Our Mandate
What we do
BOACSDHR's mandate spans the full coordination lifecycle — from partner registration and project review, to information sharing, monitoring, and reporting. Our work ensures that every humanitarian and development actor operating in Borno State is aligned with the Borno State Development Plan (BoSDP) 2020–2045, and that resources are deployed efficiently, transparently, and for maximum impact.
