PROJECT-BACKGROUND
The proposed six months project aims to provide immediate, life-saving health and nutrition services to vulnerable conflict-affected populations during the lean season in Maiduguri Metropolitan Council (MMC) and Jere LGAs of Borno State. The intervention, implemented by a consortium of CBI and UNICPF will respond to worsening health and nutrition conditions among children under five, pregnant and lactating women, and other at-risk groups, driven by seasonal food insecurity, recurrent flooding, protracted conflict, and the deterioration of basic services. Through integrated health and nutrition outreach, mobile medical teams, health facility support, and community-based case management, this project seeks to reduce malnutrition, prevent disease outbreaks, and mitigate mortality during the lean season. Implemented over six months.
