Why join us?
Despite the remarkable achievements in the humanitarian sector, ACF Nigeria, like other humanitarian actors, has been continuously affected by the shrinking humanitarian space due to the security context caused by the operation of non-state armed groups.
The Field Office is located in Maiduguri. A Sub Base with limited number of staff is located in Damasak, relatively insecure location. A small ACF contingent is co-located with partner agency in Yola, Adamawa State.
Currently the mission has a significant portfolio in Maiduguri. ACF is a key player in the push to increase programming for vulnerable populations in Northeast Nigeria through increased advocacy to several donors who have signalled an interest.
