Aquaculture Interventions for Improving Food Security in NE Nigeria

Due to the crisis, the security situation around the Lake Chad has become volatile and led to a halt in fishing activities. Today, many youth and women can no longer rely on fishing, making them vulnerable to food insecurity and unemployment, increasing their dependency on food aid

It was against this background that, FAO, WFP and UN Women keyed into 2017 Humanitarian Response Plan led by Presidential Committee for the Northeast Initiative to bring peace, stability/social cohesion and economic recovery among the affected populace. This led to the birth of joint resilience and response project funded by EUTF targeting 13 LGAs in Borno State for 3 years. One of the component of this project is
provision of aquaculture starter kits and fish processing kits to the affected communities.
