The Federal Government and the humanitarian community have launched North East Nigeria Humanitarian Response Plan for 2021.
The plan seeks $1 billion to enable partners provide critical services to the 6.4 million most vulnerable people – among 8.7 million people in need of humanitarian assistance this year.
Longstanding insecurity and violence, compounded by climate change, and the impact of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) are increasing the vulnerability of close to nine million people. About two million people are internally-displaced, millions of people depend on humanitarian partners for basic services, and up to 5.1 million people face hunger in the lean season – the worst outlook in four years.
