UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.
Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.
And we never give up.
Rationale:
After nine years of hostilities between Nigerian security forces and non-state armed groups, the humanitarian crisis in north-east Nigeria continues. Civilians bear the brunt of a conflict that has resulted in widespread displacement, lack of protection, destroyed infrastructure and collapsed basic services. Indeed, an estimated 7.1million people (2.3million girls, 1.9million boys, 1.6million women and 1.3million men) in the three most affected states of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe now depend on humanitarian assistance for their survival. More specifically, the 2019 Humanitarian Needs Overview estimates that the protection and well-being of 2.7million children and adolescents (1.5million girls and 1.2million boys) in the north-east remain at risk – mainly due to the complex and protracted conflict, with higher vulnerabilities anticipated in inaccessible areas. Community resilience to protect children has been weakened, resulting in negative coping mechanisms.
Both Boko Haram and CJTF (hereinafter referred to as non-state armed group) have been listed by the Secretary General under Security Council Resolution 1612as recruiting and using children in combat and support roles. Boko Haram has also been listed for abduction. The Office of the National Security Advisor’s 2015 estimate of 8,000child combatants has not been borne out by the numbers of children rescued or recovered. Still, on 15September 2017, the Country Task Force on Monitoring and Reporting identified six grave violations committed against children (CTFMR) and CJTF signed an Action Plan to end the use and recruitment of children. This CJTF pledge includes not only identifying and releasing all children to UNICEF but also instructing its members to cease all use and recruitment of children.
The data gathering need is huge to support community-based reintegration for children associated with the Civilian Joint Task Force in target communities in North-East Nigeria and strengthen their understanding of the socio-economic reintegration needs of children and their positive role in communities as agents of peace. Data collection through the number of questions to be filled out for every single child along with the need to perform different analyses will make it practically too cumbersome and exhausting if done without a proper data management system. A proper data management software system is therefore needed to handle aspects related to data entry, representation, and analyses so that useful conclusions could be drawn for proper. At the same time, the choice of system needs to ensure data integrity, validation and allow efficient working in a team-based environment with proper user privileges.
