#COVID19 related curfews and food shortages fuel a rise in security incidents. Mitigating these new sec threats requires research/adequate and timely dissemination of info. Assessing how African citizens perceive these threats can provide valuable insights when addressing them.

Citizen’s security is a #HumanRight! The inclusion of #citizens in decision-making options for #African peace and security is critical to building bridges that improve state and regional security.
