe water, sanitation, or healthcare and widespread food insecurity, exacerbated by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, has left the region on the brink of famine. Across the three conflict-affected states of Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe, an estimated 8.9 million people will need humanitarian assistance in 2021.

With GAC’s support, Save the Children is preventing and treating acute malnutrition and improving access to protection services for conflict-affected internally displaced persons and host communities in Nigeria’s Borno state. Project activities include: (1) identifying and treating acute malnutrition; (2) providing case-management and other services to survivors of sexual and gender based-violence (SGBV) or those at risk; and (3) engaging with community stakeholders to improve understanding of and response to protection risks.

March 2021 - Despite progress towards sustainable political stability, the impact of more than three decades of insecurity, exacerbated by frequently recurring drought, increasing seasonal flooding, an ongoing historic infestation of desert locusts, and the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, has left much of the population without access to basic services and ever more vulnerable to the next shock. Internal displacement remains at record levels, with an estimated 2.6 million internally displaced people (IDPs) living in more than 2,400 sites across the country, and severe food insecurity is projected to increase in 2021, as a La Niña weather event is expected to bring renewed drought conditions early in the year. Altogether, an estimated 5.9 million people in Somalia will require humanitarian assistance in 2021.

With GAC’s support, Save the Children is preventing and treating acute malnutrition and improving access to healthcare amongst drought- and conflict-affected IDPs, returnees, and host communities in Somalia’s Lower Juba region. Project activities include: (1) providing training and support for local health workers and facilities; and (2) providing screening for and treatment of acute malnutrition.

This Project supports the Canadian community’s efforts to attract, retain and expand foreign direct investment (FDI) and is ultimately designed to strengthen the economy at the community level.
