Synopsis
DRL is soliciting a program that pairs civil society led early warning networks with strengthened government rapid response capacity across the Middle Belt. By deploying community monitors, establishing secure communications between at risk communities and security forces, and building joint coordination centers that link federal, state, and local responders to real time threat data, the program aims to detect threats before they become attacks, accelerate security force deployment, and reduce both casualties and attack severity, directly addressing the protection gap and accountability deficit that have allowed this violence to persist.
