Background |
|||||||||||||
Over the last decade, insurgency in the North East (NE) of Nigeria has displaced a significant segment of the population and caused extensive loss of life. Segments of community has lost means of supporting themselves. Military and other formal security institutions have been involved in counter insurgency action seeking to liberate affected areas and prevent attacks to many other areas in the NE. At the community level, local security arrangements have emerged or been reimagined, including localized community security measures that brings along communities, formal and informal security institutions, including volunteer security outfits (VSOs). In 2019, the State Government of Borno adopted the Borno State Security Trust Fund (BSTF) and other Matters Connected there with the Law, 2019 “Borno Security Trust Fund Law, 2019” (BSTF Law). The Law seeks to achieve the objective on: Providing resources for the acquisition and deployment of security equipment and such human, material and financial resources as shall be found necessary for the effective functioning of all Federal, State, local Government and other security agencies operating in the state and part of the fund shall be reserved for training and retraining of security personnel. The operationalization of the BSTF Law is spearheaded by a body, established by the Law itself, which will ensure its effective implementation in consultation with other parts of Government, Federal and State level. The BSTF brings together representatives from the legislative arms of Federal and State Government, all formal security sector actors operating in the state, state government actors, representatives of Volunteer Security Outfits (informal security actors), religious and traditional institution representatives. In 2020, following the establishment of the BSTF, together with the United Nations Development Programme a series of capacity development interventions with the BSTF board were completed. This under the concept on Expanding opportunities for Borno youth Volunteer Security Outfits and their contribution to peace and security”, aligned with some of the functions of the BSTF as outlined in its constitutive legislation that seeks inter alia to conduct function of procurement and maintenance of security equipment, training and retraining of security personnel, deployment of programming likely to eliminate violent crimes and discourage small arms proliferation. To this end and following subsequent consultations between the BSTF and UNDP, the two organizations require the services of a consultant to support the development of a strategic plan of the BSTF and operational work plans in support to strategic implementation of the trust fund mandate, interlinkage with federal level policies, including on realization of key priority recommendations from the joint capacity development forum of 2020. |
