This project seeks to establish a Community-Based Early Warning and Response Mechanism that empowers local communities, especially women, to identify and respond to early signs of conflict. It strengthens grassroots capacities through inclusive peace committees, local training, and structured reporting systems. The project will ensure community voices and gender perspectives inform national peace and security frameworks. By aligning with the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) agenda, it will promote meaningful participation of women in conflict prevention and peacebuilding. The mechanism links local knowledge with national-level coordination, supporting early action, inclusive dialogue, and policy influence. This directly contributes to the general objective of the call by advancing gender-responsive, locally driven, and sustainable approaches to peace and security.
