Empowering Communities Together

EDUCATION IN EMERGENCY

• Quality education is the foundation of creating sustainable development and improving the quality of life. Education is instrumentally important for achieving positive development outcomes and well-being of life which lies in the doing and being what one value and have reason to value, thus, the insurgency in Northern Nigeria has affected the education system in many ways. NFDP is playing an active role in promoting lifelong quality education for all people –children, youth, and adults as a part of emergency response and for long-term recovery. At present, we are working in two informal camps, Chezcoan and Garba Buzu. We aim to develop an education system that is more resilient and responsive in face of conflict, disaster and social unrest.
• NFDP helps strengthen education systems in times of crisis to ensure life-saving messages reach children and their families; protects children and youth from attack, abuse, and exploitation; supports peace-building; and provides physical and psychological safety to children which is fundamental to sustainable recovery.

PROTECTION

• Women and children are majorly the most vulnerable in the event of any disaster, they are usually the victims of abuse and threat .NFDP ensure protection is duly implemented in all her interventions on any displaced person especially, children and women who are usually victims of violence, abuse, force labor, discrimination and exploitation even with the incorporated protective aspects into national legislation yet protection is not absolute.
• NFDP uphold the human rights and the rule of law in our society, we agree that every child have potential and that needs to be nurtured and women need to be protected/safeguarded.

NUTRITION

• The insurgency in Nigeria has affected the BAY States (Borno, Adamawa and Yobe) massively. One in every five children is severely malnourished this is one of the major causes of death in under five children. Nigeria has recorded high level of Severe Acute Malnutrition.

• NFDP seeks to reduce, support and partner with government and nutritional organization in the distribution of micronutrient supplements to expecting mothers and children. We also support in ensuring mothers and caregivers are sensitized and counsel on general hygiene, optimal infant and young child feeding (IYCF), exclusive breastfeeding and total wellbeing of a child in order to prevent, sustain and reduce the problem of malnutrition.

  FOOD SECURITY

• Sustainable livelihood is fundamental in our programmatic approach towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goal of No poverty by giving our beneficiaries access to sufficient safe and nutritious food that meet dietary needs and food preference for a healthy life. About 10 million people are in the critical phases of food and nutrition insecurity, some vulnerable communities in Northern Nigeria are partly or completely inaccessible. The growing global population and climate change and rising cost of food has an uncertain impact on food.  Therefore strategic measures and response is essential in improving   the living conditions of farmers and the rural population across the globe.
• Economic growth is only sustainable if all countries have food security. Food security needs to encompass women and other vulnerable and disadvantages groups. NFDP work on food security, we support farmers and the vulnerable with resources, agricultural technologies, and other such means of building resilience.

LIVELIHOOD

• Sustainable livelihood is fundamental in our programmatic approach towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goal of No poverty by giving our beneficiaries access to skill training. It is sustainable when it enables people to cope with and recover from shocks and stresses. NFDP aim to improve and enhance the livelihood of the affected persons.
