Six things everyone should know
Gender-based violence
In crises, violence against women and girls rises. Safe spaces, case management and engaging men are proven ways to respond.
Child malnutrition
Severe acute malnutrition can be treated in the community with early screening, therapeutic food and counselling for mothers.
Water and disease
Cholera spreads where water and sanitation fail. Working boreholes, latrines and hygiene save lives.
Explosive ordnance
Unexploded devices still threaten farmers and children in Borno. Knowing how to spot and report them saves lives.
Disability inclusion
People with disabilities are often left behind in emergencies. Inclusion means designing every service with them.
Floods and climate
Floods are becoming more frequent. Anticipatory action gets cash and supplies to families before disaster hits.
