2 January to June 2017 PERIODIC MONITORING REPORT Nigeria FOREWORD This Periodic Monitoring Report covers the first six months of implementation of the 2017 Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP). The operational environment was generally affected by an increase in attacks, especially in communities and/or within and near camps for internally displaced persons (IDPs), particularly in Borno State. The influx of refugees returning from Cameroon during the second quarter of the year also had an impact on the overall humanitarian needs and response. Food insecurity also increased the number of people in need based on the outcome of the March 2017 Cadre Harmonisé which indicated a surge in food insecure people during the lean season, from June to August The figures for displaced persons and those who have returned to their place of origin (IDP returnees) for this report have been sourced from the June 2017 Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) XVII. The DTM is a joint regular monitoring conducted by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) with the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA). The refugee-returnee figures were provided by the Protection sector, under the leadership of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Cognizant of the potential risks of the rainy season, the humanitarian community developed an inter-agency contingency plan (IACP) for Borno State that captured priority actions for relevant sectors to ensure a timely response during the season. The IACP is referred to in this report but can be separately accessed through 2

6 January to June 2017 PERIODIC MONITORING REPORT Nigeria Periodic Monitoring Report 2017 Humanitarian Response Plan - Nigeria Covering January to June 2017 Prepared by the Inter-Sector Coordination Group for the Humanitarian Country Team FUNDING: 1.05 billion ($US) Required 36% of total requirement million ($US) Received Source: Financial Tracking Service (FTS) as of 30 June 2017 CONTENTS: Overview... 6 Changes in context Humanitarian context Needs analysis Response capacity Strategic objectives: achievements-to-date Strategic Objective Strategic Objective Strategic Objective Analysis Funding analysis Challenges Contingency/preparedness plans Analysis of achievements against funding and challenges Recommendations Sector achievements Food Security Nutrition Health Protection Gender-Based Violence Child Protection Emergency Shelter/NFI Education WASH Early Recovery CCCM Coordination and common services Logistics Emergency telecommunications OVERVIEW Key achievements toward the strategic objectives For the implementation of the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) in 2017, the HCT achieved the following: million individuals, approximately 77 per cent, have benefitted from food assistance through in-kind and cash/voucher interventions; - Approximately 1.1 million people accessed clean and safe water, representing 57 per cent of target; - 39,000 households were provided with non-food item (NFI) kits, or about 43 per cent of the target; - 340,000 vulnerable individuals were screened, registered and monitored for enhanced humanitarian and Protection services; - 400,000 individuals, or 61 per cent of target, were biometrically registered; million patients were provided with outpatient consultations in health facilities across the priority states of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe; - 380,000 individuals, representing 25 per cent of target, were supported with activities to recover, restore or protect their livelihoods; out of 200 target health facilities were provided with essential medicines and equipment to improve health service delivery in affected areas. Challenges - Ongoing conflict remains an impediment to operations that continues to limit humanitarian access; - The rainy season is slowing down access by road to certain areas. While most of the areas outside of Maiduguri are only accessible by air, the weather conditions also affect air travel. With the humanitarian hubs not yet established in most of these areas, humanitarian agencies are not able to provide continued interventions; - Increased needs due to unplanned returns from Cameroon are depleting already overstretched resources to accommodate more IDPs, causing tensions within receiving communities and increasing risk of disease outbreaks; - Low funding in some sectors has adversely affected implementation. Recommendations - Strengthen CMCoord engagements to facilitate access and build on local capacities to enhance humanitarian service delivery; - Implement the inter-agency contigency plan (IACP) to ensure needs are responded to despite weather conditions and access impediments; - Enhance inter-sector and regional cooperation to minimize involuntary returns as well as manage return reception in-country; - The HC should continue to lead resource mobilization efforts to ensure that critical life-saving interventions are carried out in an effective and efficient manner, following global sectoral standards; - Maximize the opportunity to build national capacities and support the humanitarian-development nexus. 6

