The ACF Nigeria Coverage Assessment Team are grateful to the following for their valuable contributions towards the successful completion of the Kiyawa Local Government Area (LGA) SQUEAC assessment. Firstly, Gunduma Health System Board (GHSB) Jigawa State authorized the implementation of the SQUEAC assessment in Kiyawa LGA. Usman Tahir (Director General GHSB), and Kabir Ibrahim (Director Primary Health Care GHSB) were very supportive throughout the exercise, acting as the link between the State and the CMAM 2 Coverage assessment team. Aisha Aminu Zango, the State Nutrition Officer (SNO), Husaini Ado of National Population Commission (NPopC), Ibrahim Haruna Head of Department (HoD) Kiyawa LGA Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Program and Suleiman Muhammad the Nutrition Focal Person (NFP) of Kiyawa LGA are acknowledged for providing the coverage assessment team with client/beneficiary records, anecdotal program information and the LGA maps. Gloria Njoku, the ACF’s Head of Base, at Dutse office is appreciated for introducing the team to the various stakeholders and giving logisitical support to the SQUEAC investigation team. Peter Magoh the ACF security manager, and Abubakar Kawu (program support officer) conducted a very helpful security and logistics assessment prior to the implementation of the SQUEAC assessment. Abubakar played a key role in logistics and administrative support during the SQUEAC implementation period. Joseph Njau (ACF CMAM Coverage Program Manager) provided technical support in the implementation of the assessment while Sophie Woodhead (of Coverage Monitoring Network team - CMN) gave useful insights in compilation and validation of this SQUEAC report. Ifeanyi Maduanusi (ACF Coverage Deputy Program Manager) led the coverage assessment team in training enumerators, supervision of the assessment and writing of the SQUEAC report. The ACF CMAM Program Coverage Officers (Chika Obinwa, Zulai Abdul Malik, Janet Adeoye and Francis Ogum) led the enumerator teams and were instrumental to ensure the quality of daily SQUEAC study activities. The effort of the enumerators -‘the foot soldiers’ in collecting information during the study is acknowledged. Different stakeholders including health workers, caregivers, traditional and religious leaders, traditional birth attendants and other interviewees who, despite their busy schedule gave very useful information regarding the CMAM Program in Kiyawa LGA are highly appreciated.

  • Rural Non-Farm Income and Inequality in Nigeria
    2. BACKGROUND INFORMATION, DATA AND SURVEY AREA The utilized data were collected from five different villages surveyed in rural Northern Nigeria between 2004 and 2005. These villages are situated within the Hadejia-Nguru floodplain wetlands of Jigawa state in Northern Nigeria. Data were collected from 200 households selected using a multi-stage stratified random sampling approach. The first sampling stratum was selection of the dry savanna region of northern Nigeria, which comprises six states: Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara, Kano, Kaduna and Jigawa. The second stratum was the selection of Jigawa state. Two important elements informed this choice. First, Jigawa state, which was carved out of Kano state in August 1991, has the highest rural population in Nigeria; about 93 percent of the state’s population dwells in rural areas3. Second, agriculture is the dominant sector of the state’s economy, providing employment for over 90 percent of the active labor force. For effective grassroots coverage of the various agricultural activities in Jigawa state, the Jigawa Agricultural and Rural Development (JARDA) is divided into four operational zones that are headquartered in the cities of Birni Kudu, Gumel, Hadejia and Kazaure. Hadejia was selected for this study, forming the third stratum of sampling. Within the Hadejia emirate, there are eight Local Government Areas (LGAs): Auyo, Birniwa, Hadejia, Kaffin-Hausa, Mallam Madori, Kaugama, Kirikasamma and Guri. Kirikasamma LGA was selected for this study, representing the fourth sampling stratum. Kirikassama LGA was specifically chosen because of the area’s intensive economic development and correspondingly higher human population compared to many other parts of Nigeria. In the fifth stratum of sampling, five villages were selected from Kirikassama LGA: Jiyan, Likori, Matarar Galadima, Turabu and Madachi.

  • A Study of Violence-Related Deaths in Nafada Local Government Area Of
    # Makai DANIEL http://www.ifra-nigeria.org/IMG/pdf/violence-related-deaths-gombe-jigawa-state-nigeria.pdf A Study of Violence-Related Deaths in Nafada Local Government Area of Gombe State and Auyo, Gagarawa, Gumel, Gwiwa, Kaugama and Yankwasi Local Government Areas of Jigawa State (2006-2014) IFRA-Nigeria working papers series, n°46 20/01/2015 The ‘Invisible Violence’ Project Based in the premises of the French Institute for Research in Africa on the campus of the University of Ibadan, Nigeria Watch is a database project that has monitored fatal incidents and human security in Nigeria since 1 June 2006. The database compiles violent deaths on a daily basis, including fatalities resulting from accidents. It relies on a thorough reading of the Nigerian press (15 dailies & weeklies) and reports from human rights organisations. The two main objectives are to identify dangerous areas and assess the evolution of violence in the country. However, violence is not always reported by the media, especially in remote rural areas that are difficult to access. Hence, in the last 8 years, Nigeria Watch has not recorded any report of fatal incidents in some of the 774 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the Nigerian Federation. There are two possibilities: either these places were very peaceful, or they were not covered by the media. This series of surveys thus investigates ‘invisible’ violence. By 1 November 2014, there were still 23 LGAs with no report of fatal incidents in the Nigeria Watch database: Udung Uko and Urue-Offong/Oruko (Akwa Ibom), Kwaya Kusar (Borno), Nafada (Gombe), Auyo, Gagarawa, Kaugama and Yankwashi (Jigawa), Ingawa and Matazu (Katsina), Sakaba (Kebbi), Bassa, Igalamela- Odolu and Mopa-Muro (Kogi), Toto (Nassarawa), Ifedayo (Osun), Gudu and Gwadabaw (Sokoto), Ussa (Taraba), and Karasuwa, Machina, Nguru and Yunusari (Yobe).
