3 Cadre Harmonisé in Sixteen (16) States of Nigeria : The Cadre Harmonise (CH) analysis was conducted in October, 2016, as part of the activities of the Food Security Sector, to assess the nature and severity of food insecurity in sixteen states of Nigeria including Adamawa, Bauchi, Benue, Borno, Gombe, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Niger, Plateau, Sokoto, Taraba, Yobe and Zamfara It was an inclusive and participatory process involving wide range of partners from the Government (National Bureau of Statistics, Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, State Ministries of Agriculture and Natural Resources (MOANR, Federal Ministry of Health, National Planning Commission, National Bureau of Statistics(NBS), National Emergency Management Agency(NEMA), UN-agencies, international and national NGOs such as Food and Agricultural organization (FAO), World Food Programme (WFP). Other participant institutions included federal agencies such as Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF), World Health Organization (WHO), Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET), Save the Children and OXFAM as well as NGOs operating at the state level. Findings from the analysis indicated that 5.8 million people (CH-Phase 3-5) were food insecure in the six states of Adamawa, Borno, Yobe, Bauchi, Gombe and Taraba. Out of the 5.8 million people, 5.1 million are food insecure in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States. The Map below illustrates CH analysis, projected food and nutrition security situation for the sixteen states for the period June to August Figure 1: CH Analysis and Current Food and Nutrition Security Situation Figure 2: CH Analysis and Projected Food and Nutrition Security Situation Food security outlook projection for the period (June to August 2017) 3 P a g e F o o d S e c u r i t y B u l l e t i n N o v e m b e r a n d D e c e m b e r

4 IOM Displacement Tracking Matrix - Round XIII Some of the LGAs that saw an increase in IDP numbers include Ngala, with a sharp increase of 24,333 IDPs; Dikwa (increase of 14,282); Monguno (up by 8,960); and Chibok (increment of 7,694 IDPs). The other LGAs with an increase in IDP numbers are Gubio, Mafa, and Nganzai. The movement of IDPs from MMC, Jere and Konduga was the main reasons for the increase in numbers of IDPs in Dikwa, Gubio, Mafa, and Ngala. The increase in Monguno and Nganzai was due to the ongoing military offensive in northern Borno. The increase in numbers in Chibok was on account of new areas that were assessed during this round, in comparison to the last DTM, as a result of improvements in the security situation. Overall, the fluctuation in numbers continued during this assessment period as a result of new wards becoming accessible within LGAs that were previously inaccessible or only partially accessible. The trend of increased mobility continued, particularly among the large number of IDPs who returned to their LGAs of origin or moved to another area to restart farming. IDPs returning to their place of usual residence, before the insurgency began, is a growing trend. The LGAs visited to assess the number of returnees during Round XIII included seven LGAs in Adamawa (Gombi, Hong, Madagali, Maiha, Michika, Mubi North and Mubi South), 14 in Borno (Askira/Uba, Bayo, Biu, Dikwa, Gubio, Gwoza, Hawul, Kaga, Konduga, Mafa, Magumeri, Monguno, Ngala and Nganzai), and two in Yobe (Gujba and Gulani). Most returnees were from Adamawa (61%), followed by Borno (36%) and Yobe (3%). In the Round XII assessment, most returnees were from Adamawa (32%), followed by Borno (25%), and Kano (7%).

The Bank s support will focus on reducing mortality due to severe acute malnutrition among children under five years of age in Borno State by 46% and infant mortality by 20%. The specific objectives are to treat 11,468 children in Borno State with Ready to Use Therapeutic Food; provide 60,000 children aged 6-23 months in the affected areas with multiple micronutrient powder; and strengthen sector coordination and monitoring at state level to provide effective coordination of nutrition response. The operation will involve community mobilization, capacity building, coordination and partnership (with international non-governmental organizations) as well as the strengthening of information management systems to achieve large coverage, quality service and high impact. These, in addition to monitoring and surveillance systems using quarterly surveys and mobile technology for real-time reporting and data collection. The nutrition sector in Nigeria estimated a burden of 296,601 cases of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) in Borno State in If these children are left untreated, it is envisaged that an estimated 59,320 would die. This intervention will augment efforts at attaining the target to reach 80% of the estimated SAM cases in the region by 2017, AfDB President Akinwumi Adesina told the Board.
