Mapping IDP and refugee locations in Nigeria

Internally displaced persons (IDPs) are a growing concern for Nigeria. This populous back nation is bedevilled with various security challenges such as terrorism, militancy and banditry which has led to a growing number of internally displaced persons scattered majorly along the north of the country.

Mapping of areas housing IDPs is a sure way of showing areas of great need thus making the needed local and international aid accessible to the IDPs through direct visual observation on the map. Data generated can aid pre-planning for the need of group before aids are advanced to the locations.

I therefore wish as a matter of concern to map these areas and join anyone with ideas or useful information of how to tackle this job to feel free to comment.
