Integrated Protection Mobile Service Delivery Guidance for Lake Chad Program 481 views4 applications


1- context

The protracted crisis in the Lake Chad Basin region remains one of the most severe humanitarian emergencies in the world, affecting the North East of Nigeria, the Far North region of Cameroon, the Lake region of Chad and the Diffa region in Niger. More than 17 million people are living in the affected areas across the four countries. 10.7 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance to survive, more than 6 million of them are children. The crisis has unfolded in a region beset by chronic fragility where poverty, underdevelopment, gender inequality, unemployment and a lack of prospects for young people fuel extremism. This is compounded by environmental degradation and the impact of climate change.

Protection issues are of grave concern with evidence of violence against children as well as all worst forms of child labor. Women and girls face unabated gender based violence.

GFFO funded a regional project covering Cameroon, Niger and Nigeria which ended in the second half of 2018. To strengthen the achievements of these project, a 3-year regional project covering the three countries and running from 2018 to 2021 started on 1st November 2018. Within the project framework, it is planned to develop Integrated Protection Mobile Service Delivery Guidance and accompanying tools/resources which is going to be used during the implementation of the project.

The present document outlines the terms of reference of the study.

2- objectives

During the last quarter of the project, the lessons learned documented throughout the implementation of the project will serve to review the guideline and produce the second version.
