WANEP-Nigeria: Who We Are and What We Do
West Africa Network for Peacebuilding Nigeria (WANEP-Nigeria) was established out of necessity to provide an organized
platform for collaborative peacebuilding for conflict transformation and development in Nigeria by indigenous Non
Governmental Organizations with diverse capacities and interest in human rights, conf lict transformation and good governance.
Its operational framework was designed along the visions of the regional network operating in West Africa, Chad and Cameroun
with the ultimate goal of building sustainable peace for growth and development in the region.
WANEP Nigeria operations are structured along the geo political constellation of Nigeria and targets grassroots ownership ofpeacebuilding initiatives through its member organizations in allthe thidy six (36) States of Nigeria including the Federal Capital
Territory (FCT) Membership of WANEP-Nigeria, pursuant to constitutional provision is for organizations with 40% conflicttransformation and peacebuilding initiatives. Some of these organizations however have other areas of competence other thanpeacebuilding. WANEP-Nigeria has over 200 member organizations spread across the six geopolitical zones of the country.
lntervention programs of the Network are divided into five basic thematic areas: Conflict Prevention; Women in Peacebuilding;
Active Non Violence and Peace Education; Democracy and Good Governance; Research and Documentation

Active Non-Violence and Peace Education: strives to institutionalize non violence and peace education in primary,secondaryand tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

Conflict Prevention: works towards the establishment of civil society early warning and response system in Nigeria,
which is linked to ECOWAS Early Warning system at the regional level. lt also works with relevant government andinter governmental agencies towards Disaster Risk Reduction in the country
Democracy and Good Governance programs strengthen governance capacities through developing and integrating
conflict management systems at different levels of governance and also ensure transparency in decision making.

Women in Peacebuilding program (WIPNET) offer opportunity for the participation of women in peacebuilding
mechanisms through a coordinated networkthatfacilitates advocacy, reconciliation and transformation.
Research, Publication and Network Coordination promotes cross-fertilization of resources and expertise among zones.

istinguished Board members, Colleagues and beloved friends, Ladies and Gentlemen, I wish tol\
I I very sincerely warmly on behalf of the WANEP Board welcome you to this General Assembly
V holding in the city of Port Harcourt, Rivers State. I want to salute the courage of the National
Network Coordinator, and indeed the staff at the Nationa.l Secretariat for choosing to host the General
Assembly in Port Harcourt despite the elevated rumours of 'war' in the state. I am indeed grateful to eachand every one of you for making it here and indeed choosing to be in Rivers State, to see and learn theconflict challenges being faced bythe people.

Every GeneralAssembly, (l am convinced that we are gradually getting used to no longer calling it theAnnual General Meeting, AGM) affutunity for reflection on how far we have travelled as a network during

the past year. lt has been a very difhcult year for us as a network. The impact of the economic melt down,Itwhich triggered a worldwide recessiJn in the early years of this decade impacted on donor funding{

sources. This has been further compounded by the drastic economic downturn experienced by Nigeria in

I

2016. These events have adversely affected effective programming for the National Secretariat andindeed, for all network members in our various organizations. This coming together of peacebuilding
professionals, affords us the great and unique opportunity to reflect on these challenges confronting us,
and to think of creative and innovative strategies to fundraiseto keep ourworkalive.

I

This meeting as well provides us with another opportunity - that of collaborating our successes. lnspite of

the odds, the secretariat, Ied by the new National Coordinator, Ms Bridget Osakwe and her team havemanaged to implement various programmes, sustained the Secretariat and reached out to some networkt'members. Network members must be commended for keeping hope alive and the flags of your varioustt{organizations flying. My dear friends and colleagues, I encourage you to take pride in what we havetogetherachieved in the pastyears, and through the entire course ofthe t7 oddyears ofourexistence as anational Network.

\f.

As we deliberate on issues of importance to our progress, I also encourage us to reflect on the emerging

security challenges which is threatening the very foundation of our nationhood. ln the South-South, therenewed violent activities of the Avengers and similar groups has tremendous implications for the
economyand increased violence in the region. Additionally, politicalviolence and associated criminality -st Af rican F,letwork for Peacebuilcilng - Nigeria lllll

In the South East, we are confronted with the crisis of the lndependent People of Biafra, IPOB, agitations

for an lndependent Biafra. This is accentuated by attacks by the Fulani Herdsmen on communities in theregion. ThisisreplicatedintheotherregionsoftheFederation.

TheBokoharammenaceisfarfrombeing

resolved. I have merely highlighted these examples to draw our attention and focus our deliberations on
the challenges facing our Nation, Nigeria.
I will like to conclude my message by reminding

us that during the 2074 AGM held at Enugu, there was aconvergence of opinion around three key issues amongst others. We discussed (1) the need to strengthen

the capacities of Network members/organizations (2) Recreating the initial dynamism of WANEP toenhance its visibility and relevance (3) to address the declining participation of network members at

AGM'sandWANEPprogrammes. Howfarhaveweprogressedinaddressingtheforegoingissues?
Finally, let me welcome you once more to this enduring city, the garden city, Port Harcourt. Do have awonderfu I Genera I Assembly, Enjoyyour stay in Port Ha rcou rt.

