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. -

Humanitarian Access SCORE Report: Northeast Nigeria Survey on the Coverage, Operational Reach, and Effectiveness of Humanitarian Aid Humanitarian Access SCORE Report: Northeast Nigeria Survey on the Coverage, Operational Reach, and Effectiveness of Humanitarian Aid Abby Stoddard, Paul Harvey, Monica Czwarno, and Meriah-Jo Breckenridge January 2020 www.humanitarianoutcomes.org www.aidworkersecurity.org SCORE reports Under the CORE research programme, supported by the Office of US Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA)/United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Humanitarian Outcomes is conducting remote surveys of crisis-affected populations in hard-to-reach areas to gain their perspectives on access to aid and the effectiveness of the humanitarian response. The results of the surveys on coverage, operational reach, and effectiveness (SCORE), together with key informant interviews and other contextual data, help identify the humanitarian actors that have achieved the greatest presence and coverage. Humanitarian Outcomes designed a survey instrument, containing a mix of closed- and open-ended questions to target populations in particular geographic locations through random dialling to mobile phones. Our survey provider partner, GeoPoll, trains enumerators to conduct computer-assisted telephone interviews. Surveys conducted to date include the six states of northeast Nigeria, and four provinces in Afghanistan. Further SCORE reports are planned for Afghanistan and Central African Republic.

The programme will also transform the underlying casual dynamics to reduce the risks of future conflict by engaging communities and local leadership to create conditions to facilitate systemic change. Mercy Corps is leveraging its expertise in fostering resilience in complex environments both globally and in Northeast Nigeria, with its partners Cooperazione Internationale (COOPI) and the Danish Refugee Council (DRC)’s whose strong track record of relief and early recovery programs in Yobe state, will enable the consortium to rapidly start up and implement the BRICC program. BRICC’s ToC is IF communities most affected by conflict in Yobe state have improved social protection delivered through responsive, capable government, access to essential basic services and improved livelihood supported by robust markets, and IF key community leaders and government institutions manage resources, services and conflict peacefully and equitably while addressing drivers of participation of violence, THEN communities will achieve increasing well-being over time and experience the impacts of conflict less severely. -
NIGERIA Borno and Yobe States Market Monitoring October 2020-ISSUE 41
NIGERIA Borno and Yobe States Market Monitoring October 2020-ISSUE 41 Saving Lives and Changing Lives Highlights • Production forecasts of 2020/2021 for cereals is expected to be slightly above normal. Harvest of rice, millet and sorghum is ongoing in most parts of the country. Key staple prices (rice, maize, beans and peanuts) generally remained stable across the monitored markets of Borno and Yobe States. The price of maize and red beans decreased below its 3-year average in most of monitored states, with Borno currently between 15 to 25 percent. • Over the past three months, the retail prices of imported and local rice either decreased or stabilized across all monitored markets in Borno and Yobe States. These decrease were more noticeable in Gujba (14%), Nguru (15%) and Gashua (17%) markets of Yobe. • Similarly, the price of maize has remained largely stable or decreased marginally, in Borno as compared to three months ago. Likewise in Yobe, prices decreased or stabilized across most monitored markets excluding Gulani and Bursari markets, where price of maize increased by 12% and 20% respectively. • For red beans, prices either remained stable or increased slightly in Borno State. This was more significant in Abbaganaram and Monday markets where prices increased by 12%. In the same vein, prices increased in Gujba (27%), Geidam (59%), and Gulani (82%) markets of Yobe State, due to increased transportation cost and reduced availability of the commodity. • Between September and October, the cost of 70% of the Survival Minimum Expenditure Basket (SMEB), for a family of five decreased slightly from 19,245.87 Naira to 18,965.73 Naira in Maiduguri and Jere in Borno State. -

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. -

Yobe State Weekly Situation Report No
Nigeria: Yobe State Weekly Situation Report No. 9 3 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 • Cases of acute watery diarrhea/cholera climb to 50, including eight fatalities across three Local Government Areas (LGAs), as the state struggles with shortages of testing kits and medicines. • Amid nationwide concerns of a possible third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, testing services continue to be hindered in Yobe due to shortages of vital kits. • Cases of gender-based violence against women and adolescent girls increasing due to worsening vulnerabilities and limited access to livelihood opportunities. SITUATION OVERVIEW Acute watery diarrhea (AWD)/cholera cases climb to 50 across three LGAs amid shortages of testing kits The Yobe State Ministry of Health (SMoH) during the week provided updates on the spread of AWD/cholera, indicating a total of 50 cases across Bursari, Jakusko and Damaturu LGAs, including eight fatalities. Some 20 of the cases had been reported in Gadine community of Bursari LGA in April. As of end of the week, five samples tested positive for cholera based on laboratory tests. There are growing concerns of further spread across 10 high-risk LGAs as more flooding incidents (which contaminate water sources) are expected as the rainy season approaches its peak.
