The Priority Sustainable: Nigerian Civil Society Working Group represents over 20 civil society organizations across Nigeria working to strengthen communities, systems, and implementation of policies to better support and protect against insecurity fueled by terrorism, banditry, and crime. These issues of insecurity and instability are fueled by entrenched conflict, historical grievances, poverty, lack of access to systems and services, injustice, under-representation, and corruption - made worse with physical realities such as drought which estrange neighboring tribes and communities as they compete for land, food, and water. These problems have solutions. These solutions are practical and can be scaled. These civil society organizations are just a handful of hundreds doing this work for as recently as a couple of years to literal decades.
