The Nigeria INGO Forum continues to strive for improved overall coordination of the humanitarian response in Nigeria’s North
East. In 2017, INGOs will continue to be at the forefront of providing assistance to people affected by the conflict, particularly
through sector interventions in the sectors of food assistance, protection, nutrition, health, WASH, shelter. The INGO Forum
also aims to increase engagement and collaboration with government at both the Federal and State level, as well as members
of the humanitarian community, especially local actors. The INGO forum also intends to work on expanding the members of
the forum by reaching out to partner organizations that are not yet operational in the country, providing them with the
necessary support with relevant information and facilitation of scoping missions.
As part of its activities outlined for 2017, the INGO Forum
has expanded its capacity to enable it better respond to the
challenges of coordination. The staff capacity is expected to
increase; with a permanent presence in Maiduguri where
the North-East response and coordination hubs are
centered.
The secretariat will be transitioning from Oxfam to Mercy
Corps and the duration has been extended to a longer
period of two (2) years to ensure stability. This practice
reflects majority of the practices in INGO Forums across the
globe.
Further changes have been made to the structure of the
Executive Committee. It is now a 4-member committee
comprised of the Chair (Yannick Pouchalan - ACF), Co-
Chair (Raj Mulmi - Search for Common Ground) and 2
Executive Committee members (Atef Fawaz - EHealth and
Mercy Corps as host and Treasurer - Iveta Ouvry)
Building upon the achievements of last year and
recognizing the needs for this year requires commensurate
investment in building human resource capacity for an
improved response. The INGO Forum therefore intends to
continue increasing partnership with local actors by
building their capacity, particularly in ensuring
accountability to affected population, reporting
procedures and program implementation.
The INGO Forum welcomes partnership initiatives for
improved transparency and effectiveness of the
humanitarian response. In responding to a request by the
Borno State Government (Accreditation Committee), the
INGO Forum has submitted registration documents for its
members with the Borno State Government.
Subsequently, as government involvement in the
humanitarian response is expected to increase, the INGO
Forum has begun taking measures to ensure successful
collaboration for positive impact in the lives of affected
people in the Northeast.

In Bakassi IDP camp,the IRC established a reproductive health (RH clinic), offering ante-natal care (ANC), post-natal care (PNC), emergency delivery services and family planning counseling, and community outreach activities. In December 2016, the clinic attended to 443 ANC visits and 14 deliveries, while 67 women received family planning services. By the end of the year, an additional maternity ward with 6 beds capacity opened for safe and skilled attendance at delivery and which will be operational 24/7 within the coming month. Clinical management of sexual assault is also provided by trained nurses and midwifes, while a referral pathway established to the nearby IRC’s Women’s Centre for psychosocial care and case management. Additionally, IRC is supporting five PHC facilities within MMC and Jere Local government areas (LGA), with on-the- job coaching, rehabilitation and provision of medical supplies and supervision while further expanding into the newly accessible LGAs of Konduga and soon in Monguno. ACTION AID ActionAid Nigeria in December 2016, introduced and carried out Mobile Mental and Medical Outreach (3MO) interventions in two of the most affected and hard to reach towns of Bama and Konduga in Borno State. The 3MO interventions complement already existing psychosocial support services and a well-coordinated referral system for individuals and survivors of Sexual Gender Based Violence (SGBV). During the outreach in Bama, a total of 37 patients received treatment and over 20 were referred for further care, which could not be provided in the field. Furthermore, 74% of the patients attended to in Bama suffer from acute Schizophrenia (a form of mental disorder) and there is little or no effort for treatment except from this mobile intervention. Both males and females affected with this disorder are at risk. In Konduga, about 35 patients received treatment for several types of ailments and 15 patients were referred to other hospitals specialized care. In Konduga, most of the issues are physical ailment with only one case of Schizophrenia. However, the IDP camp there has a clinic without personnel or drugs, so it was a welcome development for the Camp Official and the IDP to see the Mobile Team on this visit. Government should look into the continuous provision of healthcare services through the 3MO initiative, which will be beneficial to the people and drastically reduce healthcare challenges. Taking healthcare services to the doors of the affected has been shown to improve the health of the affected in a mumber of ways. This method mitigates the effect of stigmatization resulting from seeking mental health service, cost barriers and reaches those unable to physically access services. At Dala Primary health care center in MMC, the IRC community mobilizer and community volunteers conduct sensitization on RH P3
