\nLocation: <\/b>Nigeria
\nWork Type : <\/b>Consultancy

\nPurpose of the Assignment<\/strong>
\nIn the course of 2014 and early 2015, Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad (JAS), more commonly as Boko Haram intensified its attacks on the civilian population in Nigeria, with tactics developing from hit-and-run attacks, to hit-and-hold attacks in which JAS managed to establish and maintain control over large swaths of territory. While in late 2015 and 2016 the Nigerian Armed Forces took back most JAS controlled areas, the fighting caused additional mass displacement, especially in Borno State. The child protection needs in the North East are complex and enormous. The number of actors working on child protection has expanded, however, the child protection needs far outstrip the capacities and resources of government and non-government actors and there is a risk of duplication of activities.<\/p>\n\n
