Some 2.5 million displaced people are estimated to be displaced in the northeast of Nigeria; of this approximately 75% are in host communities, and 79% consist of women, boys and girls. Over a third of all IDPs are in areas that are not accessible to humanitarian agencies, and given the fluid conflict dynamics, stable areas could become inaccessible in future. Prior to the conflict, despite the absence of state presence and government services, the northeast region was characterised by thriving cross-border trade; however, the conflict and its cross- border impacts have seriously affected economic activities and livelihoods resulting in further ethnic and social tensions in all four countries within the Lake Chad region. Objective The gender assessment seeks to inform and identify the key gender dynamics present within the communities and organizational structure of the consortium. This information will provide valuable gender related direction on how to strategically implement, manage, and structure activities with the goal of ensuring the gender categories of women, men, girls and boys are appropriately responded to, participate adequately to the project and that the response is relevant to their gender specific needs. The gender assessment focused on the key global gender markers informed by global gender mainstreaming guidelines for EU focus areas as per the Commission’s 2010-2015 strategy for equality between women and men1 prioritized five key areas for action: 1. Equal economic independence for women and men; 2. Equal pay for work of equal value; 3. Equality in decision-making; 4. Dignity, integrity and ending gender-based violence;
