The African Development Bank (AfDB) has provided a $1-million grant from its Special Relief Fund to support emergency food aid in flood-affected communities across Northeastern Nigeria.
The initiative, in partnership with the World Food Programme (WFP), aims to alleviate the worsening humanitarian crisis caused by recent flooding.
The intervention comes in response to the devastating September 2024 floods in Borno, which have intensified food insecurity in a region already struggling with the impact of conflict, displacement and poverty.
