Empowering Displaced Families: UNHCR's Cash-Based Intervention in Nigeria
UNHCR Nigeria
Description
In North East Nigeria, the Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe States face a relentless humanitarian crisis. Over 2 million people have been internally displaced by armed conflict and exposed to heightened risks of violence, including abduction, rape, and other forms of gender-based violence. Amidst this turmoil, the need for effective protection and solutions, especially for women and girls, has never been more critical. In response, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Nigeria is taking a stand through its Cash-Based Intervention programme. By providing forcibly displaced families with multipurpose cash grants, UNHCR is empowering them with the choice to address their most pressing needs. Whether it's setting up an enterprise, securing a safe shelter, accessing medical care, or ensuring food security, these grants offer a lifeline, enabling families to make decisions that best suit their immediate circumstances.
