OUR MULTISECTORAL APPROACH

Our multisectoral approach

A protection programme may also need counselling, skills training and referrals. We bring these services together and work with community groups and local institutions to improve access.

Protection

Case management, safeguarding and access to support.

Wellbeing

Psychosocial support, community connections and referral pathways.

Opportunity

Skills, savings and greater economic participation.

In practice: our Dikwa programme report documents case management, mental health and psychosocial support, livelihood services and referrals.

PROGRAMME 01

Disability inclusion

We work with persons with disabilities, OPDs, community structures and institutions to strengthen disability-law awareness and implementation. Our work includes capacity building, accessible information, community participation and support for greater mobility and independence.

PROGRAMME 02

Protection & gender equality

Our protection work focuses on gender-based violence prevention and response, access to information, community awareness and survivor-centred support. We strengthen local capacity and referral pathways so women, girls and other at-risk groups can access services.

Our current child-rights programme combines advocacy, awareness raising and livelihood support to address child marriage in Bauchi and Borno states.

PROGRAMME 03

Livelihoods & skills

We support practical learning, community savings approaches and enterprise skills. Our programme history includes Village Economic and Social Association training and livelihood support for persons with disabilities and other community members.

PROGRAMME 04

Mental health & wellbeing

We support psychosocial wellbeing through counselling-related activities, trauma-healing approaches and community connections. This work is part of a broader response to the effects of violence, displacement and exclusion.

PROGRAMME 05

Peacebuilding & rights

We strengthen awareness of rights and support dialogue, community cohesion and meaningful participation. Our programme history includes women’s empowerment, legal-rights training and collaboration with community and institutional stakeholders.

PROGRAMME 06

Health & humanitarian support

We promote health information, hygiene and access to essential support in communities affected by crisis. Inclusion and protection inform how we identify needs, engage communities and work with partners.
