Locally Led Emergency Preparedness and Response in the North-East

As part of its drive for localisation, SCI Nigeria committed flexible financing through its pooled Humanitarian Fund, for the implementation of civil society organisation-led emergency preparedness and response to the humanitarian crisis in hard-to-reach areas in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states. These four civil society organisations (CSO): Gender Equality, Peace and Development Centre (GEPaDC), Ekklesiyar Yan’uwa a Nigeria (EYN Project), Life at Best Development Initiative (LABDI), and Restoration of Hope Initiative (ROHI) led the implementation of these activities to demonstrate their capacity to locally lead the implementation of emergency responses in deep locations while capitalising on SCI Nigeria’s commitment to ensuring a locally led design, planning and implementation of activities, especially in the hard-to-reach areas in Northeast Nigeria.
