NRC’s operation
We help those displaced inside formal and informal camp settlements, as well as vulnerable host communities, while assessing who needs our help the most. NRC responds to rapid displacements and natural disasters (floods and fires) through the rapid response mechanism, by distributing emergency NFIs and food supplies.

While the Nigerian government has encouraged displaced people to move back home to their communities, our 2017 report, Not Ready to Return, found that 86 per cent of displaced people in north-east Nigeria are afraid to return. We recommend better integration planning and the provision of accurate information for those who want to relocate or return home.
