“The concerns and recommendations of the Board of Inquiry will continue to receive attention and scrutiny to address the issues.

“Based on the seven-point agenda proposed by the UN resident and humanitarian coordinator to strengthen coordination and partnership between the humanitarian community and the government of Nigeria in the northeast, and taking into consideration the planned civil-military coordination workshop in Maiduguri by the federal ministry of humanitarian affairs, disaster management and social development and other stakeholders, these issues will be addressed through the following mechanisms.

“Establishment of a high-level policy forum on humanitarian assistance in northeast Nigeria by the ministry of humanitarian affairs, disaster management, and social development at the federal level to discuss/resolve all emerging issues with the humanitarian response in the north-east.

“Vetting/due diligence of all humanitarian vendors in northeast Nigeria to be conducted by the government of Nigeria before engagement by humanitarian actors.
