iMMAP Nigeria Presents its Work and Accomplishments During the Past Year

iMMAP Nigeria held the 2019 Technical Review Workshop from the 24th to the 26th of July 2019. Since November 2016, iMMAP has been providing Information Management (IM) support to eleven humanitarian sectors responding to the crisis in northeast Nigeria. The sectors supported by iMMAP during this period have included CCCM/Shelter & NFI, Education, Child Protection, GBV Sub-sector & GBVIMS Coordination, Protection, Health, Nutrition, Food Security, WASH, Early Recovery, and Logistics.

Among the attendees were Humanitarian Sector Coordinators and Partner Organization/Agency Representatives who made significant contributions to the event with questions, comments, and suggestions.

Days 1 and 2 of this three-day interactive workshop involved presentations of reports of the support provided to the sectors by each seconded iMMAP Information Management Officer (IMO) and iMMAP’s Gender-Based Violence Information Management System (GBVIMS) Coordinator. Other reports came from the Capacity Building Team and the Communications Team.

Day 3 of the Workshop saw presentations of iMMAP’s activities and accomplishments globally and in Nigeria by Mr. Christophe Bois (CEO, iMMAP France), Mr. Abdon Trowonou (Regional Director for Africa, iMMAP), Mr. Amr Osman (Country Representative, iMMAP Nigeria), and Mr. Richard Sennoga (Capacity Building Lead, iMMAP Nigeria). A presentation on ReportHub was also delivered on the final day of the event by Mr. Patrick Fitzgerald, the creator of ReportHub, and Mr. Caleb Ikyernum, WASH sector IMO who is piloting ReportHub in the WASH Sector in Nigeria.

With the support from USAID OFDA, iMMAP Nigeria will continue supporting all humanitarian sectors operating in the northeast through information management and coordination services, in order to provide the actors involved with a more accurate picture of the situation on the ground that will facilitate a more cost-effective humanitarian response.
