Job Title: Northeast Nigeria Security Consultant
Location: Nigeria
Background

Conciliation Resources has been working to support peacebuilding initiatives in Nigeria since 2011. Conciliation Resources and our local civil society partners work in conflict affected communities to empower youth to be positive agents for change, build community cohesion across societal divides and support communities to have the confidence and space to engage and collaborate with government actors to improve community security.
Over the past six years much of our work has focused upon Plateau State in the Middle Belt of Nigeria. However, we have recently developed a new stream of work, which takes the experiences and lessons from our previous initiatives and adapts it to the context in northeast Nigeria.
We are currently involved in supporting efforts in two Local Government Areas (LGAs) in each of the two target States (Borno and Yobe). This work is implemented in close partnership with two local NGOs, which are based in Damaturu and Maiduguri respectively.
By providing important security guidance on minimising risks/threats to Conciliation Resources and our local partner NGOs, this consultancy will help facilitate the implementation of project activities.

We are currently seeking a consultant to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the key risks/threats to the safety and security of Conciliation Resources’ and local partner NGOs’ personnel, premises and assets in Borno and Yobe State, Nigeria and to provide advice, guidance, practical and implementable recommendations on risk reduction and mitigation measures to respond to the identified risks/threats that support the safe implementation of project activities.
Scope of Consultancy

Undertake a context analysis of Borno and Yobe States, with a particular emphasis on the project’s target LGAs, which should include incident mapping, current risk analysis, a summary of existing external security mechanisms and sources of reliable and timely security updates.

The report will be shared with Conciliation Resources Executive Management Team and may well be shared with the Board of Conciliation Resources who has ultimate responsibility for the safety and security of all staff....Read more details here ==>>>http://www.currentschoolnews.com/job/conciliation-resources-nigeria-recruitment/
