Development of Nigeria Emergency Preparedness Platform: I served as National UNICEF Emergency focal person to support the development of “Nigeria Emergency Preparedness Platform”, it covers Across all the six geo-political zones of Nigeria, the Nigeria sub-national risk analysis covers 12 different risks at the level of Local Government Areas (LGA), including floods; epidemics; and conflict and violence. This initiative was led by the Government of Nigeria via the National Emergency Management Agency under the supervision of the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development (FMHADMSD) with support from UNICEF. The objective of this analysis is to eliminate or curtail the impact of these multiple risks, by assessing and forecasting the risks people face at the community level, understanding related vulnerabilities and capacities, and fostering effective risk management approaches among agencies addressing the same or similar threats. See the link https://nema.gov.ng/ and click on the “Emergency Preparedness Platform” menu.

Development of Kaduna State Emergency Preparedness and Contingency Planning: I served as National UNICEF Emergency focal person to support the development of Kaduna State Emergency Management Agency (KADSEMA) in the development of the platform. The Emergency Preparedness site was designed to serve as the Kaduna State Government's Emergency preparedness actions repository. The data and information on this site include risk analysis and disaster management-related plans across the different sectors designed to improve emergency preparedness coordination. The overall objective of the 2022-2023 Kaduna State Contingency Plan is to ensure that Government, development partners, and Civil Society mount a timely and coordinated response to the impact of armed violence, flooding and cholera in a gender-sensitive manner to minimize potential negative humanitarian consequences and ensure the early recovery of affected communities. The contingency plan is to ensure that vulnerable people who experience multi-sectoral and high- severity risks in the Northwest states have reduced morbidity and mortality through equitable and dignified access to critical cross-sectoral essential services to meet their needs. Following the outcome of the emergency and preparedness workshop conducted by us in Zaria Kaduna State, it was estimated that 300,000 people would require humanitarian assistance in the most likely scenario; therefore, the estimated budget requirement for emergency preparedness is Five Hundred Million Naira (N500,000,000). Based on the quality of our work, the Kaduna State government has approved the budget for funding. See the link https://kdsg.gov.ng/ click on the “Programme” Menu and Select “KD Emergency Preparedness Platform”.

Development of Yobe State GBV Standard Operating Procedure booklet with partners: I served as Consultant to develop Yobe State GBV SOPs and it was printed as a handbook for Yobe State partners. The Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are recognized as international best practices during an emergency humanitarian action to boost coordination and quality of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) prevention and response interventions. Developing SOPs in an emergency setting has proven to be essential to promote coordination in service delivery and to boost coordination and enhance the quality of GBV programming for both response and prevention. This document describes minimum actions to be taken to respect international standards and a survivor-centered approach in caring for GBV survivors within the Yobe State humanitarian response. It outlines the guiding principles, procedures, and roles and responsibilities of all actors for the response to and prevention of GBV in this context. By setting out minimum standards to ensure quality, coordination and coherence among organizations and actors, this SOP aim to facilitate joint action by all actors to respond to, prevent and mitigate GBV within the Yobe State humanitarian response, and to improve services offered to GBV survivors and all individuals exposed to GBV.

Development of Yobe State GBV Referral Pathways booklet: I worked as a consultant to create the Yobe State GBV Referral Pathways for Gender Based Violence Sub-Sector Working Group GBVSSWG partners. In order to guarantee that survivors are active participants in defining their needs and selecting the solutions that best satisfy those needs, it encourages the use of a survivor-centered approach. It can be used by service providers to monitor service delivery, follow up with survivors, and advocate for survivors' access to resources. 5 P a g e
