ByMuhuddin Samaila

Première Urgence Internationale (PUI) is a non-governmental, non-profit, non-political and non-religious international aid organization. Our teams are committed to supporting civilians’ victims of marginalization and exclusion, or hit by natural disasters, wars and economic collapses, by answering their fundamental needs. Our aim is to provide emergency relief to uprooted people to help them recover their dignity and regain self-sufficiency. PUI has been operating in Nigeria since 2016, initially establishing its presence in Borno State with a field office in Maiduguri. Over the years, PUI has expanded its humanitarian response to deep-field locations, including Monguno and Pulka, and more recently to Katsina State in Northwest Nigeria.

In Borno State, PUI has been a key actor in health, nutrition, protection, and psychosocial support. It supports health facilities in Maiduguri, Monguno, and Pulka, providing primary healthcare services, sexual and reproductive health (SRH), and the management of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM), both with and without complications, through Stabilization Centers. These interventions are integrated with specialized Gender-Based Violence (GBV) services and psychosocial support. PUI has a strong track record of implementing projects funded by key humanitarian donors, including USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA), the European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO), and the UN’s Nigeria Humanitarian Fund (NHF). Thanks to its long-standing presence, PUI has gained a deep understanding of the local context, allowing for an agile response to emergencies while also supporting long-term resilience-building efforts.

Since 2023, PUI has extended its response to Katsina State, with funding from the Crisis and Support Centre (CDCS) of the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs. PUI provides a comprehensive package of health, nutrition, protection, and psychosocial support services. This includes primary healthcare for all age groups, reproductive health services, community-based health and nutrition activities, and referrals for obstetric emergencies. In early 2024, PUI expanded to Kurfi LGA, a hard-to-reach area, delivering primary healthcare, facility- and community-based nutrition interventions, protection services, and psychosocial support. These efforts are carried out in close collaboration with the Katsina State Ministry of Health, the State Primary Healthcare Agency, and other relevant authorities.