Dear colleagues and friends,

Welcome to 2017.As we know. Nigeria is today faced with numeroussecurity chal enges. Herdsmen/farmers killings,
cattle rustling and rural banditry, kidnapping, the return of militancy in the Niger Delta amongst others.A continuedtslrife over control of fertile lands in Nigeria has resulted to the deaths of many farmers and their livestock. Although it
appears security agencies are stretched, the year 2016 ended on a positive note with the conquest of Sambisa forest

and the arrest of 1,24a Boko Haram fighters by the Military. Recent events in the past points to the fact that Nigeria is

winningthewaragainstBokoHarambutsomeoftheChibokGirlshavestjl notbeenfoundedandliberated.
WANEP Nigeria within the period rn review excelled in a period of signifrcant transition. We have changed anddiversified the Board to consist of professionals. A new National Network Coordinator came on board with othersignificant change in staffing, a five year Strategic Action Plan was developed.
)n 20L5,WAN EP-Nigeria commissioned a national survey to assess the impact of WAN EPon peace and security issues{.lin Nigeria. The survey covered the period between L999 and 2014, identifying gaps in dellvery/implementalion,
lessons learnt and emergent issues in peace and security. The assessment, frrst of it s kind in the history of Nigeria went
was thorough design processes and consultahon with experts both at national and zonal levels.

Within the period in review, WANEP Nigeria with its over 120 member organizations across Nlgeria worked closelywith both local andinternationai partners on a numberof lssues.These issues include Communityearlywarning/early
response. Women, peace and security.Community peace and security dialogue. Human security; mitigating agropastoralist conflict; disaster risk reduclion and climate change adaptation. Peace education; among conflicting parlies;

policy advocacy; mainstreaming gender issues in security sector. Community based peacebuilding and facilitaling

Isensitivity in programming/Do No Harm etc.
A significant output of the Early Warning Report is a monthly analysis of peace and security challenges f rom WANEP-

Nigeria. Data foranaiysis is derived from the Network's online National EarlyWarning System (NEWS). NEWS as an

online platform allows selected monitors and reporters across the 36 States of the country including the Federal
Capital Territory to feed tn information of interest. Reports generated are validated using media reports and zonal levell!.

structures. The Report reflects data from the Incident Reports complied as a separate product. We also have theMonthly Conflict Census, and the situation tracking reports of the EW system.
WANEP continued as member of the Steering Committee of the Partnership Against Violent Extremism (PAVE) in
Nigeria. PAVE is a platform made up of key government and non-government actors tasked to provide strategic andoperational leadership forCounteringViolent Extremism inrlratives in Nigeria.

Through herWomen ln Peacebuilding Network (WIPNET)WANEP Nigeria conf nued her quest for raising a crilca
mass of women to work alongside men in playing effectr've role in peace and human security. To do this and in responseto the rise in mi itancy at different limes including the current resurgence. WANEP organised a workshop htled"Promohng Inclrsive and Peaceful Society for Suitable Deveopment in the Niger Delta: A Roundtable forWomen

poses a nother opportu n ity to include women in peace and susta ina ble development of the N iger Delta region.

Various Policy briefs and position papers with recommendailons and options for interventions were issued including
one in response to the resurgence of the agitation for the creatr'on of the Republic of Biafra, the decades o d agropastoralist conflict pitching nomadic herdsmen against farming communities in Nigeria; the commemoratr'on of the

2aL6hternatronal Dayfor Disaster Reduclion with the theme: "LiveToTell. RaisrngAwareness, Reducing Morlaiity"
reiterates its commitment to the goal disaster risk reductjonas enshrined in the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk

states including Nigeria as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the achievement of Sustainable

Development Goals.
As always. WAN EP-Nigeria is gurded by the mandate laid down by our founders so we often reflect if we have done ourutmost in th s regard. Yes we are trying to keep up with this mandate within our capacity yet sh faces diverse
cha enges rncluding managing expectatlons within the network and externai. However. WANEP Nigeria in theParticipatoryReviewandAnalysisProcesses(PRAPs)for2Ot6remainedrntheAgrade. PRAPSisoneofthemandatory

WANEP in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development (FMWSD)

through its Women in Peacebuilding Program (WIPNET) partnered to design a strategic'Action Plan'to
support the Nigerian government's response to gender based violence currently suffered by women andgirls in the northern region. This was in view of the fact that the region has been a hotbed of Boko Haraminsurgency attacks where scores of women and girls are kidnapped on a daily basis and forced into suicidebombing and sexual slavery including the over 200 school girls kidnapped from Chibok, Borno State. The
collaboration derived its strategy of response from the ongoing domestication of UNSCR 1325 in Nigeria'''whichgi'vesdirection'for a designed and operational NationalAction Plan (NAP)that will highlight the issuesof armed conflicts and their disproportionate effect on women's role in peace-building and their non
inclusion in formal peace processes. Members of the lnter-ministerial Task Force on gender, peace andsecurity participated in the meeting including State Security Service (SSS), Ministry of lnternal Affairs,
Nigerian Navy, Nigeria Police Force, Nigerian Army, National Huma.n Rights Commission, lnstitute for Peace
and Conflict Resolution (IPCR) and the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA). Other criticalgender experts/institutions represented include; CSOs from the northern region, representatives from the

Department of PoliticalAffairs of ECOWAS, UNESCO, OXFAM and the media.
Key Outcomes of WIPNET Project

CAPACITY IN EARLY WARNING
AN D RESPONSE
To consolidate capacity building initiatives in early

warning and response in Nigeria, WANEP staff
undertook training in Early Warning and Conflict
Analysis organized by the Institule for Security Studies (lSS) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. This initiative
contributes to strengthening the existing WAN EP NEWS with focus on monitoring, reporting, analyzing andcommunicating human security threats.
The workshop, which provided a forum for practitioners in the freld of 'earlywarning from African countries
including Nigeria basically to enhance their skills and exchange knowledge and best practices, was designedwith a dual role of introducing basic concepts in early warning, necessary to slimulate creahve andconstructive discussions as well as support participants through the process of identifying and analyzing
security threats and trends using a collection of early warning tools and techniques.

This supports the proactive strategy of WANEP to provide timely reports of emerging security threats tostakeholders for early response.
