Mission Report: An NGO Perspective on the Response to the Humanitarian Crisis in Northeastern Nigeria

Upon the invitation of the NGO Forum in Nigeria, Vice-President for Humanitarian Policy and Practice Patricia McIlreavy and Director of Humanitarian Practice Julien Schopp traveled to Nigeria from March 28 through April 8, 2016. Visiting both Abuja and Maiduguri, the team reviewed humanitarian practice and policy issues, including inter-agency response leadership; NGO coordination structures; the implementation of Transformative Agenda best practices; and humanitarian access and delivery modalities.

Within this report, written by the mission participants, InterAction provides observations, key findings and recommendations for Nigeria and the wider Inter-Agency Standing Committee.
