Title: Expression of Interest (EOI) for the Development of Report on Emerging Security Challenges in Nigeria
Project Background
Almost overwhelmingly, the Nigerian state has been struggling with series of insecurity challenges over the past decade. From the rise of Boko Haram insurgency in 2009 and now to a seemingly unhindered attacks by bandits raging in some northern states of the country it seems like the list does not have an end. Dauntingly mounting in the country is an increase in kidnap cases, armed conflict between groups, the proliferation of small arms and light weapons, increase in drug abuse, and many other security threats.
The North-Central has been battling with incidences of kidnapping of both adults and young pupils, banditry, and gang related activities and violence. The North-East for over a decade has been besieged by terrorism which has claimed several innocent lives, and this is coupled with other security incidences like kidnapping and even armed banditry. Recently, the North-West region of the country has become the epicenter of security challenges in the country with worrying cases of kidnapping, armed banditry, herders-farmers clashes, ethno-religious clashes, terrorism, gang violence, and others, while South-East, South-South, and South-West have been covered with cases of trafficking, kidnapping, armed banditry, armed robbery, secession agitations, extra-judicial killings by law enforcement agencies and many others.
At the heart of this project is the realization that there are other contemporary or emerging security concerns/challenges in the country which has the propensity of defining discussions around public safety in the nearest future if not nip to the board. This projection is in consonance to the rate of poverty and unemployment in the country presently and ultimately the relationship between poverty and crime in a society.
To this end, CLEEN Foundation is currently carrying out a nationwide survey on emerging/contemporary security challenges in Nigeria aimed at boosting evidence-based advocacy on curbing the trend of insecurity in the country. Hence, the Foundation is seeking the services of consultants to develop the report of this exercise after the fieldwork and analysis is completed.
