Improved access to quality reintegration services for children and adolescent formerly associated with non-state armed groups in Northeast Nigeria

Projekt abgeschlossen

Thousands of children and youth suffer from the conflict in Northeast Nigeria, including from various forms of violence and forced recruitment by non-state armed groups. The project provides psychosocial support, education, and socio-economic reintegration assistance to children and youth formerly associated with armed groups, and survivors of sexual and gender-based violence. Their successful reintegration is a key prerequisite towards sustainable peace.

Das Projekt in Kürze
Hintergrund The large humanitarian needs in Northeast Nigeria remain driven by conflict and violence. Now in its thirteenth year, the armed conflict persists with ongoing hostilities between non-state armed groups (NSAGs) and security forces. Civilians bear the brunt of the conflict with widespread displacement (2.2M as of August 2022), insufficient protection, destroyed infrastructure, and collapsed essential services. Child protection needs are acute, as many children continue to suffer trauma as a result of exposure to recruitment by armed groups, sexual violence, the loss of relatives, and displacement. As a result of power struggles between NSAGs, up to 50,000 people have exited areas under NSAG control since June 2021. Among them are many children, youth and women who need psychosocial counselling and socio-economic reintegration support to recover from trauma and strain of the conflict, and to reintegrate into their communities, which this initiative targets.
Ziele The project aims to improve the protective environment for children and youth formerly associated with non-state armed groups and survivors of sexual and gender-based violence (GBV) in the conflict-affected states in Northeast Nigeria, and assists with their socio-economic reintegration in communities.
Zielgruppen
  • Children, youth and women formerly associated with non-state armed groups
  • Separated and unaccompanied children
  • Other vulnerable children in communities of reintegration
  • GBV survivors
  • Community leaders in conflict affected communities at risk of child recruitment and GBV
  • Front line workers (government social welfare and child caseworkers)
Mittelfristige Wirkungen

Outcome 1: Increased number of girls, boys, youth, and women disassociated from armed groups, including other conflict affected children, have sustainable equitable access and utilization of social and economic reintegration services.

Outcome 2: Improved protection and respect for the fundamental rights of people affected by crises, giving priority to vulnerable groups, including children and women exposed to the risks of violence, abuse, sexual exploitation, and family separation.
