The Federal Government, through the Honourable Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Dr. Bernard Doro, has said that the Ministry is working to create a system where humanitarian assistance is streamlined and impactful, with a clear entry and exit point for beneficiaries.
Dr. Doro made this known during a courtesy visit by a delegation from the Institute of Human Virology, Nigeria (IHVN), led by its Director-General, Dr. Patrick Dakum, who came to congratulate him on his appointment and to offer the Institute’s support in addressing healthcare challenges facing vulnerable groups.
The Minister welcomed the partnership and introduced his “One Humanitarian, One Poverty Reduction System” initiative, which is aimed at tracking interventions for informed policy-making. According to him, the initiative will help the Ministry monitor progress, identify gaps, and make data-driven decisions to improve humanitarian outcomes in the country.
“We want to help vulnerable people until they are self-reliant, engaging sub-nationals for synergy in humanitarian efforts,” Dr. Doro stated.
He further explained that the new system would strengthen collaboration between the Federal, State, and Local Governments, ensuring a unified and efficient approach to tackling poverty and humanitarian challenges in Nigeria.
Earlier, Dr. Patrick Dakum emphasized the importance of collaboration in addressing humanitarian issues and said the Institute looks forward to working with the Ministry and other stakeholders to leverage expertise and resources for improving the lives of Nigerians in need.
