NEEDS ASSESSMENT

The devastating effect of the Boko Haram conflict on the north eastern states of Nigeria, especially Adamawa state requires both national and international efforts for reconstruction and development. It was reported that over 500,000 people (about 14% of the population of 3.7 million), were displaced in Adamawa State, with a roll over effect on production, agriculture, family life and most importantly education. An estimated 80,000 are in Internally displaced camps. The conflict resulted in emotional, physical and psychological damages in adults and severe traumas in children. The urgent need for recovery, re-integration, reconstruction and counseling cannot be over emphasized. It has affected school enrolment and drew education and child development decades backward.
The insurgency was characterized by annexation of territories, incessant suicide bombings and massive attacks on civilian targets. The human cost and the effect on women and children was enormous. The state government had to redirect all its resources and attention towards the provision of relief materials and other humanitarian services alongside alternative security measures for the growing numbers of civilian casualties. The repercussions of the insurgency and its tedious reconstruction and resettlement under economic recession have driven Adamawa state down the lane of serious socio-economic and educational trauma whose severity translates governments` inability to finance scholarship activities.