11 Nigeria PERIODIC MONITORING REPORT January to June 2017 CHANGES IN CONTEXT Humanitarian context The rainy season is significantly affecting humanitarian access as some roads are impassable 1. Air transport to newly accessible areas is also affected by poor weather conditions; in worst cases, helicopter services are cancelled, leaving humanitarian staff stranded in the areas or rescheduling their missions. As security remains unpredictable, the rainy season has affected the military s mobility to pursue non-state armed groups. An increase in the number of attacks directly against the military and Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) members has caused secondary displacements and hampered humanitarian access. On a related note, the rainy season is affecting the establishment of the humanitarian hubs and the focus is currently on the humanitarian hub in Dikwa to be finalized by mid-july. The remaining hubs will be set up in Damboa, Damasak and Banki after the rainy season 2. Emergency telecommunication services set-up is deferred until after the rainy season in the following hubs: Dikwa, Monguno, Damasak, Damboa and Banki. About 5.2 million people are expected to face critical food insecurity during this lean season (June to August), with more than 50,000 people living in famine-like conditions. The current food crisis can relapse into a serious famine if required funding is not sustained 3. The frequent attacks on roads linking major markets in parts of southern Borno and northern Adamawa as well as lack of civilian access to some parts of northern Borno have caused deterioration in the functioning of some markets. Markets in these areas are either non-functioning or functioning at minimal level 4. As the nutrition situation is closely linked to food insecurity, the reduced food availability during the lean season is expected to contribute to increase in the number of children admitted into the community-based management of acute malnutrition (CMAM) programme. Admissions for CMAM are expected to increase during the lean season 5. The unexpected returns of refugees from Cameroon are further straining the overstretched resources in border LGAs in Borno State such as Pulka, Banki and Gwoza among others. Between April and June, more than 14,000 Nigerian refugees returned from Cameroon through Banki. Refugee-returnees often arrive in a precarious state, lacking most basic life necessities, including shelter, food and water. There is congestion in camps where the returnees are received, in particular in Banki and Pulka; to remedy, the Borno State Government and humanitarian partners are assessing response capacity for relocating up to 20,000 IDPs to two new camps to be established in Bama and Gwoza, where support from humanitarian agencies is also needed. Needs analysis As per Round XVII of the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), issued in June , there are about 1.9 million IDPs in the six 7 north-east states, 93 per cent of whom are in the three worst conflict-affected states of Borno (79 per cent), Adamawa (8 per cent) and Yobe (6 per cent). The number of IDPs shows a slight decrease of about 3 per cent from DTM Round XVI of May 2017 which indicated about 1,884,331 IDPs. On the other hand, the number of returnees as per DTM Round XVII showed a total of 1,257,911 individuals or 204,443 households, which represents an increase of 2 per cent or about 23,017 from the previous DTM round. The statistics show that while the IDPs need urgent lifesaving interventions, there are growing needs among families who have returned to their places of origin in the midst of an unpredictable security situation. More than 14,000 Nigerian refugees returned from Cameroon through Banki between April and June. Many of them have moved on to Pulka and Gwoza in Borno State. Many of these returnees are in a precarious state, lacking most basic life necessities, including shelter, food and water. The returnee situation is particularly concerning in Pulka, where more than 30,000 people are surviving on five liters of water per person per day a far cry from the 1 E.g.

