A total of 2,080 Displaced Persons from the Boko Haram insurgency, returnees and host IDPs communities have benefited from the World Bank Multi-sectoral Crisis  Recovery Project in Yobe State.

Each of the beneficiaries drawn from eight Local Government Areas of the State were assisted with animal ruminants including goats and sheep  as a measure to enable them reactivate their livelihoods which have been destroyed by the devastating effect of the Boko Haram crisis.

The presentation which were made by the State  Coordinator of the Yobe State Multi-sectoral Crisis Recovery Project(MCRP), Alhaji Musa Idi Jidawa called on the beneficiaries to take advantage of the intervention so that it will create the desired impact on their families.

Jidawa noted that the intervention is targeted at reactivating the economic status of the beneficiary household and boost his livelihood from the effect of the Boko Haram crisis.

"As you are aware, some of these people were very viable economic reliant people but the Boko Haram crisis sent them out of their home without notice. Our intervention is therefore geared towards helping these people and their household recover from the losses they incurred during the crisis and become economically self-reliant.

"My appeal to them is to take advantage of this strategic intervention and recover fast by making the best use of whatever is presented to them here," Jidawa said.

The Multi-sectoral  Crisis Recovery  Project has four (4) key components as follows: 

1.  Strengthening Peace Building, stability and Social Cohesion (to provide basic necessity kits, restore access to productive assets by providing agricultural inputs and livestock for farming families and trading commodities for non-farmers, establishing Peace Groups in communities and implementing social cohesion activities.

2. Rehabilitation of Physical and Social Infrastructure (in the areas of health, education, water & sanitation, transport and public building).

 3. Technical Assistance and Capacity Building and;

4.  Contingent Emergency Response component (to will allow for rapid reallocation of project funds in the event of a natural or man-made crisis in the future, during the implementation of the project, to address such eligible emergency needs)
