NRC Central and West Africa

BREAKING No humanitarian crisis should be overlooked. In 2024, Cameroon topped the list of neglected crises according to a new NRC report. Displacement isn't a distant crisis; it's a shared responsibility which cannot be ignored. nrc.no/news/2025/june…

In conflict-affected areas, the simplest things – such as eggs – are sometimes out of reach. Working with @eu_echo, we are helping families in #Nigeria improve their diets through chickens and egg production.

#Nigeria: In Plateau, we helped Azumi rebuild her hairstyling business after intercommunal clashes. Her salon now serves more clients, restoring income for her family and proving the value of livelihood recovery programmes. Thanks to BMZ-funded support through @giz_gmbh.

#Nigeria: In Plateau State, we’re working with @giz_gmbh to train farmers in drip irrigation, helping them grow better crops and become seed suppliers for their communities. Stronger skills today mean more food and income for tomorrow.

#Nigeria: Having an ID isn't just paperwork, it's a right. That's why we're working with @nimc_ng in Plateau State to help people get their national ID numbers. With support from GIZ, we're ensuring they can access essential services and fully belong in their communities.

In Nigeria, our partnership with GIZ is connecting young people with master shoemakers to learn the trade. These aren’t just skills, they’re tools for independence. Trainees leave ready to build livelihoods, bit by bit. This is how communities grow stronger from the ground up.

In Plateau State, we're teaming up with local bakeries to train young people in the pastry business. They learn the full trade, not just recipes, but how to earn from it. They graduate with skills and tools to start their own businesses. Real independence starts here.

#Nigeria: Resilience has no off days, and dignity is non-negotiable. With @OCHANigeria #NHF support, we've delivered 2,450 #MenstrualHygiene kits to women & girls affected by #MaiduguriFloods - because true recovery addresses even the silent struggles

Thousands of refugees have crossed into Uganda from eastern DRC in 2025—nearly 5x more than last year. At the Kisoro border, transit sites are overwhelmed, and deep aid cuts are crippling Uganda’s refugee response. 📸 Uganda-DRC border, Kisoro

Haoua and Mangawa fled violence in the Central African Republic a decade ago, only to find themselves living a life in limbo — not safe to return home and without a stable future in #Cameroon.

We’ve distributed cholera kits to 500 families and are scaling up efforts to protect even more people. People have lost their lives as a result of the floods. We cannot allow the risk of diseases to take even more lives.

We’ve deployed community-based hygiene promoters to educate communities on how to stay safe, from handwashing to safe water use. Meanwhile, disinfection teams are treating public spaces to prevent disease outbreaks before they start.

#Nigeria: Following the devastating flash floods in Yola South, Adamawa, the threat is not yet over. With stagnant water, damaged toilets and overcrowded shelters, families face rising risks of cholera, skin infections and waterborne diseases. There is no time to lose.

More people than ever before are fleeing their homeland in search of safety. But where are they fleeing from? This animation, made with @f_l_o_u_r_i_s_h, tells the story of the last 50 years.

A child from DRC looks out of a bus window at Nyakabande Transit Centre in Uganda as he waits for transport to a refugee settlement. Since January, over 66,800 refugees have arrived from DRC, adding to Uganda's 1.9m refugee population, while funding for essential aid dwindles.

#Cameroon is the most neglected crisis in the world, ignored by the media and under-funded by donors. Without urgent action, millions will continue to suffer in silence. Watch to understand why Cameroon cannot wait any longer ⬇️

“We don't have money and clothes.” – Azila, who fled #Sudan with her children. Nearly 1M people have fled to #Chad – one of the world’s poorest countries – now at the centre of the largest displacement crisis.

Flash floods have devastated Yola South in Adamawa State, #Nigeria, killing at least 25 people and displacing over 5,560. Homes were submerged in the middle of the night, and entire neighbourhoods became inaccessible. Families are in urgent need.

#Nigeria For displaced communities, securing land documents is a major challenge, leaving many at risk of losing their homes and property. With 🇪🇺EU’s support, we’re ensuring those in need can access these documents free of charge. @ECHO_CWAfrica @eu_echo