12 January to June 2017 PERIODIC MONITORING REPORT Nigeria humanitarian minimum standard of 15 liters. Most recently, 887 refugees (living in host communities in Mora, Cameroon) returned to Pulka on 27 June. These refugees were evacuated by Cameroon s Governor of Mora, due to growing insecurity in Mora where there had been 12 person-borne improvised explosive device (PBIED) attacks in Kolofata in a span of eight days. The first Tripartite Agreement Commission is due to meet in August. Based on the findings of a joint mission 8 assessment, the 25 per cent reduction in food rations and water supply shut-down in Minawao Camp in Cameroon were likely major factors for some of the returns. A total of 361,145 individuals or 81,367 households were registered with the National Immigration Services (NIS) as refugee-returnees 9. With the onset of the raining season, in Borno State, strong winds and heavy rains caused serious damage to structures in camps and camp-like settings. Out of the 44 camps assessed, 12 camps were affected by damage to shelters and facilities and 10 camps experienced flash flooding in Maiduguri Metropolitan Council (MMC), Jere and Konduga LGAs 10. The food security situation continues to deteriorate. According to the March 2017 Cadre Harmonisé projections, 5.2 million people are expected to face critical food insecurity during this lean season (June to August), with more than 50,000 people living in famine-like conditions. The current response gap for the Food Security sector (FSS) is at 74 per cent, which led the sector to reprioritize needs and response in addition to cutting rations in certain areas 11. According to DTM round XVII, three LGAs in Borno State remain inaccessible -- Abadam, Guzamala and Marte -- making the humanitarian needs in those locations largely unknown. Response capacity By the end of June 2017, there are 71 humanitarian partners (both government and Non-governmental) delivering assistance in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe. Some partners are working in one or more states. In line with the stategy of establishing of hubs outside of Maiduguri in Borno State to boost the overall response capacity, a Hubs Task Force was constituted to ensure that this initiative is implemented. Ongoing efforts include the procurement of prefabs and a security upgrade for the Maiduguri hub; the development of modalities for use of the newly-opened Gwoza hub; the imminent completion of the Bama hub; the obtention of the security clearance for Ngala and ground breaking for Dikwa. Planning continues for Monguno, Damboa, Damasak, and Banki. 8 Mission by UNHCR, the Government of Nigeria and the Government of Cameroon to border camps in Cameroon and Nigeria. 9 UNHCT Nigeria - Refugee Returnee Dashboard, June IOM Rapid Assessment on storm damage to IDP sites, June Also mentioned in the Funding Analysis section. 12

13 Nigeria PERIODIC MONITORING REPORT January to June 2017 STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES: ACHIEVEMENTS-TO-DATE Strategic Objective 1: Support life-saving activities and alleviate suffering through an integrated and coordinated humanitarian response focusing on the most vulnerable people. Progress toward Strategic Objective 1 Strategic Objective 1 aims at providing life-saving interventions on food, nutrition, safe water, shelter and non-food items. The Food Security sector (FSS) has reached 3.3 million individuals with food assistance, representing 45 per cent of its target, through in-kind and cash modalities. Among individuals with severe acute malnutrition (SAM), about 80 per cent of those admitted and discharged had recovered, meeting the target of more than 75 per cent. Out of the 3.8 million vulnerable people targeted with clean and safe water, approximately 57 per cent or 1.1 million individuals have benefitted from the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) interventions. Emergency shelter kits were delivered and benefitted about 12,313 households, representing 29 per cent of the total target. Non-food items (NFI), both through in-kind and voucher modalities, were delivered to 38,632 households or about 43 per cent of the total target of 89,990.

14 January to June 2017 PERIODIC MONITORING REPORT Nigeria Strategic Objective 2: Enhance access to humanitarian assistance and Protection services through principled humanitarian action Progress toward Strategic Objective 2 Strategic Objective 2 focuses on interventions whereby vulnerable people are able to access assistance and Protection services which are delivered in a manner consistent with humanitarian principles. The Protection sector had reached 90 per cent of its target or about 337,334 vulnerable people screened, registered or monitored. The Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) sector, otherwise known in Nigeria as Displacement Management Systems (DMS), had biometrically registered 395,870 individuals or about 61 per cent of its target for the year. About 25 per cent of the target or about 1,449,732 individuals had accessed health facilities supported by Health sector partners through out-patient consultations.

