Job Vacancy: Job title: NCA NIGERIA WASH KAP BASELINE SURVEY IN PULKA
Job description: NCA has been operating in the Northeast of Nigeria since 2017, delivering humanitarian assistance in conflict-affected areas. NCA works closely with its national partner organizations, an approach that fulfils its mandate to strengthen civil society. NCA works in four local government areas in Borno State in Northeast Nigeria: Dikwa, Monguno, Gwoza-Pulka, and Maiduguri to save lives, alleviate suffering and safeguard the dignity of conflicted-affected populations. NCA implements humanitarian programs in:
– Gender-Based Violence (GBV)
– Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health (ASRH)
– Climate Resilient Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (CRWASH).
In Gwoza / Pulka LGA, Borno State, the total population is composed of 53 % of IDPs and 43 % of the host community . and the demographic pressure rate observed is 113 %, there is more IDPs than host community. During the dry season, some boreholes have low yields, reducing safe water access capacity in the locality. This last fact and the population rate pressure has the potential to increase conflict between the host community and IDPs, as well as increase the malnutrition rate among children under five years old.
