General context of the project

PUI, ACTED/REACH, INTERSOS, SI, and TDH will join their efforts to comprehensively address the needs of the most vulnerable populations affected by the conflict in North East Nigeria following a holistic, evidence-based, principled and integrated multi-sector approach.

Significant added value to the quality of the intervention will be enabled through the leverage of the complementarity between the different organizations' technical expertise, and the different stage of experience in the targeted areas of interventions. Most importantly, the creation of the consortium is born from the joint analysis that after 8 years of protracted crisis, the humanitarian response in North East Nigeria suffers from major shortcomings in terms of coordination, evidence-based analysis of the needs, integrated approach and resources rationalization.

By providing an integrated approach, consortiums' partners aim at ensuring an optimized and comprehensive coverage of the most critical needs of the affected population, particularly in hard-to-reach areas where the humanitarian response is little developed. With REACH, a multi-sector needs assessment was conducted that highlighted critical gaps in three LGA of Borno State: MMC, Kukawa and Mobbar LGA. Along with an integrated response, the consortium will ensure protection mainstreaming and will address cross-cutting protection needs (Gender-based violence and Child protection).

The objective of this action will be both the delivery of essential services and the strengthening of a protection focused response as a whole, in order to provide the basis for a principled comprehensive intervention, increase sustainability of actions and enhance synergies among implementing partners. In parallel and emergency preparedness and response has been planned, particularly in reaction of epidemic outbreak.

General context of the project

Nigeria has been experiencing an influx of internally displaced persons since the beginning of the conflict in 2009 as a result of violent insurgencies by armed organised groups attacking villages, killing people, abducting women and girls and using children as human bombs. States such as Borno, Bauchi, Taraba, Gombe, Yobe and Adamawa were the most affected. The government carried out military operations, to defend, take back control of its territories and free and rescue the trapped civilian in these areas. As a result of these Armed Organised Group (AOG) attacks and military operations, the situation quickly escalated into a humanitarian crisis in 2015 due to the large number of internally displaced civilians that were in an urgent need of protection and lifesaving assistance. To date, 2,026,602 displaced people have been registered in the different Local government safer areas, where camps or camp-like settings have been formed for people searching for refuge and assistance. However, only 40% of the displaced population stays in the camp while about 60% live with relatives and friends in the host communities. Over one million more people are believed to be trapped in the hard to reach areas, who may also want to find safety in the safer LGA across the North eastern states. The 10 years unending insurgency has left a heavy toll on the government infrastructure and capabilities to meet the demands of its affected population yet adding on the already existing chronic poverty levels and underdevelopment, with now over 7.6 million people in need of life saving assistance and 2.02 million people of these are internally displacement, while 1.6 million people are returnees. The largest IDP, refugee and returnee’s population is in the three north eastern state of Borno with 73% IDPs, Adamawa with 10%, and Yobe with 7% (DTM around 26 report), who have also suffered repeated displacement. In response to this humanitarian crisis, 94 humanitarians implement partners have been registered to provide lifesaving assistance targeting about 6.1 million people in the eight main sectors of intervention including food, WASH health, Shelter/CCCM, education and protection.

The CCCM/Shelter/NFI sector targeted 900,000 IDPs for assistance within the camps and camp like settings for the last three years, and now predicts an increment in new arrival movement in the next three years. This increase in IDPs is expected to rise to about 1.4 million people in the next few years where the need of assistance and protection services within camp and camp like settings will be required. According to the recent multi sector needs assessments, DTM report round 25, Humanitarian Situation Reports and the Humanitarian Needs Overview, shelter and non-food items ranked among the most unmet needs of the IDPs and returnees. It was also noted that the need for coordination and monitoring partner service delivery as well as the movement trend in the camp was very pivotal in this humanitarian crisis through the provision of camp coordination and camp management services in collaboration with National Authorities.

Currently in Borno State where this CCCM project will be implemented, IDPS, returnees and refugees together with the host community still face massive need for life saving assistance such as food, water, health, education and protection. When fleeing from their places of origin to the camps due to the conflict, communal clashes or natural disaster, IDPs usually bring nothing with them for restarting their life. This situation creates urgent need for shelter and non-food items as basic human needs for survival. The national authorities (SEMA and NEMA, LG chairmen) remain the camp administrators in the camps, but due to the size of the population and lack of capacity, the CCCM humanitarian partners support the national authorities to manage camps, share information and coordination responsibilities in order to bridge the gap between beneficiaries and service providers.

Job Title: Project Manager CCCM/Shelter

Code: SR-49-905

Duty station: Maiduguri with missions to the coordination office in Abuja and the field bases (Monguno and Ngala, Borno State)

Starting date: 07/03/2019

Contract duration: 8 months

Reporting to: Head of Base

Supervision of: Around 10 staff

Dependents: n/a

General context of the project

Since 2009, the Boko Haram insurgency (herein, Armed Opposition Groups [AOGs]) has crippled north eastern Nigeria. Recent advances by the Nigerian Army and the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) have improved humanitarian access in 25 of the 27 Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Borno but have also revealed the extent of the crisis. After nine years of uninterrupted conflict, the country's crisis has been aggravated by high levels of poverty, marginalization, illiteracy and unemployment. The environmental degradation caused by the ongoing armed conflict and the acts of violence has contributed to lowering the standard of living of farmers who account for virtually all of the area's population.

Now in its ninth year, the crises in north east Nigeria remains one of the most sever in the world. In the three worst affected states of Borno, Adamawa and Yoba, 1.8 million people are internally displaced and human rights violations continue to be reported daily. Since military operations began in October 2017, the trend of new arrivals coming to accessible locations across Borno state has increased significantly, and at an alarming rate that has overwhelmed the capacity of humanitarian agencies. Borno, which is the most affected state in north-eastern Nigeria, continues to host the highest number of IDPs with 1,441,870 displaced persons (NIP 2019), and over 60% of them are living in host communities, making it harder to access them with assistance and putting additional pressure on the already stretched resources of these communities.

Many IDPs are still staying in unofficial shelters, unfinished buildings and makeshift accommodation, which are not under the coordination of the Government. The largest concentrations of displaced people staying in such locations are found in the newly liberated areas. Many of the communal and makeshift shelters are overcrowded and unsuitable in terms of water and sanitation facilities, cooking and privacy, especially for women. Furthermore, already poor host communities have been sharing resources with one of the largest IDP populations in the world for more than twelve months with little support and are now relying on negative coping strategies after savings and assets have been used up, which could lead to secondary displacement of IDPs. Monguno and Ngala are considered less privileged and the most deprived areas.

During the insurgency crises, both towns were destructed and devasted. Besides the situation, both locations are hosting a huge influx of IDPs, displaced from the outskirts and fled to seek safe and secure places to take shelters. Increasing insurgency in the areas forced the local communities to flee and seek safe and secure place for shelters which caused a huge influx of IDPs in the project focused areas. Most of the IDPs do not have access to safe and secure places even many of them are unregistered and are unable to receive humanitarian assistance from the service providers. The security situation is quite uncertain and volatile but despite these facts they are compelled to live in insecure places without having shelters.

General purpose of the position

The Project Manager will oversee the activities, Administrative, HR and Logistics component of the project, ensuring operations quality, strategic programming and planning, as well as strategic growth and strong external and internal representation and advocacy.
