The project has received coverage from major Newspapers including The Tribune

An alarming rise in the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Nigeria over recent years has led to a need to strengthen the capacity of public sector workers in zones often badly affected by violent extremism and terrorism.

IDPs in Nigeria live in very poor and insecure conditions and their access to basic food supplies is very limited. Access to public services, such as shelter, health, education, safe water and sanitation, is a very pressing and urgent concern.

This project seeks to strengthen trade unions’ capacity using, among other key tools, a written guide that provides trade union members with basic knowledge of the human rights of IDPs and how to defend non-discriminatory access to quality public services. Activities under the project include training sessions designed to increase the capacity of trade union members to engage and participate actively as major stakeholders in advocacy, campaigns, policy development and social dialogue on issues pertaining to internal displacement and access to quality public services at all levels.