The FSS assisted about 378,604 individuals, representing 25 per cent of its 2017 target, through agro-production support to recover and restore livelihoods. Out of the 200 health facilities targeted by the Health sector, 144 received essential medicines and equipment to better serve IDPs and host communities. In addition, as of 30 June, the Protection sector had assisted 4,465 out 22,000 targeted individuals with livelihood support, meeting 20 per cent of its target. The generally low levels of achievement for this objective is due to low levels of funding for early recovery activities Indicators: targets vs. results-to-date INDICATORS IN NEED TARGET ACHIEVEMENTS Number of people supported through activities to recover, restore and protect livelihoods Number of health facilities servicing IDPs and host community receiving essential medicines and equipment Number of vulnerable persons provided with livelihood support Number of persons reached through peace-building, coexistence and reintegration interventions COVERAGE AS OF END JUNE 5.1 million 1.5 million 378,604 25% % 26,400 22,000 4,465 20% N/A 10, % 15

16 January to June 2017 PERIODIC MONITORING REPORT Nigeria ANALYSIS Funding analysis The 2017 Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) appeals for $1.05 billion to reach 6.9 million people out of the 8.5 million in need in the three priority states of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe. At the end of June 2017, the HRP is funded at $377.9 million or about 36 per cent of the total requirement for the year. About $676 million remains unfunded, leaving some key sectors critically underfunded. As of June, the World Food Programme (WFP) and its implementing partners were forced to suspend food distributions in four local government areas (LGAs), namely Nganzai and Kaga in Borno and Nguru and Potiskum in Yobe, due to funding shortages. The Response and Recovery Planning sector, responsible for the transition from humanitarian to longterm recovery, received only 0.1 per cent of its funding requirements by end of June 14. In 2017, a country-based pooled fund, the Nigeria Humanitarian Fund (NHF), was established to help boost the response and provide timely allocations of funds to frontline responders. As of 30 June, the NHF has raised $20.2 million, with an additional $2.4 million pledged; the first allocation is planned for July In the first quarter of the year, Nigeria received an allocation from the Central Emergency Relief Fund (CERF) of $22 million through the under-funded (UFE) window. The HCT prioritised this allocation for the Health, WASH, Nutrition and Protection sectors as well as the establishment of the hubs. In June, to avert famine in the north-east, Nigeria was included in the CERF Rapid Response priority countries and was allocated $10 million to speed up response and fill any pressing gaps 15. Funding: required vs. received-to-date (million $) $1.05 billion $377.9 million 36% Total required Total received including CERF: $22 million NHF: $20 million Total funded Unmet: $676.5 million 14 Financial Tracking Service (fts.unocha.org). 15 Nigeria is among the four countries identified with famine-like conditions, with Somalia, Yemen and South Sudan. 16

Over 8 per cent of Borno State is considered high or very high risk for international humanitarian actors. By the end of June, three LGAs in Borno (Abadam, Guzamala and Marte) remained completely inaccessible. The security situation, particularly attacks by non-state armed groups, has worsened in the last month. The rainy season has slowed down military activities which has enabled more attacks against civilians by non-state armed groups to take place, as well as attacks against Nigerian military and CJTF, resulting in new and secondary displacements. The rainy season is rendering many roads impassable and also affecting access to most areas in the north-east which are only accessible by air as bad weather conditions are preventing helicopters from flying, causing staff to be stranded for days without proper and secured accommodation. As long as humanitarian hubs are not completed in the selected deep field locations of the north-east, humanitarian agencies are not able to provide continued interventions and staff security is always at risk whenever they are deployed. Unplanned returns from Cameroon and other cross-border movements have led to increased needs, further depleting already overstretched resources to accommodate additional IDPs, causing tensions and increased risk of disease outbreaks in receiving communities. More than 14,000 Nigerian refugees returned from Cameroon to Banki between April and June of this year. Many of them have moved to Pulka, Gwoza and Bama. Of the total number of registered 16 returnees, about 6 per cent especially from Cameroon had returned involuntarily. The returnee situation is particularly concerning in Pulka, where more than 30,000 people are surviving on five liters of water per person per day a far cry from the humanitarian minimum standard of 15 liters. Likewise, the competition over resources increases the risk of tensions and violence between the returnees/idps and host communities. The lack of proper WASH services and facilities, compounded with congested shelters, continues to heighten the risk of outbreaks of communicable diseases About 361,145 individuals/returnees were registered through the Nigeria Immigration Services (NIS) since August 2016 as per UNHCR Refugee Returnee Dashboard, June Particularly during the rainy season. 17

