Preventing Organized Crime and Building National Resilience
The Prevent pillar focuses on understanding and addressing the conditions that allow organized crime to take root and thrive. It emphasises an evidence-based understanding of the drivers and enablers of organized crime in Nigeria, while supporting targeted preventive measures for at-risk groups and communities.
Through research, policy analysis and stakeholder engagement, the pillar seeks to identify vulnerabilities before they develop into organized criminal activity and contribute to interventions that address its underlying social, economic and institutional causes. The ultimate objective is to strengthen national resilience and reduce the conditions that enable organized crime.
Key Areas:
- Research on the drivers and enablers of organized crime
- Risk and vulnerability assessment
- Prevention strategies for at-risk groups and communities
- Addressing root causes of organized crime
