Nigeria — Socio-economic Survey and Facility Mapping in Dauchi Settlement, Adamawa State (October 2024)

This report provides an in-depth look at the progress made in supporting the displaced residents of the Dauchi settlement, located in Song local government area, Adamawa State. Dauchi, home to over 200 households, has become a permanent refuge for people who were forced to flee their homes due to the insurgency in north-east Nigeria. Instead of returning to their areas of origin, many displaced persons have chosen to integrate into this local community.
Through a detailed survey, this report explores the living conditions and livelihoods of Dauchi’s residents while also assessing the availability of key infrastructure and services, such as health centres, schools, and water sources. In addition, demographic data from registration exercises offers valuable insights into the population’s age and gender distribution, which helps inform future interventions for the community.
The findings provide a comprehensive view of Dauchi’s socio-economic landscape and the challenges its residents face, making this report a vital resource for those working to improve conditions and provide long-term solutions for the settlement’s residents.
