The project is a joint collaboration between the IOM and the Adamawa State Government.
Speaking at the event, Hon. Diram praised the partnership and emphasized the Fintiri administration’s steadfast support for development partners, noting that the Centre would significantly boost the state’s capacity to respond to displacement challenges.
The new Displacement Data Tracking Centre is equipped with:
