Among the participants expected at the event are PCNI, NEMA, Ministry of Budget and National Planning, Government and UN sector co-leads, World Bank and Humanitarian and Development Donors among others. The workshop will review available and current plans and frameworks for humanitarian operations in the six North-Eastern states, review the government’s and international humanitarian response to the humanitarian crisis in 2017 including gaps and obstacles to the delivery of assistance, set parameters, strategic priorities and monitoring and evaluation frameworks for the 2018 Humanitarian Response Plan. The workshop is expected to adopt an approach that synthesizes humanitarian assistance with developmental programmes for sustainable recovery.
