Abstract
UNHCR-WFP joint assessment mission (JAM) of Nigerian refugees in the Far North of Cameroon carried out between October 7 and 19, 2021. The objective of the assessment was to collect updated information on basic needs, shelter, food security, nutrition, water and sanitation, education, protection, security, common services, and livelihoods of Nigerian refugees to inform improved humanitarian assistance. This dataset contains data collected from samples of 607 out of approximately 10,000 households hosting 60,000 refugees in the Minawao settlement and 435 from close to 11,000 households hosting 57,000 refugees in host villages in surrounding border areas. The majority of the Nigerian Refugees in this Region fled violence and attacks perpetrated by Non-State Armed Groups (NSAGs) such as Boko-Haram in the Neighboring Nigeria since 2014. The report published in September 2022 reveals interesting findings such as the difference in dependency ratios between the refugees in camps and those living in the host population. Additionally, comparative analysis on indicators such as the Food Consumption Score (FCS) and the reduced Coping Strategy Index (rCSI) between the two (02) groups are conducted and yield some interesting findings.
