In 2025, GISCOR continued to deliver integrated humanitarian and developmental interventions across crisis-affected communities in Nigeria. Operating in Borno, Adamawa, Yobe, Katsina, Zamfara, and Sokoto States, the organization responded to the urgent needs of internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees, and vulnerable host communities affected by conflict, displacement, food insecurity, and limited access to essential services. Through strong partnerships with UN agencies, government institutions, humanitarian actors, networks of civil society and local community structures, GISCOR implemented multi-sectoral programs focused on Protection, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Health and Nutrition, Livelihoods support, CCCM/shelter, digital literacy, mine action, MHPSS and FLS . Over 1 million individuals were reached through life-saving assistance and community resilience interventions. Key achievements included strengthening protection monitoring systems, expanding access to safe water and sanitation, supporting healthcare & nutrition services, education, promoting community engagement, and reinforcing accountability mechanisms. GISCOR also expanded its operational presence into underserved and hard-to-reach areas while strengthening localization approaches through community participation, capacity-building initiatives, and the engagement of community-based structures. 02 KEY FIGURES 2025 Total People Reached 1,056,270 Individuals Males 451,521 Females 604,749 Despite operational challenges such as insecurity, access limitations, and resource constraints, the organization continued to adapt through innovative approaches including remote monitoring, integrated programming, and community-led response mechanisms.
