Christian Aid Multisectoral Assessment of Nutrition, WASH, Protection and Livelihood Gaps Jobs in Nigeria

Christian Aid (CAID) is a humanitarian and development, Faith-based non-governmental organization that insists that the world can and must be changed to one where everyone can live a full life, free from poverty.

CAID works globally for profound change tackling the root causes of poverty, empowering people to have a brighter future, and creating enabling environments for communities to exercise their capacities.

Rationale and Objectives

Although CAID has made strides in delivering much-needed support to affected populations in these regions, there are still opportunities to do more and broaden the reach of its interventions.

Thus, there is a need for strategic evidence gathering of the most efficient and effective ways to engage in interventions that further strengthen the provision of essential services that promote well-being and save the lives of affected populations in the northeast and northwest of Nigeria.

For CAID to provide these interventions there is a need for an assessment to understand the dimensions of the prevailing needs and any existing gaps in systems and structures responsible for delivering support in meeting those needs.

This understanding will help identify opportunities for action in target sectors and locations in preparation for upcoming engagements with donors.

Information gathered by this assessment will provide data and evidence that will inform proposals to potential donors and partners.

Specific Objectives

To identify needs and opportunities for programmatic support in the northeast and northwest of Nigeria,

To identify and recommend areas of intervention that complement CAIDs current efforts,

To map partners geographically and thematically in accordance with their intervention

To assess operational security feasibility to embark on project intervention in the specified locations

Assessment Scope

This assessment will be carried out in Borno and Adamawa states in the Northeast and Sokoto, Zamfara, and Katsina in the Northwest to complement recent broad-based assessments such as Carde Harmonise and Multi-Sector Needs Assessments (MSNA) for 2022.

In addition, the assessment will also complete a desk review of humanitarian and developmental records of select locations within the regions based on needs and intelligence gathering; to reach a comprehensive report that represents the closest to the ideal outlook of living conditions in these areas

Assessment Methodology

The assessment will involve a mixed-method approach, using both quantitative and qualitative methods to meet study objectives.

In the Northwest, this assessment will carry out a detailed and rigorous collection of primary data using focal group discussions, Key informer interviews, and surveys among key target groups, while in the Northeast, data collection will rely more on secondary sources using reviews of relevant documents and reports to triangulate information that will inform the final report.

A set of tools will be developed and administered to aid the collation and analysis of quantitative data and produce informed and evidence-based narratives.
