context of the project

- The

the epicentre of the armed conflict. The armed conflict later spread to
all twenty-seven (27) Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Borno State, North
East Nigeria. The conflict took an international dimension as it spread to
the neighbouring countries of Cameroun, Niger and Chad, resulting in the
displacement of millions of people across all four frontiers. - The
Armed Opposition Group (AOG) has been killing people in both rural and
urban centres in their quest to form a hairline Islamic State in the north
east of Nigeria. - A
high number of towns and cities have been burned and destroyed. - Social
services and amenities have also been destroyed and are now non-existent.
Agricultural activities which used to be the source of food security and
livelihoods among the rural communities of the North East are no longer
existent. - Joint
military operations by Cameroun, Nigeria, Chad and Niger have resulted in
the liberation of 15 LGAs.
