Year

2025

WREP Nigeria served as the Independent Monitoring Agent for the Multi-Sectoral Crisis Recovery Project (MCRP) in Adamawa State. In 2025, the MCRP transitioned from emergency response to long-term sustainable development: strengthening resilience, restoring livelihoods, and laying the foundation for durable recovery across all 20 LGAs of Adamawa State.

WREP's third-party monitoring role ensured transparency, compliance, and genuine community engagement throughout project implementation, utilising Geo-Enabling Monitoring and Supervision (GEMS) tools for rigorous field verification.

Project Objectives

Rebuild Critical Infrastructure: Restore essential services to "build back better" across health, education, water, and transport sectors
Revitalise Livelihoods: Transition vulnerable families from subsistence aid to sustainable economic activities
Strengthen Social Cohesion: Foster peace and stability within displacement-affected communities
Ensure Accountability: Through independent third-party monitoring, guarantee transparency, compliance, and genuine community engagement

Key Monitoring Activities

Restoring Infrastructure & Basic Services: Monitoring reconstruction of roads and bridges to reconnect rural farms to markets; rehabilitation of schools, health centres, public buildings, and solar-powered WASH facilities
Livelihoods & Social Resilience: Monitoring provision of farming input kits and climate-smart agricultural training; labour-intensive public works (cash-for-work); grants for small businesses; peace group establishment
Independent Monitoring & Quality Assurance: Field verification using GEMS tools to verify construction quality across all LGAs; rigorous checks for environmental standards and social safeguards; mixed-method surveys and town halls to capture the "voice of the people"
