OBSERVATORY OF CONFLICT AND VIOLENCE PREVENTION
The OCVP is non political and neutral Somali institution, which is independent of governments and civil society. It has been set up to improve the effectiveness of community safety interventions by advancing learning and evidence-based programming.The Observatory of Conflict and Violence Prevention was established in early 2010 as the central node of an Early Warning And Response Network (EWARN).The OCVP is understood as a set of functions shared by specialised local and international institutions. A core team has been put in place at University of Hargeisa, in Somaliland. It currently includes a project manager, an IT specialist, two trainers, a Data analyst, Research Officer and an administrative assistant.
Partners in the OCVP include participants in the Somali Community Safety Framework (SCSF). The SCSF is a loose consortium local and international NGOs, academic institutions, and UN agencies working in the realm of community safety in Somalia, which aims to develop a harmonised approach to community safety. The OCVP will therefore also fulfil an important networking role, first among community safety practitioners for the exchange of data, lessons and tools, secondly between local communities and authorities through an effective Early Warning and Response Network (EWARN), and thirdly between practitioners, academics and politicians to translate findings into adequate policies. read more
