The document summarizes research on the 2012 floods in Nigeria. It provides an overview of the floods' impacts, including over 7 million affected people and 2 million internally displaced. The research aims to analyze the floods' causes, internal displacement, medium-term needs, and humanitarian response challenges. Key findings include damages of over $2 billion to sectors like housing and agriculture from the floods. The humanitarian response was underfunded, allocating approximately $25 per affected person. Recommendations include improving early warning systems, emergency agency coordination, data collection, and training local agencies and populations.
