BAY states rainy season response plan

A humanitarian preparedness and response plan for northeast Nigeria’s BAY states, produced with humanitarian partners and covering June to December 2024. Developed through the Inter-Sector Coordination Group, it targets life-saving support for an estimated 250,000 people at risk from seasonal flooding and disease outbreaks, especially cholera.

The document sets out the risks and needs: forecasts of above-average rainfall, possible overflow from Cameroon’s Lagdo Dam, water and sanitation gaps in IDP camps, access and road constraints, and the added pressure on women and children. It then lays out the response strategy, coordination structure, priority locations by state, and sector plans. These cover health and shelter, CCCM and non-food items, each with key figures, emergency response actions for 1-3 and up to 6 months, and the LGAs and partners involved.
