More Autonomy for Refugees and Their Hosts

The terror threat from Boko Haram has caused hundreds of thousands of Nigerians to flee into the border area in the south-east of Niger. They are hosted here by families from the same ethnic background, but the poor nutrition situation leads to conflicts. This project follows on from a previous emergency-assistance project and enables the people to regain more autonomy. Goats, seed and fertilisers are distributed, as well as kits for “sack gardens”. Cash-for-work measures are used for restoring fields among other aims. There is also relevant training - open to refugees and their hosts.
