Nigeria Multi-Sector Needs Assessment (MSNA) 2020 - Inter-Sectoral Factsheet - Key Findings, Yobe State
Format
CONTEXT
North East Nigeria continues to experience significant humanitarian needs after over 11 years of conflict affecting the Lake Chad region. The 2020 Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO) identified 7.9 million individuals in the three states of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe (collectively, the “BAY” states) to be in need of humanitarian assistance.
To respond to persisting information gaps on humanitarian needs severity and to inform response planning, United Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA)’s Inter-Sector Working Group (ISWG), with support from REACH, conducted a Multi-Sector Needs Assessment (MSNA) in the BAY States. The MSNA aimed to identify and compare needs by sector and across sectors, across population groups affected by the protracted crisis and in all accessible areas in the BAY states.
Nigeria 2020 Multi-Sector Needs Assessment - Executive Summary
Format
Rationale and Methodology
North East Nigeria continues to experience significant humanitarian needs, following over 11 years of conflict affecting the Lake Chad region. The 2020 Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO) identified 7.9 million individuals in the three states of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe (collectively, the “BAY” states) to be in need of humanitarian assistance. Partners have faced increasing access restrictions to these areas since the middle of 2019. This situation has been further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic since early 2020. As a result, the humanitarian community has experienced decreased capacities to comprehensively identify the scale of needs in North East Nigeria. Providing an updated evidence-based needs overview of populations in the BAY states is, therefore, vital to inform partners’ strategic planning.
