In 2017, over 4 million people received humanitarian and recovery assistance from 18 INGOs across 50 LGAs in north-east states of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe. WASH has the highest reach of all the nine listed sectors, with two INGOs involved in recovery initiatives (livelihood, mine risk education and peace building).
National staff made up 91% of the total 1,307 staff of ten INGOs working in the north-east response.
