Consultant Grant Impact Assessment
Consultant Title: Lead Consultant
Resumption: Immediately
Location: Damaturu & Yusufari
Job Type: Full Time
Qualification: BA/BSc/HND
Period of Performance: 11th September to 30th September 2023
According to the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) of 2022, about 8.4 million people need assistance across the BAY states. Gender-based violence (GBV) continues to be a major protection concern facing IDP women and girls in northeast Nigeria. The protracted nature of the conflict continues to displace millions of people, the majority of whom are women and girls. Many of them find themselves trapped in a vicious cycle of violence including sexual or gender-based violence (SGBV), exacerbated by pre-existing gender inequalities. Incidences of GBV, especially intimate partner violence including sexual violence, continue to be reported across the BAY states. The vast majority affected are women or girls, though a significant number of boys are also victims of sexual violence. There are limited prevention mechanisms and response services to address GBV and sexual and reproductive health for women and girls, including mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS). Analysis of MSNA data indicates that a large percentage (78%) of households with GBV survivors lack access to psychosocial support services. There is also a huge need for legal services for women, girls, boys and men affected by GBV (of whom 65% reported needing such services, per the HNO) and a similar percentage (61%) of women and girls who reported needing safe spaces within their community. An estimated 1.3 million individuals need GBV prevention and response services across the BAY states in 2022 (of whom 46% are IDPs, 23% are returnees, and 31% are host communities; 82% are women or girls). The majority (63%) of those in need are in Borno State, 22% in Adamawa and 15% in Yobe.
AFRYDEV with funding support from Nigerian Humanitarian Fund (NHF) is implementing this project in Damaturu and Yusufari. The project will provide lifesaving GBV specialized service to women and girls in affected communities focusing on addressing the gap in dignity and menstrual hygiene management by reducing the impact of GBV through identification, services, restoration of skills acquisition and access to safe spaces by women and adolescent girls as well as improving quality of service through institutional strengthening and community engagement in GBV prevention and response. This project is linked to the NHF strategic allocation 2022 and the Gender-Based Violence (GBV) sector strategic objectives of provision of specialized services to victims of GBV, distribution of dignity kits, capacity building training for survivors on Voluntary Saving Loans (VSL) service providers and community awareness through localization of GBV prevention of response in crisis-affected areas of Yobe State.
Project Brief:
- Funded by NHF with a budget of $99,369.81 for 11 months duration.
- Target locations: Damaturu and Yusufari LGAs of Yobe State.
- Main activities:
- Case management and psychosocial support for GBV survivors in Yusufari and Damaturu LGAs.
- Strengthening capacity of service providers on provision of PSS to women and adolescent girls’ survivors in Yusufari and Damaturu LGAs.

Lead Facilitator
Consultancy Title: Lead Facilitator
Location: Damaturu & Yusufari
Period of Performance: 19th to 30th June 2023
Project: Strengthening localization of GBV prevention and Response through increased knowledge, skills and services delivery for vulnerable women, girls and GBV survivors to address critical gaps in dignity and menstrual hygiene Management in Damaturu and Yusufari LGAs Yobe state.
Project Description
According to the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) of 2022, about 8.4 million people need assistance across the BAY states. Gender-based violence (GBV) continues to be a major protection concern facing IDP women and girls in northeast Nigeria. The protracted nature of the conflict continues to displace millions of people, the majority of whom are women and girls. Many of them find themselves trapped in a vicious cycle of violence including sexual or gender-based violence (SGBV), exacerbated by pre-existing gender inequalities. Incidences of GBV, especially intimate partner violence including sexual violence, continue to be reported across the BAY states. The vast majority affected are women or girls, though a significant number of boys are also victims of sexual violence. There are limited prevention mechanisms and response services to address GBV and sexual and reproductive health for women and girls, including mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS). Analysis of MSNA data indicates that a large percentage (78%) of households with GBV survivors lack access to psychosocial support services. There is also a huge need for legal services for women, girls, boys and men affected by GBV (of whom 65% reported needing such services, per the HNO) and a similar percentage (61%) of women and girls who reported needing safe spaces within their community. An estimated 1.3 million individuals need GBV prevention and response services across the BAY states in 2022 (of whom 46% are IDPs, 23% are returnees, and 31% are host communities; 82% are women or girls). The majority (63%) of those in need are in Borno State, 22% in Adamawa and 15% in Yobe.
AFRYDEV with funding support from Nigerian Humanitarian Fund (NHF) is implementing this project in Damaturu and Yusufari. The project will provide lifesaving GBV specialised service to women and girls in affected communities focusing on addressing the gap in dignity and menstrual hygiene management by reducing the impact of GBV through identification, services, restoration of skills acquisition and access to safe spaces by women and adolescent girls as well as improving quality of service through institutional strengthening and community engagement in GBV prevention and response. This project is linked to the NHF strategic allocation 2022 and the Gender-Based Violence (GBV) sector strategic objectives of provision of specialized services to victims of GBV, distribution of dignity kits, capacity building training for service providers and community awareness through localization of GBV prevention of response in crisis-affected areas of Yobe State.
