Abstract

The Adamawa State Multisectoral Crisis Recovery Project (AS-MCRP) is an initiative aimed at addressing the complex challenges caused by Boko Haram insurgency in Adamawa State. A study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of the project’s grievance redress mechanisms, focusing on three research objectives. A sample of 100 respondents from Mubi, Michika, and Madagali local governments was selected using cluster sampling. Data were collected through key informant interviews and analyzed using frequency counts, percentages, and content analysis. The study found that while the grievance redress mechanisms of AS-MCRP are accessible, awareness among the public is low. However, these mechanisms are highly effective in resolving grievances, contributing significantly to rebuilding trust, fostering social cohesion, and promoting community resilience. The study recommends that AS-MCRP should launch a comprehensive awareness campaign, including community meetings, pamphlets, posters, and digital channels, to inform all beneficiaries about the grievance mechanisms. It also suggests ongoing training and capacity building for grievance officers and maintaining continuous dialogue with affected communities to address evolving grievances and needs.
