Background

Global Rights with support from the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCD0) UK is implementing a project titled Deploying Strategies for Increasing Access to Justice and Promoting Credible Peaceful Democratic Processes in NorthWest Nigeria. The project which is in fulfilment of the UK National Action Plan on Women Peace & Security (WPS) aims to achieve better inclusion for women in peacebuilding efforts and the civic space and to build community resilience against insecurity and violent extremism in the NorthWest with Kaduna and Sokoto as its focal states.

The project which has taken a multisectoral approach was carefully designed with local contextual considerations taken into account. Through dialogue and advocacy platforms the project has aimed to create an opportunity for critical community stakeholders to aggregate sectional needs and interests and discuss security issues with sector stakeholders in a safe and structured environment. Leveraging existing state structures and strategic relationships with influential stakeholders the project has set up Community Dialogue Committees and facilitated womenled town halls to create platforms for local leaders traditional religious and community leaders to lead important conversations on peacebuilding and civic participation. Working with statebased peace mechanisms the project has worked to build trust and strengthen the relationship between communities and law enforcement/security agencies. The project also engaged community leaders women and youth to institute Early Warning and Response Coordination mechanisms for preempting and preventing conflict and has adopted the Gender Action Learning System (GALS) as a mechanism to create a communitywide understanding and acceptance of the importance of women s involvement in decisionmaking and ultimately peacebuilding.
