Response Option Analysis for Jere, Konduga and MMC (Borno), Inter-sector Workshop
In March 2017, the Consortium began the pilot in Nigeria with the aim of providing technical and strategic support to country-based humanitarian organisations, enabling them to engage in collaborative assessments and decision making. Whilst the Consortium has not been conceived to provide direct assistance to crisis-affected populations, it is intended to have an indirect, positive impact on their lives, by means of influencing humanitarian actors to design better quality and more collaborative MPG programmes. As such, it supports and is line with the commitments made by donors and humanitarian partners as part of the Grand Bargain.
The pilot project provides information and analysis for selected LGAs in Borno State:
– Basic needs of crisis-affected people, through the Basic Needs Assessment (BNA)
– Minimum expenditure basket (MEB)
– Market functionality and related feasibility of CTP, through the Multi-Sector Market Assessment (MSMA)
– Payment mechanisms and financial service providers
– Partners’ and government’s capacity to implement Cash Transfer Programming (CTP)
– Effectiveness of MPG, based on existing experiences
