To compound the situation, herders and farmers lack access to credit and are unable to manage emergencies such as disease outbreaks that destroy their coping mechanisms and asset-base.

By this invitation to tender, CRS invites qualified Applicants with relevant past experience in conducting livelihoods and labour market assessments targeting youth in Northeast Nigeria to submit applications.
