Over 500 tailored-made IM products were developed, supporting the humanitarian response with evidence-based information across the northeast of Nigeria, with a focus on Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe (BAY) states. \n\nFurthermore, IMOs working across seven humanitarian sectors actively engaged in improving the IM capacity of 635 humanitarian operators. Complementing the humanitarian IM capacity strengthening sessions which iMMAP provided throughout the year, it has also implemented its internship program – made possible by the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) iMMAP signed with the University of Maiduguri, Borno state in January 2021. \n\nThe presentations by iMMAP IMOs also provided insight into the various challenges recorded at the sectoral level, including the lack of data coverage for some crisis-affected communities across BAY states, delayed data submission, and inadequate partner presence. \n\nThe sectoral presentations were followed by insights provided by the Borno State Agency representatives for the Coordination of Sustainable Development and Humanitarian Response (BACSDAHR) and University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID). These presentations highlighted the results and achievements of the strong partnership with iMMAP, with the hope to better serve the vulnerable communities across the BAY states in the coming years. \n\nThe BACSDAHR presentation, delivered by the Manager of the Borno State Data Center, Dr. Alhaji Maaji Umar Mustapha, outlined the various aspects of the support iMMAP provided to the agency, including iMMAP participation in the agency’s strategic development planning retreat in 2020, the training of staff and interns in data management and visualization and the support provided in the design of the state’s 25 years development plan. Alhaji Maaji further described the importance of the capacity strengthening support he received from iMMAP as a steppingstone to his current position at the Borno State Data Center. Concluding his presentation, Dr. Mustapha stated the following:\n”},{“component”:”hc_space”,”id”:”fChxw”,”css_classes”:””,”custom_css_classes”:””,”custom_css_styles”:””,”size”:”m”,”height”:””},{“component”:”hc_quote”,”id”:”l7Vbr”,”css_classes”:””,”custom_css_classes”:””,”custom_css_styles”:””,”text”:”iMMAP has been with us since the formation of the state’s data center.

The project recorded nine training rounds, over 100 partner organizations across NGOs, UN agencies, government institutions, and academia. In addition, 210 participants benefitted from iMMAP capacity building activities, with the average knowledge gained standing at 80% across all training sessions.\n\nThroughout the year in review, iMMAP selected 16 interns to acquire practical IM experience for a period of three months. Six out of the 16 graduated interns are currently working with iMMAP. Among the other 10 graduated interns, three are working with the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID), two self-employed, while each of the remaining five work with the following organizations: The Borno Women Development Initiative (BOWDI), International Rescue Committee (IRC), Young Africa Initiative of Nigeria (YAIN), Action Against Hunger (AAH), and Rehabilitation Empowerment And Better Health Initiative (REBHI) in Borno state.\n\nThe internal review activities later peaked with an interactive session among iMMAP IMOs on data opportunities available to the team, with ideas shared to enhance the IM services provided to humanitarian partners in the upcoming year.\n\nTo close the Technical Review Workshop, iMMAP Country Representative, Dr. Andrea Porro, expressed appreciation to the team for their work throughout the year and for their participation in the review session through the statement:\n”},{“component”:”hc_space”,”id”:”T6EjI”,”css_classes”:””,”custom_css_classes”:””,”custom_css_styles”:””,”size”:”m”,”height”:””},{“component”:”hc_quote”,”id”:”siICl”,”css_classes”:””,”custom_css_classes”:””,”custom_css_styles”:””,”text”:”I want to thank you all for stepping away from your busy agenda.

Methodologies proposed were all-inclusive, based on knowledge exchange and a participatory approach in collaboration with private partners, traditional practitioners, and DPS and BCZ, the health provincial and district central offices, respectively.\n\nIn the field, NGOs, the United Nations, and the ministry staff relied upon the OSM base map, or the OSMAND navigation tool, to identify buildings. 3,134 points, schools, villages, markets, and churches have been integrated into the OSM platform during the OSM training. Furthermore, 3,586 health structures have been cleaned and added to the OSM base. The geographical coverage goes from Bukavu to Bunia via Beni (South Kivu, North Kivu, Ituri).\n\nBuilding upon this success, iMMAP and OSM plan to involve local actors and capture their knowledge to improve the understanding of the area.

This support will continue through the revision of the Humanitarian Response Plan 2020 to incorporate the COVID-19 response.\n\nSupport to the Health Cluster in the COVID-19 response\n\niMMAP supports the Ethiopia Health Cluster’s COVID-19 response by developing a 3W tool (who is doing what, and where) that captures the response activities of 30 partners operating in different locations of the country, allowing to identify gaps and optimize the distribution of protective materials. Moreover, we help enhance coordination through developing an online response monitoring tool that regularly captures the activities carried by health cluster partners, which are analyzed and presented through a weekly COVID-19 bulletin. Additionally, iMMAP produces a weekly COVID-19 dashboard that reports on 18 monitoring indicators developed in collaboration with the Ethiopian Public Health Institute (EPHI), helping to monitor and understand the COVID-19 situation in Ethiopia to tailor the response by aiding the people who need it most.\n\nPRODUCTS
