BookletNortheastern Nigeria | Results of the 2017 rainy season programme 2018
Also available in:
No results found.During 2017 rainy season campaign, FAO was able to support 138 801 households (971 607 people) with seeds and fertilizers in Nigeria’s three northeastern States - Adamawa, Borno and Yobe. About 41 percent of beneficiaries were returnees, 38 percent were host families and 21 percent were IDPs. Overall, 47 percent of all beneficiaries were women, and 25 percent of beneficiary heads of households were women. Thanks to the support provided, a 21 percent and a 62 percent increase in productivity were recorded for cereal and vegetable production, respectively. Improved agricultural production in the northeastern Nigeria was recorded, particularly for maize, millet and rice, as well as a 10 percent increase in cultivated land compared with 2016. All food security indicators among FAO beneficiaries have also considerably improved. According to the latest Cadre Harmonisé analysis (November 2017), the food security situation in the country’s three northeastern States affected by the Boko Haram insurgency has significantly improved, with a 45 percent decrease in the number of people food insecure compared with March 2017. -
DocumentNortheastern Nigeria Situation Report – June 2017 2017
Also available in:
No results found.Since 2013, extreme violence provoked by the Boko Haram insurgency has caused widespread devastation across northeastern Nigeria and forced 1.83 million people to flee their homes and abandon their livelihoods (International Organization for Migration, Displacement Tracking Matrix XV, March 2017). The latest Cadre Harmonisé (CH) analysis conducted in March 2017 shows that 4. 7 million people are currently severely food insecure (March to May) in the three northeastern states of Adamawa, Borno an d Yobe, with 44 000 facing catastrophe (CH Phase 5). This is expected to further deteriorate during the coming lean season (June to August), when 5.2 million people are projected to be severely food insecure (CH Phases 3+), 50 000 of whom will face catastrophe if adequate support is not provided in time. Ongoing conflict and attacks have prevented households from conducting their livelihoods, particularly agriculture and livestock production, and from accessing markets and basic services. Howeve r, with over 1 million returnees and most IDPs in accessible areas having access to land, sufficient agricultural support is critical to enable them to benefit from the coming rainy season, beginning in June 2017. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetNortheastern Nigeria: Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states – Response overview (September 2023) 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The latest Cadre Harmonisé analysis (March 2023) conducted in 26 out of Nigeria’s 36 states, as well as the Federal Capital Territory, estimates that 24.8 million people countrywide were projected to be acutely food insecure during this year’s lean season (June–August 2023), of whom 4.35 million in the three northeastern states, if appropriate assistance is not provided. The planting season started in June in northeastern Nigeria, with farmers mostly engaging in rainfed agricultural practices. Over USD 68 million are urgently required to continue supporting households during the current agricultural season, as well as to begin the procurement of seeds and other inputs in time for the dry season support programme starting in October. Most crisis-affected households in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe are smallholder farmers who depend on agriculture for their livelihoods. Providing them with essential inputs is crucial to the humanitarian response. For example, investing USD 170 in a crop production package enables a farming household of seven people to produce staple food for about a year.
