European Union Extends OSPRE Partnership with €45M Five-Year Commitment

The European Union has announced an expanded five-year partnership with OSPRE Nigeria, committing €45 million towards deepening collaboration on early warning systems, community resilience, and governance reform across the North-East and North-West regions of Nigeria.

The partnership, formalised at a ceremony in Abuja, builds on the success of the EU-OSPRE Phase I initiative which ran from 2022 to 2025 and supported the deployment of OSPRE's early warning infrastructure across 12 northern states.

The new funding will specifically support expansion of OSPRE's Women's Peace Network, enhancement of the platform's AI-powered threat prediction capabilities, training of 5,000 additional community focal points, and the development of a cross-border early warning protocol with Niger and Cameroon.
