The DREF is a vital part of the International Federation’s disaster response system and increases the ability of national societies to respond to disasters. CHF 153’000 (USD 134,692 or EUR 91,665) has been allocated from the Federation’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to support the national society in delivering immediate assistance to some thousands of beneficiaries. Unearmarked funds to repay DREF are encouraged. Summary: The Nigerian Red Cross Society (NRCS), through its health action teams, is intervening in the measles outbreak in Zaria Local Government Area in the northern part of Nigeria. The outbreak has claimed the lives of about 200 children in the past few days. To complement the efforts of the government in preventing the disease from spreading other areas, the Nigerian Red Cross Society is planning to train and retrain its team of health volunteers in the mobilization of the communities for immunization and in Map of Nigeria carrying out health education among the community people with the aim of reducing child mortality and morbidity. This operation is expected to be implemented over two months, and will therefore be completed by 11 February, 2008; a Final Report will be made available by 11 May 2008 (three months after the end of the operation).

    FLASH REPORT: POPULATION DISPLACEMENT DTM North Central Nigeria - Igabi LGA (Kaduna State) Nigeria 23 March 2021 OVERVIEW Nigeria's North Central and North West Zones are afflicted with a mul�dimensional crisis that is rooted in long-standing tensions between ethnic and religious groups and involves a�acks by criminal groups and banditry/hirabah (such as kidnapping and grand larceny along major highways). The crisis has accelerated during the past years because of the intensifica�on of a�acks and has resulted in widespread displacement across the region. Between 13 and 21 March, the fear of a�acks by bandits have led to a fresh wave of popula�on displacement. Following these events, a rapid assessment was conducted by DTM (Displacement Tracking Matrix) field staff with the purpose of informing the humanitarian community and government partners, and enable targeted response. Flash reports u�lise direct observa�on and a broad network of key informants to gather representa�ve data and collect informa�on on the number, profile and immediate needs of affected popula�ons.

E-mail: [email protected] Received: December 23, 2018 Accepted: January 22, 2018 Online Published: May 14, 2018 doi:10.5539/enrr.v8n2p116 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/enrr.v8n2p116 Abstract Infrastructural development is considered one of the key steps towards economic advancement and prosperity, although the ecological basis of such intent is often not enshrined in the policies of governments, especially in most developing nations. Thus, infrastructural development has further increased fragmentation of ecologically-rich landscapes, causing biodiversity losses, reduced specie richness and diversity and climate change. Hence, the need for green infrastructure development. This study made use of Geographic Information System (GIS) tool to explore areas with high Ecological Connectivity Index (ECI) that could (easily) support green infrastructure development in Kaduna State in the face of climate change impacts which is already ravaging the region. Kaduna State land use/cover map and Aster GDTM elevation data were acquired, processed and analyzed using ArcGIS 10.5 software. A spatial model was developed that made use of the combination of elevation, slope and land use/cover data of the State via Multi-Criteria Evaluation (MCE) to reveal potentially viable and ecologically-rich areas of the State and the most efficient links between such areas.

II (Mar. 2017), PP 25-31 www.iosrjournals.org Sugarcane Farmers’ Perception, Challenges and Response to Climate Change in Kaduna State, Nigeria 1Suleiman Musa Balarabe, 2Ikpe Elisha and 3Mohammed Dayyabu 1Department of Local Government and Development Studies, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria 2Department of Geography, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria 3Department of General Studies, Nuhu Bamalli Polytechnic, Zaria Abstract: Sugarcane production is important to the economic development of Kaduna State. It has contributed greatly in creating employment and serving as sources of income to farmers and the government. However, like other parts of the world, sugarcane production in Kaduna state is greatly affected by climate change. This paper therefore focused on the perception, challenges and response by sugarcane farmers to climate change in Lere Local Government Area of Kaduna State. A total of 200 farmers were randomly sampled and administered questionnaire in the Local Government Area. The results were summarized and presented by means of frequencies and percentages in tabular forms and charts. The study revealed that 58% of the farmers have perceived the continuous increase in temperature which has positively increased sugarcane growth during the dry season, although, such temperature increase has resulted in increased irrigation needs; prevalence of weeds, diseases and insect pests of sugarcane; increase in rainfall amount in recent years has resulted to devastating floods which usually destroyed most of the sugarcane farms and sometimes washed away the entire farmlands along the floodplains; water stress is experienced during the dry season.

The findings marked the continuing of an authentic source of information on the status of education in Kaduna State. It serves as a major tool for providing information to assess progress in the implementation of our Education Sector Plan (ESP) using a set of monitoring indicators. In addition, it also serves as a reference document for proper planning and budgeting for the education sector, particularly the Medium Term Sector Strategy (MTSS). In continuation of this process, and as a way of institutionalizing the Education Management and Information System (EMIS), the 2013/2014 ASC was conducted to update the existing information. The conduct of the 2013/2014 ASC was financed by the SMoE. The DFID-funded Education Sector Support Program in Nigeria (ESSPIN) supported the training of the Enumerators as well as the sensitization of the Education Secretaries on the need to support the conduct of a credible census. I wish to congratulate the Education Management and Information System Unit of the Department of Planning, Research and Statistics in the SMoE, Our special thanks go to our development partners, particularly ESSPIN and SESP, for their continuous technical and financial support for the implementation of reform programmes in the education sector.
