1.0 FORWARD
The Project on Protection of Persons of Concern through Human Rights Monitoring in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states is a collaborative effort of the National Human Rights Commission and The United Nation High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) which started in 2015 with 10 project states.
In implementing the project, which now revolves around the epic center of insurgency, i.e Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States, Human Rights Monitors are deployed to the fields to monitor and document human rights issues affecting the Population of Concern (PoCs). Reports received from the monitors facilitated responses and prevention of further violations or abuses of the PoCs.
