Abstract

Globally, conflict-driven crises have produced humanitarian needs on an epic scale, and responses to these needs have not been sufficient. North-East Nigeria’s crisis is one of today’s most serious in the world. In 2018, it was estimated that 10.2 million people needed humanitarian assistance across six affected states in Nigeria. The role of the state as the principal actor in crisis response is globally recognized. However, recent years have brought about increased recognition of the vital role of both international non-governmental organizations (INGOs)/and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in responding to a humanitarian crisis. Most crises are now more complex and much larger than they were before. There has also been an increase in the number and variety of humanitarian actors, which has made coordination and collaboration more difficult. This paper seeks to investigate the challenges beyond collaboration and coordination between humanitarian actors in the INGOs’/CSOs’ quest in managing the humanitarian crisis in North-East Nigeria.
