The CIEPD Conflict Watch Center (CWC) is self- funding a multi-level, people driven conflict early warning and tracking system developed by the Community Initiative for Enhanced Peace and Development in 2013 as a part of the small grant intervention implemented during the first phase of the Nigeria Stability and Reconciliation Programme (NSRP) on Output 1,
which basically dealt with conflict and governance in three communities: Mogho (Gokana LGA); Marine Base (Port Harcourt LGA) and Amingboko (Abua-Odual LGA). The CWC was designed to work primarily with information generated by community-based trackers, using a set of indicators that are both community specific and generated by the target communities themselves. After the end of the project in 2013 CIEPD adopted it as a mainstream program of the organization and the program has been implemented since then. During this reporting period, the CWC recorded a total of 1,516 early Warning reports ranging from cult related incidences, chieftaincy/boundary disputes etc. See below for classification. To access more information, there is a dedicated website: www.ciepdcwc.org.
