• The
  internally displaced persons (IDPs) are taking shelter in some relatively
  safe Local Government Areas (LGAs). The population of Greater Maiduguri,
  the capital of Borno state, has more than doubled; it has gone from 1
  million to 2 million.
• The
  influx of people displaced from other areas of the state has worsened the
  situation of overcrowding in already inadequate living conditions.
• This
  places a huge strain on infrastructure, resources and basic services, as
  well as on the host communities.
• There
  are also great concerns for the LGAs, even though these areas are
  relatively safe compared to the deplorable shelter conditions faced by
  IDPs and host communities alike.
• In
  consideration of this context, INTERSOS is currently implementing programs
  to provide temporary and emergency shelters for internally displaced
  populations, Camp Coordination and Management.
• Through
  this activity, the INTERSOS Cameroun mission is able to monitor a vast
  area along the border of the two countries including Waza, Fotokol and
  Kolofata.
• In
  this area, multiple incidents related to the forced return of Nigerian
  asylum-seekers to Nigeria have been detected and reported.
• The
  presence of INTERSOS personnel on both sides of the border has allowed the
  organization to develop an excellent understanding of the local dynamics.
• By
  doing so, the organization is improving protection and living conditions
  for IDPs living in host communities in the Ngala, Monguno, Banki and
  Damasak areas.
• Additionally,
  since 2015, INTERSOS has been conducting protection monitoring activities
  in Mayo-Tsanga, Mayo-Sava and Logone Et-Chary in Cameroun, in partnership
  with UNHCR, and community service interventions in favor of Nigerian
  refugees and asylum-seekers in the Minawao refugee camp, which hosts 62,328
  refugees.
• Supporting
  the same PoC both in Nigeria and in Cameroun is an added value that helps
  enhancing the programmatic synergies and the efficiency of communication
  between the staff from the two missions working at the border.

  overall supervision of the Head of Mission, the Project Manager will be in
  charge of managing and monitoring the project activities, representing the
  organization, in Ngala, Banki, Monguno e Damasak, Borno State, Nigeria.
