CLEEN FOUNDATION
CALL FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST CONSULTANCY TO CONDUCT A NATIONAL SURVEY ON EMERGING SECURITY CHALLENGES IN NIGERIA

INTRODUCTION
CLEEN Foundation (formerly known as Centre for Law Enforcement Education) is a non- governmental organization established in January 1998 with the mission of promoting public safety, security, and accessible justice through the strategies of empirical research, legislative advocacy, demonstration programmes and publications, in partnership with government, civil society and the private sector. This project is being implemented with the view of contributing to the safety of lives and properties in Nigeria by providing empirical data to policymakers, and other critical stakeholders within the area to develop action plan and advocacy necessary to tackle insecurity in the country.

BACKGROUND
The state of security in Nigeria has been on a steady decline for over a decade as the country has witnessed various forms of insecurity such as terrorism, armed banditry, cattle rustling, kidnapping, armed robbery, extreme fundamentalism, secession agitations and many others. These challenges have unfortunately colored the entire country with regions having their share of the troubles. The North-Central has been battling with incidences of kidnapping of both adults and young pupils, banditry, and gang related activities and violence. The North-East for over a decade has been besieged by terrorism which has claimed several innocent lives, and this is coupled with other security incidences like kidnapping and even armed banditry. Recently, the North-West region of the country has become the epicenter of security challenges in the country with worrying cases of kidnaping, armed banditry, herders-farmers clashes, ethno-religious clashes, terrorism, gang violence, and others, while South-East, South-South, and South-West have been covered with cases of trafficking, kidnapping, armed banditry, armed robbery, secession agitations, extra-judicial killings by law enforcement agencies and many others. These challenges have been allowed to fester to this point majorly because duty bearers have could not nip them in the board early enough and the government has also handled them with kids gloves.

The Nigerian state is very volatile, and this has increased the susceptibility of the country to new forms of crimes and security threats which can further be exacerbated by the state of the economy in the country. Nigeria cannot afford another full-blown security challenge and hence it is critical that deliberate action from government must be taken to consciously mitigate further security challenges. It is with this view that CLEEN Foundation is seeking to provide factual and necessary data on emerging public safety- and security issues across the country to decisionmakers, academia, CSOs, and the public. This EOI is advertised to source a reputable research organization to engage for the collection of a nationwide survey on the subject matter.

OBJECTIVES OF THE NATIONAL SURVEY ON EMERGING SECURITY CHALLENGES IN THE COUNTRY
The objective of this exercise is to provide reliable and credible data on emerging public safety and security challenges that can support decisionmakers, the academia, CSOs, and the public on the state of security in the country. This will help develop action plans for all that are concerned in public safety- and security’- in Nigeria and to quickly address security issues before they go out of control.

In view of the above, applications are invited from suitably qualified research organizations to conduct a national survey on emerging public safety and security’- challenges in the country.
