Introduction The Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) is developed to facilitate joint referral pathway for women, men, boys and girls at risk in the humanitarian operation, including Reception Centers, camps and host communities where the IDPs live. Gender Based Violence (GBV) is a life threatening protection, health, and human rights issue that can have devastating impact on women and children in particular, as well as families and communities. Standard Operating Procedures are developed to facilitate joint action by all actors to respond to GBV in a humanitarian crisis setting. It describes clear procedures, roles, and responsibilities for all actors. Furthermore all organizations listed above agree to the same procedures, guiding principles and working together for the best interest of women, men, boys and girls in the humanitarian setting in YOBE state.

  • Drought Occurrences and Its Implications on the Households in Yobe State, Nigeria Jude Nwafor Eze
    Eze Geoenvironmental Disasters (2018) 5:18 Geoenvironmental Disasters https://doi.org/10.1186/s40677-018-0111-7 RESEARCH Open Access Drought occurrences and its implications on the households in Yobe state, Nigeria Jude Nwafor Eze Abstract The study assesses the extent of droughts and its implications on the households in the study area. This is to highlight the need to integrate drought adaptation options into the government development plans. Strategies for drought adaptation options in the study area have often been made without experimental foundations placed on the extent of drought and its implications on the households. To achieve this, the study employed Normalized Rainfall Index (NRI) to determine the extent of droughts and its implications on the households, which has much to offer in terms of policy decisions. The study also utilized questionnaire administrated to 400 households to determine the annual income from different occupations that yielded more income to the people in the study area using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The NRI shows that the study area was characterized by mild to severe drought events. The first (1986–1995) and third (2006–2017) decades experienced high incidences of droughts, while the second decade (1996–2005), witnessed the least incidences of droughts. The result of the economic activities of the households reveals that 65% of the total household respondents were involved in farming, while 35% were involved in non-farming activities as their major source of livelihood. The analysis of variance on the economic activities that generated more income to the households in Yobe State shows that farming activities provided more opportunities for income generation.

  • Yobe State Situation Analysis June 2020
    Yobe State Humanitarian Situation Analysis | 1 Nigeria-Yobe State Humanitarian Situation Analysis As of 30 June 2020 Context Humanitarian needs in Yobe State increased marginally Targeted People for Humanitarian Aid in 2020 during the reporting period, mainly as a result of an upsurge in attacks by non-state armed groups (NSAG) and clashes between them and government forces displacing local populations. Hazards affecting civilian populations include improvised explosive devices and unexploded ordinance, flash flooding, and COVID-19 pandemic. Flash flooding and windstorms destroyed nearly 400 houses, six public facilities and claimed at least eight lives across the LGAs during the reporting period marking the onset of the rainy season. Populations from inaccessible areas in Yobe and northern Borno State, and Nigerian refugees from the Niger Republic continue to arrive in Gujba, Damaturu, Gashua, and Geidam local government areas (LGAs), due to an upsurge in violence in those areas. The impacts on essential available services due to the influx of new arrivals and the COVID-19 aggravate the situation facing the communities. Also, given stigmatization of people with COVID-19 and an increase in cases in host communities, there are fears that new arrivals, including IDPs and returnee-refugees, might face rejection for fear that they might bring and spread COVID-19. This could potentially result in increased vulnerability for people displaced and returnees. Mitigations strategies such as the Government-imposed border closure and movement restrictions to contain the spread of COVID-19 continue to disrupt agricultural activities and markets. The impact on livelihoods and the economy underlines the need for proactive actions to set up mechanisms that will improve the economic impact of the pandemic.

  • Sightsavers Deworming Program, Nigeria –Yobe State
    Sightsavers deworming program, Nigeria –Yobe State GiveWell: schistosomiasis (SCH) and soil transmitted helminths (STH) project Year two annual report: April 2018 – March 2019 Country: Nigeria Location (region/districts): Yobe State Project goal: The reduction in the prevalence and intensity of schistosomiasis (SCH) in school age children. Project summary Yobe state is situated in the North-East geopolitical zone and has 17 Local Government Areas (LGAs) with an estimated population of 3,122,280 (2018). It shares borders with Borno state to the East, Gombe state to the South, Bauchi and Jigawa states to the West and Niger Republic to the North. The state began its NTD activities in 1996 with the control of onchocerciasis in 12 LGAs. It has since expanded its activities to include control/elimination programmes for lymphatic filariasis (LF), trachoma and sporadic SCH treatments. GiveWell funding has allowed the state to scale-up the SCH activities to meet WHO standards. None of the LGAs are above the WHO-defined prevalence thresholds for soil transmitted helminths (STH) mass drug administration (MDA). April 2018 – March 2019 is the first year of GiveWell funded implementation in Yobe state, despite being in the second year of the overall GiveWell deworming programme. Yobe is one of the four Nigerian states supported by the NGOs CBM and HANDS in the implementation of NTD programmes. Sightsavers implements the Yobe deworming project through these NGO partners at the request of the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH), who identified the funding gap and requested Sightsavers’ support. The result of parasitological surveys conducted in the state in 2013 and 2016 indicated all 17 LGAs are endemic for SCH, with eight at low (≥0 but <10%) and nine at moderate (≥10 but <50%) risk.

  • Nigeria: Yobe State Weekly Situation Report No
    Nigeria: Yobe State Weekly Situation Report No. 11 20 August 2021 This report is compiled by OCHA Nigeria in collaboration with humanitarian partners. Calculation of IDPs does not include recent displacements from Geidam and Yunusari Local Government Areas. Government estimates that about 54,000 IDPs from the two LGAs are still in the places of displacement across 11 LGAs in Yobe while an estimated 126,000 individuals have returned. HIGHLIGHTS • As the lean season and rainy season progresses, food insecurity in Yobe state is also rising. LGAs in the state that are hard to reach are the most vulnerable. • The number of Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD)/Cholera cases continue to rise with 671 cases reported on 20 August 2021. • The Yobe State Government led the World Humanitarian Day celebration on 19 August 2021 along with humanitarian partners in Yobe. • A total of 2,899 households (17,394 persons) living in lowland communities across 11 local government areas (LGAs) in Yobe State have been affected by severe flooding. SITUATION OVERVIEW Increasing vulnerability resulting in rising levels of hunger The combination of conflict, COVID-19, increased food prices and the effects of climate change are pushing people to resort to negative coping mechanisms. This is detrimentally affecting livelihoods and access to food, whether it is the reduction of people’s buying power due to the economic downturn, security instability preventing people from planting and harvesting in open fields, or the condition of the soil and environment due to climate change. Localized herder/farmer conflicts in 8 Local Government Areas (LGAs) in 2020 resulted in the destruction of crops and population displacement.
