Action Contre la Faim recruits 01 Consultant for groundwater study



Action Contre la Faim recruits 01 Consultant for groundwater study 

Description
  1. PROJECT BACKGROUND

 

  • Rationale for the Project

In 2019, 7.1 million people (2.3 million girls, 1.9 million boys, 1.6 million women and 1.3 million men) are in need of humanitarian assistance in north-east Nigeria as a result of a crisis that is now in its tenth year. Across the three affected states of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe (BAY), 7.1 million people are estimated to be in need of humanitarian assistance in 2019 out of the total population of 13.4 million.

 

To combat the groundwater monitoring challenges in northeast Nigeria, in December 2018 Action Against Hunger met with the Nigeria Hydrological Service Agency (NiHSA). The objective was to review the groundwater monitoring system set up, gaps and opportunities. NiHSA has eight (8) Area Offices in each of the eight (8) Hydrological Areas in the country, with two (2) field offices operating under each Area Office; however, not all the field offices are operational. In the northeast Hydrological Area (Basin Chad) NiHSA has an area office in Maiduguri town and a field office in Damaturu town.

 

  • Geographical scope covered by the Analysis

The study will focus on All LGAs in Borno (17) and Damaturu in Yobe state.