18 January to June 2017 PERIODIC MONITORING REPORT Nigeria Low funding in certain sectors is adversely affecting the implementation of activities, in terms of scale and quality of response. The Response and Recovery sector, instrumental in fulfilling the third HRP strategic objective of building resilience and restoring livelihoods and basic services is only 0.1 per cent funded. The Protection sector is also only 27 per cent funded as of the end of June. These low funding levels are negatively affecting the quality of response. For instance, for the Protection sector, psycho-social support is being delivered at an average of $15 per child against the recommended $150 per child; case management at an average of $80 per individual against the recommended $320; and reintegration support services at an average of $150 per person against the recommended standard of $650. In addition to humanitarian needs of IDPs, which are massive, there are about 1.3 million returnees also in need of basic services in their areas of return. However, the funding received so far is heavily focused on assising IDPs rather than supporting returnees, which also explains the low achievements against targets of the HRP s Strategic Objective 3. Contingency/preparedness plans In preparation for the onset of the lean and rainy season, humanitarian partners have developed preparedness and response plans for Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states, focusing on potential food insecurity and risks of disease outbreaks 18. The Inter-Agency Contingency Plan (IACP), covering June to September 2017, was finalised based on a multi-sectorial and multi-agency gap analysis as well as the Humanitarian Response Plan. The four-month period overlaps with what is traditionally a lean and flooding season in the areas identified by the sectors. The IACP highlights priority areas where additional funding is urgently needed for the rainy and lean season to enable an efficient response to the identified needs. Under this plan, 11 sectors have identified key areas of response and costed the required response at $115 million and preparedness activities at $30 million. The Food Security and Nutrition sectors require the largest amount approximately $102 million, to enable a rapid life-saving delivery of aid. Correspondingly, the preparedness plan jointly developed by the Food Security and Nutrition sectors requires $18.5 million for the four-month period. Analysis of achievements, against funding and challenges The achievements in this report reflect the actual humanitarian response based on current funding levels and other impediments to the operations. While many challenges have been hampering operations, one way or another, the HCT under the leadership of the HC, continued to look for ways to overcome the challenges through a strategic engagement with the Government of Nigeria (GoN), donors and other stakeholders in and outside the country. While the 2017 HRP has shown significant progress against Strategic Objectives 1 and 2, more work needs to be done on Strategic Objective 3 to support livelihoods 19 and reach vulnerable people through peace-building, coexistence and reintegration interventions 20. The level of response was attributed to the low levels of funding received by each sector in addition to access constraints that limited the full deployment of staff and the ability to reach conflictaffected people in the hotspots of the crisis. During this period, the HC and DHC proactively led the humanitarian community in raising awareness, active Government engagement and mobilising resources for the humanitarian crisis in the north-east. In February, the joint leadership of the Government of Nigeria and of the humanitarian community helped convene the Oslo Humanitarian Conference on Nigeria and the Lake Chad Region, where 14 donors pledged $672 million ($460 million for 2017) for Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria. Between 60 to 65 per cent of pledges made during the Oslo Conference have been disbursed. The Nigeria Humanitarian Fund was immediately funded out of the Oslo Conference commitments, thus enabling a Humanitarian Financing Unit (HFU), under OCHA s management, to be set up in April for the launch of the NHF s first standard allocation. In May, the HC and DHC went on missions to New York, Washington D.C. and Europewhere they received clear indications of renewed international interest, awareness and genuine international 18 i.e. malaria, cholera, cerebrospinal meningitis and other related diseases, 19 Only 20 per cent of the target was achieved in the first semester of Only 1 per cent of this target was achieved in the first semester of

