Consultancy: GIZ Project Endline Assessment
Project Overview
Human migration within and outside countries has been a cause for concern globally, especially migration that results from conflicts. The rising number of internallydisplaced (IDP) and refugees in Nigeria, especially in the northeast region of the country, due to prolonged insurgency has significantly altered the sociocultural milieu of the region.
The displacement has been observed to have negative effects on both the displaced people and their host communities thereby negatively impacting the social cohesion of the people. The poor adaptation of the displaced to the unfamiliar environment due to the lack of basic support needed and the host community’s perception of IDP as a threat due to limited resources to accommodate the new entrants often snowball into subtle crises. Additionally, gender differential effects of displacements and inadequate social cohesion have been observed as putting women, children, and people with disabilities at more disadvantage, thereby increasing their vulnerability.
Given these challenges, Oxfam, CEPAD, CRUDAN and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH with funding from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) has been implementing the project which is aimed at establishing a local but comprehensive integrational approach to bring all members of the community on the path of sustainable growth with the active involvement of the communities concerned and relevant government and non-governmental structures in Michika LGA. The main objective of the project is to increase citizen participation and strengthen social cohesion through the delivery of community-driven development interventions in 16 wards of Michika LGA in Adamawa State.
The specific objectives of the project are.
- to improve participatory engagement and planning between local communities and government stakeholders towards improved socio-economic outcomes of communities.
- to strengthen social cohesion through capacity building of stakeholders on inclusive planning, implementation, and monitoring of community development plans.
The project seeks to empower local communities to identify and address key development challenges while fostering unity, cooperation, and resilience through the delivery of community-driven development interventions in 16 wards of Michika LGA in Adamawa State.
