The sector in the reporting month of September continued to emphasize and advocate for the progress of thedecongestion process at LGA level through the decongestion strategy (at 90% completion) which is on theverge of deploying operational partners for implementation. Top priority locations such as Dikwa, Ngala andBama (Banki) are to be prioritized for decongestion, especially now that government has given its approval to use identiﬁed land in Dikwa and Bama (Banki) for the decongestion related purpose. As steps to improve the delivery of CCCM activities in sites, sector partners throughout the reporting month September ensured thorough sensitization and campaign awareness in camps and camp-like setting relating from COVID 19 awareness, personal and environmental hygiene campaign, general sanitations on site, creation of water pathways and weekly routine infrastructural assessment of site facilities to dictate gaps and basic need of the camp population at large. A total of 4,658 arrivals and 1,602 departures were recorded across Borno, Adamawa and Yobe (BAY) state.
