Between November 2020 and January 2025, 3iS served as the host agency of NIF – an alliance of 58 international NGOs providing humanitarian and development assistance in Nigeria – supported by multiple donors, including but not limited to DG ECHO, NRC, SDC, FCDO, BHA, and ShareTrust.
As the host agency, 3iS supported the Forum by ensuring strong compliance, efficient administration, and coordinated logistics. During this time, 3iS also worked on strengthening the capacity of local and national organizations working in Northeast Nigeria through the Promoting Local Response Capacities and Partnerships (PLRCAP) project, an initiative of NIF.
Between 2022-2023, 3iS supported the rapid response mechanism (RRM) led by UNICEF and WFP in responding to the needs of the displaced, returnee populations, and host families in Northeast Nigeria, especially in the BAY states (Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe).
3iS strengthened the RRM by closing critical IM gaps in emergency response efforts. We developed a geospatial mapping system, improving spatial decision-making and intervention tracking for UNICEF and other RRM partners in-country. 3iS also provided RRM partners with other IM support, including assessments and trainings, enhancing their ability to respond effectively to humanitarian crises in the region.
In 2022, in support of the establishment of the National Mine Action Centre in Nigeria, 3iS conducted trainings and capacity building activities for the national authorities of Borno state on the Information Management System for Mine Action (IMSMA) and data management.
These activities helped to support national authorities in meeting their obligations under Article 5 (Mine Clearence) of the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention (APMBC), which entered into force for Nigeria on 1 March 2002.
In 2022, 3iS funded by the Nigerian Humanitarian Fund conducted tailored and targeted training sessions to 39 national NGOs working in the protection sector in Borno state on best practices for data collection, GIS, analysis, and dissemination.
