Resumen
Descripción
The insurgency in northeastern Nigeria caused a massive loss of civilian lives and triggered a protracted humanitarian crisis that has lasted for nine years. According to the International Organization for Migration Displacement Tracking Matrix, some 1.8 million people were forcibly displaced from their homes as a result, the majority of whom reside in formal and informal camps in host community settings. Agriculture is the main source of food and income for over 80 percent of the population, but livelihoods were severely affected by livestock losses, reduced access to fishing grounds and arable land, and the disruption of extension services. Against this background, the project aimed to improve agricultural production for recent most vulnerable internally displaced people (IDPs) and their host communities in the northeast states of Adamawa and Yobe.
