Technical Brief: Shelter and Non-Food Items Programming in Nigeria (2026)

This brief highlights Save the Children Nigeria’s Shelter and Non-Food Items (NFI) programming, which supports conflict-affected, displaced, and vulnerable households to meet their immediate shelter and essential household needs. Through the provision of temporary and transitional shelters, shelter return kits, non-food item distributions, and cash-based support where markets are functional, Save the Children helps families access safe, dignified, and protective living conditions. Between 2022 and 2024, the organisation reached thousands of households with shelter assistance and essential household items while working closely with government authorities and humanitarian partners to ensure coordinated and effective responses in line with national and international humanitarian standards
