Overview of position

Project Title: Mitigation of explosive risks to enhance the protection and resilience of civilian population in north-east Nigeria

Northeast Nigeria is facing a problem of weapons and explosive hazard contamination as a result of protracted conflict. The presence of explosive remnants of war (ERW), improvised explosive devices (IED) and landmines of an improvised nature, poses a serious threat to civilians as well as to United Nations and humanitarian personnel operating in the north-east of the country. Our client deployed to Nigeria in April 2017 to conduct an Explosive Threat Scoping mission to Nigeria which resulted in the recommendation of the establishment of a humanitarian mine action coordination and support capacity in Maiduguri and immediate provision as appropriate, technical response to the explosive contamination impacting the humanitarian crisis in the northeast. In addition, the General Officer Commanding (GOC) for Division 7 of the Nigerian Army made a request through the Deputy Humanitarian Coordinator in December 2017, to have Our client's presence in the northeast. The GOC highlighted the negative implications of the explosive threat including Improvised Explosive Devices and Unexploded Ordnance on IDP return, livelihoods and return to normalcy in the northeast of Nigeria. In 2018 Our client established a permanent presence to implement a mine action programme in Nigeria to:

  • Improve the protection of civilians and facilitate humanitarian assistance

  • Enhance national capacity to mitigate explosive threats and enable compliance with international treaty obligations;

  • Reduce the explosive threat to United Nations personnel and humanitarian workers.

According to the 2020 Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO), 8.7 million people including 1.7 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) and 1.2 people returnees are in need of humanitarian assistance in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe (BAY) States in north-east Nigeria due to the ongoing crisis. Given the widespread explosive ordnance contamination and prevalent use of IEDs by non-state armed groups, the 2021 NHO identifies 1.5 million people in need of mine action in northeast Nigeria. There were 259 explosive incidents in 2020, and another 216 incidents took place from January to June 2021. From 2016 till June 2021, 1,247 people were killed and 2,048 injured, out of which 748 civilians were killed and1297 civilians were injured. The 2021 NHO indicates 75% of incidents involving unexploded ordnance could have been prevented by non-technical surveys (NTS) to identify and mark suspected contaminated areas and release safe land and roads and explosive ordnance risk education (EORE) to deliver life-saving knowledge and foster safe behaviour. The need for EORE remains high particularly in Borno with 1.16 million people in need but also in Adamawa and Yobe where more than 200,000 and 176,000 people respectively need EORE.

Our client's Nigeria Programme takes a strategic, multi-year comprehensive approach for the protection of civilians and humanitarian actors through humanitarian mine action in northeast Nigeria, supported by multi-donor contributions. This approach encompasses a range of responses, including EORE, Conflict Prevention and Preparedness (CPP), Improvised Explosive Device Disposal (IEDD) and emergency medical response training for the national military and police forces, information management and explosive hazard mapping, and NTS, with coordination as key cross-cutting enabling factors.
