Mercy Corps has been present in Nigeria since 2012, focusing its
interventions on women’s empowerment, economic development and conflict
mitigation.
With the insurgency spilling over from the north east of
Nigeria and causing displacement of thousands of individuals, Mercy
Corps has decided to address the rising humanitarian needs among
displaced households and vulnerable host communities by starting its
humanitarian program. With current funding from OFDA, FFP and CERF and
ongoing opportunities from other donors, all Mercy Corps interventions
in the North East are implemented with plans for scale-up.
The current funding opportunity’s goal is to support economic
opportunities and food security among conflict-affected populations in
Gombe State, and to strengthen the capacity of humanitarian agencies and
the quality of information gathering in Nigeria. Expansion into other
affected states is also planned for the humanitarian response team.
