COMMUNITY BASE PROTECTION NETWORK AND MONITORING

Last year, 2019 our organization, with the help of our partners intervened in IDPs Camps in Maiduguri, Borno State. Nigeria. Over 500 hundred households were assisted with NFI and Dignity Kits in Ajilari IDP Camp in Jere LGA of Borno State, Nigeria with a Community Base Approach method of Protection, where beneficiaries are allowed to participate in identifying the Protection risk, threat, challenges… in the community and also participate in making recommendable decision on how best these issues can be mitigated.

Doing so, we as Humanitarian workers have a simple task ahead in our approach; ensuring that the SPHERE STANDARD is duly followed to the later, right and dignity being restored to the vulnerable in the Community where we deliver our services.
