Operational Highlights

  • UNHCR commenced a Multi-Sectoral Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment (MSVCA) for Cameroonian refugees in collaboration with partners in Benue and Cross River States. The MSVCA will provide data on vulnerability and socio-economic situation of refugees on food security, protection, health, education, and capacities of each family that will serve as a basis to inform better programming and planning for the humanitarian assistance provided to Cameroonian refugees in Nigeria.

  • UNHCR supported the renovation of Primary Health Centre (PHC) Bashu in Cross River State (CRS), PHC Kpambo Puri in Taraba State and constructed a three-bedroom selfcontained staff quarters for health care workers in Ikyogen, Benue State, to improve health care delivery for refugees and locals.
