Abstract

According to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-Moon (2014), Displacement remains arguably the most significant humanitarian challenge facing the world. Of the 33.3 million IDPs in the world, Sub-Saharan Africa hosts 15 million, with an increase of 7.5% between 2013 and 2014. As the number of IDPs continues to increase, attempts at management become more challenging for riddled countries. The outbreak of the Boko Haram insurgency in 2009 has steadily become the single greatest cause of displacement in the Lake Chad Basin region, with more than 2.3 million people becoming refugees, internally displaced people (IDPs).  After surviving the Boko Haram insurgency, people of the Northeast now battle life -threatening hunger and malnutrition in the IDPs camp. Nutritional status is a major determinant of health and well-being of IDPs.

 

 

 

 

CHAPTER ONE

                                        INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the study

The insurgency by Jama’atu Ahlus-Sunna Lidda’Awati Wal Jihad (Boko Haram) in north-east Nigeria and the Government’s counter-insurgency operations have killed thousands of civilians and led to the internal displacement of over 2 million people, the vast majority in Borno State. The terror campaign by Boko Haram has led to the utter destruction of towns and villages and the homes and livelihoods of affected populations. As areas have been recovered following offensives by Nigerian security forces and the Multinational Joint Task Force, the full extent of the human suffering and humanitarian crisis has been revealed, with severe levels of malnutrition and food insecurity threatening the lives of tens of thousands, particularly children. Although the Nigerian security forces have made significant gains, Boko Haram remains a menacing presence causing further displacement, hampering safe returns and severely impeding humanitarian access. In December 2016, the situation in the north-east was described by the United Nations as the largest humanitarian crisis in Africa. Urgent action is required to save lives in the short-term emergency phase, and to begin the difficult process of recovery. Ensuring access by humanitarian partners and that urgent food, shelter, medical care, water and sanitation and other essential services reach internally displaced persons and others in need without delay must be the highest priority. Equally, ensuring the protection of vulnerable internally displaced persons, many traumatized by violence, fear, starvation and displacement, must be a paramount concern. Evidence of widespread human rights violations in the north-east by non-State armed groups and State actors means that the situation must also be recognized as a human rights crisis. Camps for internally displaced persons have been targeted by Boko Haram, and many such persons have been killed as a result of military operations. Internally displaced persons are highly vulnerable and a high percentage of them are women and children. Urgent action is needed to address an epidemic of exploitation and starvation and malnutrition. Camps for internally displaced persons must be places of safety, yet sexual exploitation and sexual violence, including demands for transactional sex to access food and non-food items are increase, attempts at management become more challenging for riddled countries.

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Internal displacement in Nigeria is a recurring and large-scale phenomenon and has affected most of the country’s 36 states. Africa’s largest populated country has seen many waves of displacement, both small and large scale, caused essentially by conflict, generalized violence, natural disasters and human rights violations. As at the end of 2014, of the global 38 million forcefully displaced by armed conflicts and generalized violence, Nigeria accounted for at least one million. Internally displaced persons (IDPs) are among the most vulnerable groups with the highest global acute malnutrition (GAM).

In Nigeria, the number of IDPs has more than doubled in the span of three years, from some 868,000 people identified by the Nigerian Government in the north-eastern regions at the end of 2014 to 1.7 million people by June 2017, according the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) report released by IOM. The conflict has increasingly spilled into neighbouring countries, with increased infiltration, suicide-bombings, attacks and recruitment by the armed group, prompting population movements from northern Nigeria across borders to Cameroon, Chad and Niger. Growing insecurity in the region has led to an increase in the number of refugees by more than 20 per cent in two years, from 160,000 people registered in June 2015 to more than 207,000 in June 2017. New refugee arrivals are anticipated to continue in the second half of 2017. Normal economic activities in areas of Cameroon’s Far North, Niger’s Diffa and Chad’s Lake Chad regions have been severely disrupted. The vast majority of IDPs and Nigerian refugees have expressed an intention to return to their areas of origin, while almost all continue to cite significant barriers to return, including insecurity and lack of access to their home areas as well as to food and shelter. Nevertheless, significant numbers of Nigerian refugees have returned from neighbouring countries of asylum, sometimes under circumstances deemed by UNHCR to fall short of international standards, including the adherence to the principle of non-refoulement. Since April 2017, significant numbers of refugees have also returned in self-organized movements, bringing the number of Nigerian returnees to close to 135,000 registered between January and June 2017. Current trends show that similar self-organized return movements will likely continue. The alarming high rate of malnutrition among IDPs can be attributed to various complex set of factors and causes that may include: poor housing conditions, poor environmental sanitation, limited awareness on health, nutrition and sanitation issues, inadequate food intake, lack of access to adequate health services, lack of access to clean water, proper sanitation service, poverty, etc. it is in view of the above that the researcher intend to examine the strategies for managing malnutrition in internally displaced persons camps in Abuja

1.3 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The main objective of the study is to examine the strategies for management of malnutrition in internally displaced persons camps. But to aid the completion of the study, the researcher intend to achieve the following specific objectives:

1. i) To examine the effect malnutrition on the health of internally displaced persons camp in Abuja metropolis
2. ii) To examine the strategies adopted in IDPs camp in combatting malnutrition

iii) To ascertain the role of government in ameliorating the pandemic of hunger in IDPs camp in Nigeria

1. iv) To examine the effect of malnutrition on the health of people in IDPs camps

1.4 RESEARCH QUESTIONS

The following research questions were formulated by the researcher to aid the completion of the study;

1. i) Are they effect of malnutrition on the health of internally displaced persons camp in Abuja metropolis?
2. ii) Are the strategies adopted in IDPS camps in combatting malnutrition effective?

iii) Does the government play any role in ameliorating the pandemic of hunger in IDPs camp in Nigeria?

1. iv) Are there any effect of malnutrition on the health of people in IDPs camps?

1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

It is believed that at the completion of the study, the findings will be of importance to the management of IDPs camps as the study seek to explore the effect of malnutrition on the inhabitant of the camp. The study will also be of importance to the humanitarian organizations and individual as the study seek to explore the avenue in which government and other humanitarian organization can collaborate to proffer solution to this pandemic. The study will also be useful to researchers, who intend to embark on a study in a similar topic as the study will serve as a reference point to further research. Finally the study will be of importance to students, teachers, lecturers academia’s and the general public as the study will contribute to the pool of existing literature and also contribute to knowledge on the subject matter.

1.6 SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

The scope of the study covers management of malnutrition in internally displaced persons camps in Abuja. But in the cause of the study, there are some factors that limited the scope of the study;

FINANCE: Due to the nature of office and business within the scope, the researcher spends a lot of money on visiting, traveling from one location to another, from one office to the other and even had to repeat a visit more than three times to seek for information, all these involves money considering the financial constraint of the researcher and limited resources available to her.

SOURCES OF INFORMATION: Many registered and non-registered staffs of citizens and residents in Oredo Local Government Area of Edo State were reluctant to give out or provide information about the research, since they believe that street trading and rape is something very confidential and therefore could not open up to the researcher.

INADEQUATE RECORD KEEPING: Some of the respondents visited were unable to present complete and comprehensive records of their business .while some were not keeping proper records of their business activities and as such could not give adequate and correct information on the effect of vat on their businesses rippling on the economy of Nigeria.

TIME: Time constraint has been another vital limitation and obstacle towards effective realization of the main objectives of this study. Time was really not on my side since I have to combine the little time left with my academic work and preparation.
