Humanitarian Policy Group’s Post

Did you know that considerable discrepancies exist in humanitarian responses between the northeast and northwest regions of #Nigeria, despite comparable levels of need? Our new working paper with the Neem Foundation asks why, and offers FIVE recommendations for a more equitable response, including that: 🔸 State authorities should be the central actors in delivering protection, services and development interventions for affected people 🔸 Humanitarian actors must uphold humanitarian principles, and assistance must be provided on the basis of need 🔸 International humanitarian actors should engage state governments early on, to jointly create durable solutions 🔸 International organisations should support local organisations, especially those working within states, to address the crisis in the northwest 🔸 Donors must think and act holistically so that humanitarian and development needs can be tackled together.