19 Nigeria PERIODIC MONITORING REPORT January to June 2017 support to end the Lake Chad Basin crisis. There were also various expressions of recognition and appreciation for the work done in north-east Nigeria by all humanitarian partners. Several high-level missions were initiated by the HCT in 2017 to boost humanitarian operations. In January, a special mission from the Funding Coordination Section of OCHA supported the HCT to assess the feasibility of establishing the Nigeria Humanitarian Fund (NHF), a country-based pooled fund launched by the Emergency Relief Coordinator during the Oslo Humanitarian Conference on Nigeria and the Lake Chad Region in February The UN Security Council s (UNSC) mission to Nigeria in March was also instrumental in mobilising sufficient political engagement and strengthened collective and comprehensive regional support in line with the commitments made during the Oslo conference. UNSC Resolution 2349 was adopted by end of March, following the mission. A Civil-Military Coordination (CMCoord) mission was conducted between 27 March and 7 April that was instrumental in shaping the CMCoord action plan for the northeast as well as the engagement strategy with the Nigerian security forces. Between 3 and 14 April, a United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) mission was conducted to assess the risks and threats of unexploded ordinances (UXOs), improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and remnants of war and issue recommendations on mitigating measures. A two-week peer-to-peer support 21 mission took place in June focusing on leadership and coordination, delivery, protection, and early recovery and development in Nigeria to support the Humanitarian Coordinator and enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the humanitarian response. Despite insecurity and access constraints, coordination structures have been significantly strengthened. The new terms of reference for the Inter-Sector Working Group (ISWG) were approved by the HCT in June, reconfiguring the composition and roles of the Nigeria ISWG based in Abuja and the Operational ISWG (OISWG) based in Maiduguri. This reconfiguration echos and complements the current set-up of the Operational HCT (OHCT) in Maiduguri and the HCT in Abuja. Other milestones in coordination during the reporting period is the establishment of the local-level coordination mechanism, meant to enhance the coordination between partners at LGA-level, and improve the efficiency and targeting of the response locally. The designated LGA-coordination focal points are responsible for ensuring proper communication of area-specific needs and gaps with the OISWG for rapid action, or elevating the issues to the OHCT and/or HCT. OCHA designated full-time Humanitarian Affairs Officers s to support the roll-out of the mechanism. The support of the Government has been instrumental in enabling the humanitarian community to scale up its operations, as well as maximizing the limited resources available. The support of the President as well as the active involvement of the State governments had been essential. Based on the March 2017 Cadre Harmonisé projections, 5.2 million people are expected to face critical food insecurity during the lean season (June to August), with more than 50,000 people living in famine-like conditions. The current food crisis could become a serious famine situation if the required funding is not delivered. The current Food Security sector response gap is 74 per cent, which forced to the sector to reprioritize its response and cut rations in certain areas. The looming famine-like situation required a rapid injection of funds from the Central Emergency Relief Fund (CERF) amounting to $10 million, that included support to direct food assistance and support to enablers to expedite service delivery in hard-to-reach areas. In June, the Government of Nigeria (GoN) launched a Special Relief Intervention for the north-east under the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), in partnership with the State Emergency Management Agencies (SEMA), the World Food Programme (WFP) and other partners. The programme aims to distribute30,000 metric tonnes of mixed local grains over a three-month period to about 1.8 million beneficiaries. The GoN has announced its intention to deliver this assistance quarterly. Humanitarian actors, such as WFP and OCHA, provided reporting and coordination support to prevent overlap and duplication and ensure the utmost impact of the GoN-led intervention. To address the growing concern over the recent influx of refugees returning, a High-Level Task Force on Returns was established in Borno State. It is comprised of the Deputy Governor of Borno State and other Government/military officials, as well as various UN Agencies and NGOs. The Task Force meets regularly to tackle the issues related to the returns of refugees from Cameroon and other neighbouring countries. Recommendations To ensure continued access to areas outside of Maiduguri during the rainy season and poor weather conditions, CMCoord engagements with the Nigeria military need to be sustained. Practical operational protocols need to be 21 Formerly called Senior Transformative Agenda Implementation Team (STAIT) 19

