Abstract:
At present, more than 2 million persons are displaced in North East Nigeria. The majority of these reside in informal camps and host communities where the provision of basic amenities were not initially planned. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), one in five displaced persons are affected by mental health disorders. Their right to their mental health and needs are challenged because they live under difficult circumstances. This in turn causes social isolation, stigmatization and economic losses among those affected.
