Niger - Emergency humanitarian aid for war-displaced people in the Diffa region

This emergency aid operation follows the humanitarian disaster in the Diffa region caused by acts of violence perpetrated by Boko Haram between May 19 and June 16, 2016. More than 40,000 people have fled conflict-affected areas (about 60% of the displaced are children according to humanitarian organizations). This project aims to improve sanitary conditions, access to drinking water and sanitation services to the affected and/or displaced populations following Boko Haram's recent attacks. The proposed intervention, as part of this support, involves three components, namely: (i) a component related to multifaceted sanitary assistance to the populations, which will consist mainly in providing health care access; (ii) a water and sanitation component providing children and women, particularly vulnerable, with access to drinking water and sanitation services, and (iii) a coordination component for emergency aid management. The implementation of this emergency operation is planned for a period not exceeding six months.
