Additional Context: According to Inclusive Development Partners, or IDP, children in Northeast Nigeria have been deprived of a normal childhood due to conflict, high poverty rates, inflation, and the breakdown of the social protection safety net. For many years, Northeast Nigeria has depended mostly on international development partners like USAID for support in education, nutrition, health, early recovery, and livelihood. The Opportunities to Learn activity used the National Accelerated Basic Education Curriculum, and provided children with disabilities and other vulnerable groups in the region who have missed many years of school due to conflict access to quality and inclusive education.

Devex Researcher Note: As of March 2026, Opportunities to Learn has remained closed and no other funder has stepped in, according to a conversation with IDP.