20 January to June 2017 PERIODIC MONITORING REPORT Nigeria utilized to expedite access, including streamlining internal UN security procedures. Moreover, to ensure that services are provided to the people in need, local/community-based organizations can be leveraged to enhance service delivery. In addition to actually being physically present in the hotspot areas, these organisations are also a valuable resource to assess first-hand the security situation on the ground. With the IACP completed, the time for implementation has come to ensure that needs are addressed adequately despite poor weather conditions and access impediments. The plan outlines the foreseen risks and threats with corresponding actions for each sector. The conditions in reception areas of IDP camps are deplorable. Immediate assistance in terms of food, WASH, shelter, protection and health, among others, are needed. Ad-hoc assistance is being provided by humanitarian partners to cope with new arrivals, but resources are overstretched and this will not be sustainable. A multi-sectorial response is required to provide a more holistic response with greater impact on alleviating the living conditions of the affected people. At the regional level, inter-government collaboration needs to be strengthened to minimize involuntary returns as well enabling actors on the Nigerian side to prepare for any influxes of refugees returning and avoid unnecessary secondary displacements. The operationalization of the Tripartite agreement between Nigeria, Cameroon and UNHCR is underway to enable a smoother return process for Nigerian refugees. The first Tripartite Agreement Commission meeting is planned for August. The HC continues to lead resource mobilization efforts to ensure critical life-saving interventions are carried out in an effective and efficient manner, following global sectorial standards. While some notable gains have been made on raising international awareness on the north-east Nigeria humanitarian crisis and increasing donor support, the HCT needs to sustain resource mobilization efforts to ensure that pledges are actually translated into disbursements. The Response andrecovery Planning sector (known globally as the Early Recovery and Livelihoods cluster) is only 0.1 per cent as of the end of June, casing low performance in this field. As of June 2017, the HRP was only 30 per cent funded, and requires more funding so that interventions are scaled-up during the rest of the year. While funding continues to be a challenge, there is huge potential in pursuing the humanitarian-development nexus in Nigeria given the presence of a strong and supportive Government as well as a wide presence of development actors and donors to maximize available resources. Morevoer, many areas in Yobe and Adamawa states are appropriate for recovery and reconstruction, as well as some parts of Borno. The increased presence of development actors, and the collaborative efforts by the humanitarian and development community will help alleviate vulnerability while meeting immediate humanitarian needs. Since humanitarian agencies are already engaging with national organisations, it is vital to support and enhance their capacities to plan the transition of assistance and coordination from being primarily international to being largely Nigerian. The humanitarian response should focus on localization, resilience- and capacity-building initiatives. 20

From January to June 2017, the average number of individuals reached per month with food assistance was 2,302,603 against the target of 3 million people as per sector objective 1. The second sector objective centres on improving household agricultural production. Under this objective, some 1.8 million individuals are targeted to receive agro-based production inputs. From January to May, the average was about 77,000 individuals reached per month. In June, however, about 1,171,011 individuals were reached, which is to be expected as rainy season interventions began in earnest. In total, the sector reached 88 per cent of the 1.8 million people targeted. Similarly, the objective on supporting 1.5 million people to recover, restore, and protect livelihoods particularly during the rainy season/planting season was reached. The target of 250,000 farmers trained on agriculture production techniques, methods, and practices was exceeded as there were 362,979 farmers trained by end of June. 21
