08.01.2019

The proposed project seeks to contribute to the successful reinsertion and reintegration of former low-risk associates of Boko Haram and other NSAGs and promote long-term reconciliation in affected communities in North-East Nigeria. This will support the efforts of the GoN to promote peace, security and stability in Nigeria and the wider Lake Chad Basin region

  • Former Boko Haram associates receive adequate reinsertion services at Gombe Reinsertion Centre;
  • The foundations are in place for sustainable socio-economic reintegration of former associates of non-state armed groups. 

 
Main activities:

  • Database structure to collect and analyse biographical and biometric data of suspected Boko Haram associates is available to relevant authorities.
  • The Government of Nigeria has the capacity to carry out registrations, screening, categorization, and referrals;
  • Former associates of non-state armed groups receive adequate reinsertion services in Gombe.
  • The infrastructure for reinsertion services in Gombe Reinsertion Centre is in place.
  • Former associates of non-state armed groups have increased access to socio-economic support.
