Mercy Corps, in conjunction with Action Against Hunger, Cooperazione Internazionale, Catholic Relief Services, the International Rescue Committee and Oxfam, undertook a livelihoods and market assessment across the three most affected states in Northeast Nigeria: Adamawa, Borno and Yobe. The assessment is intended to better understand post-insurgency livelihood and market recovery strategies, and identify pathways for more effective support of early recovery efforts in a region experiencing a protracted and complex humanitarian crisis.
