The humanitarian crisis, which is fundamentally a protection crisis, continues to affect Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states in north-east Nigeria.

According to the 2019-2021 Humanitarian Strategic Plan, 7.1 million people have been estimated to be in need of humanitarian assistance as a result of a crisis that is now in its tenth year.

Threats and risks to the well-being of girls and boys include family separation, explosive remnants of war, gender-based violence including child marriage and conflict-related sexual violence, recruitment and use of children, abduction and other grave child rights violations.

The crisis also has caused psychological distress amongst children and their caregivers.
An estimated 2.7 million children and adolescents (1.5 million girls and 1.2 million boys) in north-east Nigeria are in need of protection and cross-sectoral services, including psychosocial support services.

To ensure that children cope with the effects of the crisis, age-appropriate psychosocial and mental health support services (amongst other child protection services) are required.
