UNICEF Response

UNHCR is setting up three refugee camps in Diffa region. As of March 2015, only Sayam Forage camp is functional and hosts 700 refugees. UNICEF is supporting the installation by providing squatting plates, water bladders, NFIs and as well as recreational and ECD kits to UNHCR to ensure access to water and sanitation and support safe spaces for children as part of child protection. In parallel, UNICEF will continue to support displaced people and host communities outside the camps.

UNICEF, in collaboration with COOPI, ensures psychosocial support activities in Diffa for 9,750 children through outreach and mobile strategies with a special geographic focus on the Lake Chad Islands. COOPI installed its psychosocial support dispositive in Gagamari (transit site) and Sayam Forage (refugee camp). UNICEF is also working on the implementation of a Child Protection Monitoring system in Diffa.

UNICEF is planning to send additional essential medicines in Diffa to cover 10,000 children and to organize a measles vaccination targeting 193,000 children 9 months to 14 years old, in the health districts not covered by the previous measles vaccination campaign.

IEDA Relief began its programme of cholera prevention since November 2014. Purification tabs distribution and sensitization have been organized in Chetimari and Diffa where the epidemics was under control at the end of 2014. Since 26 January 2015 and before the recent attacks in Diffa, IEDA was working in the villages where 26 new cases have been registered in 2015 (including 0 death).
UNICEF also supported the development of radio messages broadcasted on local radios in six languages (also reaching the Islands on Lake Chad) and the dissemination of video spots through the Cinema Numérique Ambulant.

In order to ensure access to quality primary education for displaced communities, UNICEF in collaboration with COOPI identified 10 schools (part of the 13 mentioned in the table) that are integrating displaced children. UNICEF is strengthening their capacities by building additional classrooms, training teachers, and providing additional educational supplies for teachers and children.
