Background of the Study
Damboa Local Government Area (LGA) in Borno State, located in the northeastern region of Nigeria, has faced significant challenges in child nutrition due to socio-economic conditions exacerbated by conflict and geopolitical trends. The ongoing insurgency, displacement of populations, and regional insecurity have contributed to food scarcity, limited access to healthcare, and hindered the effectiveness of child nutrition programs (Ibrahim & Musa, 2023). In this context, geopolitical trends, such as shifts in regional political power, aid allocation, and policy priorities, play a significant role in determining the success or failure of child nutrition programs in the area. This study seeks to evaluate the influence of these geopolitical trends on the implementation and effectiveness of child nutrition programs in Damboa LGA, with particular focus on the role of governance, regional instability, and international aid in shaping child nutrition outcomes.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite efforts by governmental and non-governmental organizations to address child malnutrition in Damboa, ongoing geopolitical challenges, including armed conflict and displacement, have severely impacted the implementation of nutrition programs. Geopolitical trends, such as shifts in political leadership and regional power dynamics, affect the allocation of resources, policy decisions, and the coordination of aid efforts, ultimately undermining the effectiveness of these programs. This study aims to assess how these geopolitical factors influence child nutrition outcomes in Damboa LGA.
