New Study identifies most viable Livelihood Opportunities for Returnee Communities in Borno state

18th June 2019-As security situation continues to improve in Borno State and other parts of North East Nigeria, there is increased attention towards reintegration of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) to communities. Considering the loss of assets, land and capital caused by the insurgency, means of livelihood for returnees is a major source of concern to all stakeholders.

It is against this background that Centre for Community Development and Research Network (CCDRN) embarked upon an assessment of livelihood opportunities and security implications for returnee communities in Borno State.

The study is aimed at examining livelihood opportunities and associated security implications in communities currently being resettled by displaced persons. It is expected that the study would contribute to effective and sustainable resettlement. This policy brief outlines the main findings and policy implications of the study.
