ABOUT PLAN INTERNATIONAL NIGERIA
Plan International is an independent child-centered international development organization committed to advancing the rights of children and fighting against poverty. Plan has no religious, political, or government affiliation. For over 78 years, we have supported girls and boys and their communities around the world to gain the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to claim their rights, free themselves from poverty and live positive fulfilling lives. The plan currently works in 70 countries including Nigeria.
Plan International officially started operations in Nigeria in 2014 and works to strengthen and promote the rights of children. Our program is currently focused on basic education; improving community health services, youth and citizens’ participation in governance and creating economic opportunities and livelihoods for the poor, building resilient communities through our emergency and humanitarian response. Plan Nigeria works with communities, civil society organizations, development partners, government at all levels, and the private sector.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
Plan International Nigeria’s Learn and Stay Protected project; funded by Beiersdorf’; is implemented in Adamawa State in eight Communities of the following Local Government Areas (LGAs) Yola North, Yola South, Gerei and Lamurde. Communities per LGA are classified as follows:
- Yola North LGA: Jambutu and Rumde/Limawa
- Yola South LGA: Wuro Hausa and Yolde Pate
- Girei LGA: Vunoklang and Badarisa
- Lamurde LGA: Mamsirmi and Tingno.
GBV incidents are underreported in NE Nigeria. In particular, reporting an incident of sexual violence (rape or sexual assault) is hindered by the risk of stigmatization, retaliation, shame or marginalization, and oppression from the community, as well as a lack of survivor-centered service provision after referrals.[1]In the IDP camps within the targeted LGAs, girls and women lack secure sanitation facilities, safe firewood collection, and access to farmlands which heighten GBV risks. Where essential goods and services are in short
supply, IDPs and vulnerable host community members resort to negative coping strategies including transactional sex. In the targeted LGAs, there are limited GBV prevention mechanisms and inadequate response services including psychosocial support services[2] to address GBV and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) needs.
