In Northeast Nigeria, the impact of explosive ordnance continues to pose serious threats to lives, livelihoods, and community development. Survivors of such incidents often face long-term physical, emotional, and economic challenges that require targeted and sustained support.
To address these challenges, Centre for Social Cohesion, Peace and Empowerment (CENSCOPE), in partnership with United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS), and with generous support from European Union (EU) and Government of Japan, continues to deliver comprehensive victim assistance interventions across 11 Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Borno and Yobe States.
Through our network of dedicated social workers and field teams, CENSCOPE is reaching survivors in some of the most affected and hard-to-reach communities. These frontline teams are providing complimentary packages designed to support victims in addressing immediate needs—including access to essential supplies, medical care, and psychosocial support—while helping them rebuild livelihoods through long-term empowerment initiatives.
Victim assistance goes beyond immediate humanitarian response. It serves as a crucial bridge between emergency aid and sustainable recovery. Through this initiative, data collected by our case workers and social teams helps to identify service gaps, inform Explosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE) activities, and support broader humanitarian coordination efforts in the region.
💙 This initiative reflects our shared commitment to restoring hope, promoting resilience, and ensuring that no survivor is left behind.
🤝 Together with UNMAS, European Union (EU), and Government of Japan, we are building stronger, safer communities across Northeast Nigeria — communities where survivors are empowered to live with dignity, rebuild lives, and contribute meaningfully to peace and development.
