RPCA

Funded by the European Union Emergency Trust Fund for Africa and implemented by FAO, WFP and UN Women, the project contributes to enhancing resilience of conflict affected people in Borno State while building on the humanitarian assistance provided by ECHO and other international actors and gradually moving into rehabilitation and recovery, thereby ensuring a smooth transition between EU emergency and development funding instruments. This programme is a strategic complement to the EUR 123 million joint humanitarian-development programme “EU Support to Response, Recovery and Resilience in Borno State” approved on 24/03/2017 under the 11th EDF National Indicative Programme for Nigeria. The action helps support and strengthen the resilience of populations affected by security and food crises. Activities include cash transfers, small grants, sound agricultural and natural resources management market gardening, development of small developments and/or bastions, support for production, strengthening of farmer’s capacities and of farmer’s organisation, support for small livestock, and building more sustainable shelters for the most vulnerable.
