Learning from Youth in West Africa in COVID-19
In July 2020, volunteers from the West Africa CARE Youth Network decided to learn more about what young women and men are experiencing in COVID-19, and how that should shape CARE’s response and our advocacy interests. This team interviewed 128 young people between the ages of 15 and 35 in 8 countries. 86 of the young people (67%) were young women. Volunteers used Whatsapp messages, phone calls, and recorded interviews to let young people tell their own stories. With a few guiding questions, and using ONA as a platform to structure and analyze the responses, the team has been able to see regional trends and individual stories that must shape humanitarian response to COVID-19 and recovery efforts in way that include young people—especially young women, meet their needs, and value their voices and leadership.
Interviewers had a set of questions from CARE’s Rapid Gender Analysis toolkit, where they asked young people about the biggest impact COVID-19 has in their lives, their biggest need right now, how they are responding to COVID-19, and what are their hopes for the future. Listening to their answers, interviewers categorized the responses based on a pre-set list of options also from the RGA toolkit.

Even before the impact of the COVID- 19 pandemic, the crisis in Northeast Nigeria is one of the most severe in the world today. In the 3 most affected states in 2020, 7.9 million out of 13 million people needed humanitarian assistance—up 11% from 2019. 79% of the displaced people are women and children.

CARE Rapid Gender and GBV Assessment Borno State: Banki, Pulka and Rann
Rapid Gender and GBV assessments provide information about the different GBV risks, needs, capacities and coping strategies of women, men, boys and girls during crisis.

The analysis provides practical, programming and operational recommendations to meet the different needs of women, men, boys and girls, to ensure that humanitarian actors ‘do no harm’ in their operations. The global objective of this assessment is to improve the quality and effectiveness of CARE and partner’s response to the North East Nigeria crisis. Read More...
Adaptation Learning Programme (ALP) for Africa Narrative Report
This 103 page report for the Adaptation Learning Programme (ALP) covers an extension period from July 2015 to June 2017.

Rapid Gender And GBV Assessment in MMC and Jere Local Governments – Borno State
The unprecedented gender and protection implications of the NE Nigeria insurgency prompted CARE International to initiate a gender and GBV assessment. The assessment was undertaken in two phases: a desk review and consultation with stakeholders in March 2017 to gather relevant data of the gender and protection context in NE Nigeria in conflict and post-conflict situations, as well as information on existing legal provision and frameworks. A field assessment was conducted in January 2018, to complete the first assessment with primary data from affected women and men in Borno and Yobe states.

Gender and GBV analysis and operational suggestions – CARE Nigeria field Assessment
CARE international has deployed a multisector assessment team in North East Nigeria to assess the increasing humanitarian needs and inform CARE’s emergency Strategy and response programming. The assessment will look at the areas of food security, Sexual and reproductive Health and Gender based violence. The gender-specific dynamics and impacts of the insurgency require a strong focus on gender mainstreaming and sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) prevention and mitigation. Therefore a rapid gender and GBV analysis has been conducted with the global objective to improve the quality and effectiveness of CARE and partner’s response in the North East Nigeria through strong integration of gender equality and GBV at all stage of the humanitarian project cycle.
This analysis aim to provide answer to the following key questions:
• What are the different Impact of the insurgency for girls, women, boys and men and what
are the different needs of these groups?
• Who has access, and who has control over what resources and assistance? Who has the
decision among the family and the community? How the crisis has affected this power
relation, what social norms and practices affect the access and control?
• What are main GBV risks? Who is most affected and at-risk among girls, women, boys and
men? What are main social, cultural norms and practices that shape GBV in the Area?
• What are main GBV services providers and actors in the ground and what is their capacity to deliver? Do GBV survivors have access to comprehensive GBV services? What are main gaps
in service
• Formulate geographic and programmatic recommendations to guide CARE decision on GBV
• Develop a GAP to improve gender integration into the assistance. Read More...

Évaluation Multisectorielle Conjointe Des Besoins Des Populations Hotes, Deplacees Et Retournees Dans La Region Du LAC
La région du Lac, l’une des plus vulnérables du Tchad, fait face depuis le début de l’année 2015 à un déplacement massif des populations réfugiées, retournées et déplacées internes. En fin d’août 2015, les chiffres croisés de OCHA1 et HCR donnent à 84 898 le nombre des hommes et femmes déplacées dans la région. A ce chiffre s’ajoutent quelques 14 000 personnes déplacées internes installées en septembre autour de Ngouboua. Le caractère dynamique des déplacements et le problème d’accès à certaines zones rend difficile la maitrise du nombre des déplacés qui selon la CNARR atteindrait 127 000 personnes.
Les personnes déplacées ont fui les enlèvements, les assassinats odieux, les abus sexuels et autres pratiques esclavagistes perpétrées par les membres de la secte Boko Haram sur les hommes, les femmes, les filles et les garçons dans le Nord Nigeria et les villages tchadiens qui leurs sont frontaliers.
Les réfugiés sont accueillis au niveau du camp de Dar Es Salam alors que les retournés et les déplacés internes sont répartis dans quelques 19 sites d’accueil et communautés hôtes dans les zones de Bol et Bagasola. Cette dernière accueille presque 40% de son effectif sans aucune préparation ni mesures d’accompagnement, ce qui entraine une pression importante sur les ressources et services déjà insuffisants de la zone.
Les acteurs humanitaires dont les agences membres du système des Nations Unies, quelques ONG internationales et des ONG locales apportent l’assistance aux hommes et femmes déplacés mais leur capacité reste limitée en raison de problème d’accessibilité lié à la sécurité et de l’afflux régulier des populations déplacées depuis juillet 2015.
