Rebuilding Ngarannam by UNDP NIGERIA

Dana Adam is a single mother of three (3) children and her family represent one family household of hundreds in the Ngarannam community that were displaced from their homes due to extremism. Ngarannam is located in Northeast Nigeria in the State of Borno. The community was attacked and destroyed by the Boko Haram insurgency in 2015, causing Dana and hundreds of others to flee, leaving everything behind to live in a camp for internally displaced people(IDP) for over eight (8) years. Dana recalls what happened, “We were attacked by Boko Haram but we fled and stayed in Muna Camp”. Fortunately, the Nigerian Government, with support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and its partners, were able to develop a sustainable solution for Dana and the Ngarannam community by rebuilding their homes.

@africacenter 1/3 Interesting map, but it's rather more complicated than that. The northeast is a mixture of militant Islamic groups and Criminal gangs, and the fact that Security sector violence against civilians is missing from the northeast is a serious mistake. #Nigeria #Bokoharam #ISIS #Tinubu #LakeChadbasin

Fascinating survey results from Radio Ndarason International's annual survey (2000 people), broadcasting in 3 local languages across the Lake Chad Basin. DM me for a copy.

@Nonog 'Sahel becoming a media desert' ? Radio is still thriving. The FM and shortwave network Radio Ndarason International (ndarason.com), for example employs over 60 people and covers the Lake Chad Basin, an area 5 times the size of France, in three local languages.
