In these areas, parents and teachers often prioritize sending children to work on farms over attending classes due to economic pressures. The intervention seeks to incentivize regular school attendance by offering cash rewards to students, thereby encouraging their participation in education despite the prevailing circumstances. This initiative aims to increase school attendance and improve educational outcomes in these vulnerable communities by addressing financial barriers and aligning incentives., The Project will focus awareness raising and improving the living standard of orphans, Street children, Adolescents girls, person's with special needs, and women especially IDPs, asylum seekers and the families affected by the conflict and flood to improve their livelihoods and protect the life of the children. Yusufari, Nguru and Damaturu are among the top Local Government that has Child protection concern in Yobe State/ A child born within Yusufari, Damaturu and Nguru LGAS has the lowest chances to access decent formal education, and even if they are enrolled in schools, there are still higher chances of dropping out before completion. This can be subtly traced due to their indecent living conditions and poverty within the community, For a child to stay in school, the caregivers must be able to provide basic care in terms of food and shelter, but most of these caregivers are not able to. Most boys and girls are dropping out of school to try and earn a living, which has resulting to child Labour cases; the girls try to take care of the younger children and support their mothers in providing for the families, and once out of school, the eventuality is early marriages for the girls while some of the girls are becoming victims of rapes. this has become a vicious circle of poverty in these Locality, and with Children not attending schools, they remain practically illiterate. The children in this marginalized locality can only be able to join the societal mainstream if they are at least literate.
Our target is to provide support and strengthen the capacity of women, Children, Disabled person's and the most vulnerable families with businesses and train them on how to improve their farming system and to create massive awareness on Child Protection concern and support the victims of protection related concern and provide a mitigation measures that will enable the communities to know how to handle, and refer the victims of protection and the perpetrator. We believed by supporting the victims and empowering the caregivers we can be able to reduce the rate of child protection concern's within the targeted communities. Our mission is to render the services that will impact the life of children, women and most vulnerable people, to be self-reliance, and their will be a peaceful coexistent among others within the society., The Norwegian Refugee Council through its Information Counselling and Legal Assistance (ICLA) and General Protection programming seek to address needs of IDPs, host communities, returnees and other vulnerable individuals by increasing access to protection services, basic essential services, and securing Housing Land and Property (HLP) rights through improved security of tenure to the conflict-affected population in Northeast Nigeria, Nigeria.

NRC being the HLP AoR co-lead will coordinate and strengthen HLP services and structures for the target communities through a series of coordination meetings, community engagement, initiatives, and events. To achieve that, logistical support will be provided to collaborative dispute resolution centers/structures and the land ministry to facilitate their work. The project intends to enhance the capacity of local authorities and community leaders on HLP and collaborative dispute resolution so they can uphold the basic human rights of IDPs, returnees, and host communities. Furthermore, the absence of civil administration in hard-to-reach LGAs poses a challenge in terms of accessibility to basic essential services, especially for the physically disabled and other vulnerable groups. Non-State Armed Groups (NSAG) in north-east Nigeria continue intensely across villages, communities, and towns and this has led to more displacement. Ongoing camp closure and return by the Borno State Government has exerted pressure on existing facilities and structures both at return locations as well as areas of integration which has led to reduced access to essential services especially for IDPs and returnees. Cases of evictions have been reported, and the trend will likely continue into 2024, with the most vulnerable households at risk of eviction and other related HLP rights violations.

NRC’s Protection from Violence (PfV) (the general protection component) team aims to contribute to increasing the rights and capacity of the conflict affected populations to prevent protection risks and threats. Specialized protection activities such as protection case management and individual protection assistance will be provided to improve the well-being and strengthen their resilience, protection, and dignity of the conflict-affected population in BAY States. The NRC protection project will target vulnerable individuals from displaced and host communities to benefit from the protection interventions that respond to their needs. This project will contribute to Protection Sector’s response objective to; a) to mitigate and respond to the harm caused to persons who have suffered violence, coercion, exploitation, serious neglect, or discrimination, and to restore their capacity to live safe and dignified lives, and b) to strengthen targeted protection services to address the needs and vulnerability of persons at heightened risks of violence, exploitation, serious neglect, or discrimination; enhance their capacities and reduce the risk of resorting to negative coping mechanisms. ), partners (Nkafamiya Rescue Mission, Direct implementation across Dikwa and Gwoza- Borno State and Mubi North and Madagali - Adamawa State, NGF and FOPGEMOV), globalclusters (Health, Water Sanitation Hygiene, Nutrition), organizations (GOALPrime Organization Nigeria, Save the Children, United Nations Children's Fund) and 1 others.

Curation

Raw data was downloaded from HDX via the CKAN API and converted to Parquet. Column names were lowercased and standardised to snake_case. Common missing-value markers (N/A, null, none, -, unknown, no data, #N/A) were unified to NaN. 2 column(s) were cast from string to numeric or datetime based on parse-success rate (>85% threshold). The dataset was split 80/20 into train and test partitions using a fixed random seed (42) and saved as Snappy-compressed Parquet.
