Nigeria has been going through an acute political and military crisis for years, which has affected millions of lives.

Since 2019, SI has been the WaSH Sector lead in part of Maiduguri and in Monguno LGAs, as well as the lead of the Cholera Task Force. This lead role in the coordination mechanism enables SI to work hand in hand with medical actors who operate in CTC and CTU to ensure quick response to cholera outbreaks.
