North East Peace and Security Network
is a network of organisations working on conflict mitigation, peacebuilding, security, and governance related interventions in the North East, under the umbrella of the Nigeria Peace and Security Network (PSN).
The NE-PSN collects and shares information among member organizations to enhance conflict mitigation, peacebuilding, security, and governance interventions. Networking activities include early response, sharing programming lessons, committee of practice, and reducing duplication of actions.
Joint conflict analysis is critical to inform effective programming and research, conflict data, early warning, and early response. NE-PSN promotes the use of conflict analysis tools and methodologies to address the root causes of conflicts and promote sustainable peace.
Collaborative policy influencing is a key strategy for NE-PSN. By working with policymakers, civil society organizations, and other stakeholders, the network develops and implements advocacy strategies to promote peace, security, and good governance
NE-PSN offers training, cross-organizational learning, and mentorship programs to enhance the capacity of member organizations in conflict mitigation, peacebuilding, security, and governance interventions. Capacity building strengthens the network’s ability to promote sustainable peace and security.
We aim to contribute to peace and development in the Northeast through sustained civic engagement.
The membership consists of Northeast-based civil society, international NGOs, UN agencies, donors, and embassies. The network also engages government ministries, departments, and agencies on specific thematic areas. The Northeast PSN currently has membership of over 40 organisations implementing projects on peace and security, recovery, and other developmental initiatives across the Northeast Region.
Joining the NE-PSN comes with a lot of individual and institutional benefits. You will have the opportunity to connect, advocate, share resources, partake in decision making and improve the capacity of your staff, among others.
