Facilitating Social Norm Realignment and Reintegration of Kawar Maila Ward In the Kawar Maila ward perception among community members is high that they are not trusted by neighbouring wards within MMC due to their heavy losses of boys to JAS recruitment. Residents, women and youth in particular, are worst affected with loss of loved ones, means of livelihood, including shelter which were burnt down by security agencies on assumption that they were harbouring JAS.  Kawar Maila ward members are isolated from others wards and due to mistrust they do not seek the needed social services (in particular psychosocial services aiming to reduce or heal trauma deriving from JAS actions and security services) nor do they try to reintegrate into the greater MMC society. In addition, resistance by other communities to engage with members from Kawar Maila community reduces their livelihood opportunities and economic prosperity. 

Efforts to redress grievances at the community level about the role JAS has played in negatively damaging the social fabric, causing community mistrust in service provision and security institutions as well as each other within communities and between communities, will be able to contribute to overall peace building at the community level. This will reduce stigma of the Kawar Maila, especially among women who are perceived by other communities as being connected to JAS because their sons joined the group. 

The project will focus on the Kawar Maila community, one of the worst affected communities by both the atrocities of the insurgents and the mismanagement of the situation by security agents. Activities will be implemented by the local CSO Herwa Community Initiative, founded in in 1999 as Friends of the Habitat in response to the low and pervasive literacy level, rising HIV prevalence, malaria and widespread poverty. Herwa is today a leading CSO in Borno state working on security and governance, addressing issues around conflicts By the end of the project greater agency will be created for community members in Kawar Maila Ward in MMC and they will be empowered with greater capacity for conflict resolution (current) and conflict prevention (future). Access of Kawar Maila Ward members to the wider community will be increased, thereby reducing stigma and increasing trust among community members and between them and service providers. Finally, Kawar Maila ward members will be empowered with conflict resolution skills and will be able to access neighbouring communities and security officials with greater ease and trust, and even among themselves. Kawar Maila Ward community members, women and youth in particular

Countering narrative of Apathy to Western Edu  and  Promotion of Peace Edu in Islamiya Schools Efforts are needed to bring about community awareness of the role of Islam in peacemaking and peace building, the compatibility of Islam with “western” notions of conflict resolution, and the sensitization and advocacy of religious officials (including school directors and Arabic and Islamic scholars) to their role in shifting the narrative from what is “Boko Haram” to what is “Boko Halal.”  Levels of understanding are low at the moment, however levels of apprehension to the compatibility of Islam and western principles are quite high among the population, including community members and Islamiya school directors. Dialogue at the community level focuses on either conflict resolution or Islam but rarely both.

1. design/adoption of a manual which highlights the ways in which Islam is compatible with “western” concepts of conflict resolution , with proposed ideas for how mediation, negotiation and dialogue occurs within Islam in Nigeria. 
2. sensitization of parents of children in Islamiya schools through sensitization meetings to the compatibility of Islam with “western” education and concepts of conflict resolution, including community mediation and negotiation. 
3. series of media campaigns such as radio panel discussion, phone-in talk show and regular public forums using a media outlets Overall this project will lead to an increase in understanding among participants of the compatibility of principles of Islam and conflict resolution principles. Specifically, the project is aiming for an increase in understanding among parents and pupils of Islamiya schools on the alignment of these three principles and how education and conflict resolution can be facilitated at the community level to foster a greater sense of peacefulness and acceptance of western education in the community. Specifically, Islamiya schools in Borno State have almost the same number of young girls as young boys as well as female and male teachers and directors; therefore, by rolling out the manual with core principles of conflict resolution in it, we will be able to reach all relevant stakeholders (women, men, girls, boys, parents, community members, etc). Islamiya School Directors and religious scholars; teachers of Arabic and Islamic studies linked to Islamiya schools in MMC; male and female scholars and preachers  in MMC; parents of children at Islamiya schools

SAFE Communities: Security Actions for Everybody The project aims to create space for Liberians in four central counties to engage in regular discussions with LNP officers, and to ensure that beneficiaries have a clear understanding of their rights and the mechanisms through which they can seek to hold officers accountable for neglect and wrongdoing. On the other side, LNP officers will be given training in how to peacefully resolve conflicts and respect the rights of citizens, and to communicate with community members the budgetary and capacity restraints that may at times make it difficult for them to conduct their duties. Greater communication between stakeholders in the security sector, as well as a stronger flow of information are expected outputs based on the project activities. Project activities have been developed around three expected results: Citizens increase awareness about their rights and obligations and those of security and justice institutions including complaints mechanisms (ER1); Citizens analyse, monitor, report and address the security and justice situation in their communities (ER2); CSOs promote greater accountability and transparency in the security and justice sector (ER3). SO1 â€“ Promote inclusive participation of people in defending their rights 
SO2 â€“ Support the strengthening of accountable and transparent police-citizen relations Community members in 25 communities and police officers at the local level

Creating Dialogue Spaces for Women Peacebuilders Our proposal falls under Outcome 2 as outlined in the ToR (â€˜The Women, Peace and Security Agenda is implemented through an enabling environment that supports womenâ€™s participation in conflict prevention and community peacebuildingâ€™).
