While most humanitarian efforts are concentrated in Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe States due to the severity of the crisis, United Front Africa has strategically chosen to focus its activities on Bauchi, Gombe, and Taraba States. This decision is driven by the recognition of significant gaps in humanitarian and development interventions in these states, where local needs remain largely under-addressed despite the presence of over 80 humanitarian organizations in the region.

Bauchi, Gombe, and Taraba States face unique challenges that contribute to the region's overall vulnerability. Although these states are not at the epicenter of the conflict like Borno, our assessments reveal that they are deeply affected by the spillover effects, including an influx of internally displaced persons (IDPs), strained resources, and heightened poverty levels. These states also experience less attention from international donors and humanitarian actors, creating a critical need for localized, sustainable interventions that can build resilience and promote long-term development.

United Front Africa's approach in these states focuses on engaging stakeholders and catalyzing local actions to address the root causes of vulnerability. This involves working closely with community leaders, local governments, and other key actors to design and implement programs that are tailored to the specific needs of these communities. By concentrating efforts in Bauchi, Gombe, and Taraba, United Front Africa aims to bridge the significant gaps in service delivery and empower local populations to take charge of their development.

Our activities are aligned with broader regional goals but with a distinct focus on fostering resilience in areas that have been overlooked. This strategy not only addresses immediate humanitarian needs but also lays the foundation for sustainable peace and development in Northeast Nigeria. By leveraging local knowledge and fostering partnerships, United Front Africa is committed to creating a positive impact in Bauchi, Gombe, and Taraba States, ultimately contributing to a more stable and prosperous Northeast Nigeria.
