“We cannot talk about conflict prevention without recognizing the role of early warning and response. They are intertwined.”
This film documents the Country Risk and Vulnerability Assessments (CRVA) conducted across West Africa to measure communities’ resilience to conflict, humanitarian emergencies and other shocks. These CRVAs take a hyper local approach to data collection and assessment, which in turn better informs the Comunidad Económica de Estados de África Occidental (CEDEAO) violence prevention and development initiatives.
As the film outlines, Estados Unidos. Agencia para el Desarrollo Internacional Reaccionar a los datos de alerta temprana y respuesta (PREMIO) project worked closely with ECOWAS to conduct human security risk and vulnerability assessments in all 15 West African countries. Using Geographic Information System (GIS), análisis de sistemas, and quantitative methods for a baseline, as well as field research conducted at the national and local levels covering the region’s hot spots. The project interviewed government officials, security agents, traditional rulers, mujeres líderes, youth and development actors to better understand the systems already in place that foster resilience.
Building on this foundation, REWARD then worked with ECOWAS and national actors for robust analysis and response planning across the region. REWARD también trabajó con la CEDEAO en un conjunto de procesos y herramientas de planificación de alerta temprana y respuesta temprana., incluyendo el Análisis conjunto y planificación de respuesta (JARP) Compendio. Este compendio de marcos y manuales detalla un sistema holístico y colaborativo de alerta temprana y respuesta temprana de seguridad humana..
USAID’s REWARD supports ECOWAS in its use of innovative technology and application of best practices to detect and better respond to human security challenges across the region. REWARD was implemented by Creative Associates International and their partners, the Fund for Peace and Karuna Center for Peacebuilding.
