- With funding from the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau for Conflict and Stabilization Operations (CSO), Search implemented a 12 months project from September 2019 to August 2020 to strengthen community resilience to violence during the pre- and post-electoral period in high-risk areas of Bayelsa State. This project is implemented in five communities from 5 LGAs of the State (Brass, Nembe, Ekeremor, Oporoma and Sagbama).
- The project had two specific objectives:Objective 1: To foster youth- and women-led platforms for violence prevention during the pre- and post-election period.Objective 2: To build community resilience to violence, including cult violence, for the pre- and post-electoral periods and beyond.
- The “WAY Forward” is a project that capitalized on Search’s existing conflict prevention programming in Bayelsa State, to elevate women and youths as leaders of peace and security in their communities. The capacity of the women and youth was strengthened and they were supported with platforms and key relationships in the bid that they could lead early warning and early response processes. They were also expected to facilitate peace and dialogue activities to build community resilience to violence; and raise awareness and sensitize communities for violence-free elections.
