Background of the Study
The displacement of populations due to conflict in northeastern Nigeria has created significant challenges for affected communities, including those in Madagali Local Government Area (LGA), Adamawa State. The humanitarian crisis caused by insurgency and instability has led to a large number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) seeking refuge in various areas, including Madagali. As a response, donor-funded initiatives have been launched to provide humanitarian aid and long-term support to the displaced populations. These initiatives typically cover areas such as shelter, food security, education, healthcare, and livelihood support, aimed at improving the well-being of IDPs and facilitating their reintegration into society.
Despite the large number of donor-funded interventions in Madagali, there is limited empirical research evaluating the effectiveness of these initiatives in addressing the complex needs of displaced populations. This study seeks to assess the impact of donor-funded programs on the economic, social, and psychological recovery of IDPs in Madagali, highlighting their role in rebuilding lives and communities. By focusing on these interventions, the research will offer insights into the sustainability and challenges of donor-supported initiatives in post-conflict recovery.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
While several donor-funded initiatives have been implemented to support displaced populations in Madagali LGA, there is insufficient research on their effectiveness in addressing both immediate humanitarian needs and long-term recovery.
