ICRC is comparable to NCFRMI as it operates in adjacent protection, shelter, and documentation domains for displaced persons in conflict settings, including Nigeria.

Direct peers

• United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR): The UN agency mandated to lead and coordinate international action for the protection of refugees. UNHCR is NCFRMI's core operational counterpart and the principal partner through which NCFRMI coordinates refugee and IDP protection in Nigeria.

• National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Nigeria: Nigeria's federal agency for disaster management and emergency response, including IDP camp coordination during natural disasters and conflict. Comparable as a sister federal agency operating in adjacent humanitarian and IDP response domains within Nigeria.

Regional players

• Commissionerate for Afghan Refugees (Pakistan): A government body in Pakistan with a comparable mandate to manage refugee affairs, including registration, repatriation, and rehabilitation of Afghan refugees. Structurally similar to NCFRMI as a national-level government entity focused on durable solutions for a major refugee population.

Comparable to NCFRMI as a national refugee-focused commission in a large displacement context, executing similar registration and reintegration mandates.
