The opportunity

Plan International Nigeria, as part of its commitment to improving the lives of people in the country, especially in the communities we serve and ensuring that issues limiting the opportunity for people to live a life devoid of disaster is commencing a project on climate resilience project in Adamawa and Yobe States. The project designed as a four-year intervention, up scalable to 12 years, is expected to have a spiral effect in other parts of the country beyond the project implementation states. While the project will apply the Climate Resilience Measurement for Communities (CRMC) to address flood incidence in the project states, it will also focus on engagement with relevant federal government agencies on flooding and other climate-related matters. Project actions at the states will serve as models for purposeful interventions that could be expanded to the national level.

The project will focus on making communities more resilient to floods by supporting systems strengthening and providing relevant technical reinforcement to emergency management structures that need to be strengthened at the community level linked to LGA and the state levels up to the national level, ensuring coordination and purposeful collaboration among the agencies.

The project is developed in line with our ambition to scale up our humanitarian-development-peace (HDP) nexus in Nigeria by promoting strong coordination across humanitarian and development programming and influencing.

The Climate Resilience Project Coordinator will serve as a specialist on the intervention, providing technical leadership and management oversight to the project team.
