Invest in prevention, not in recovery
Every attack prevented saves lives, livelihoods and development gains that take years to rebuild. EWRAC turns early warning into action with the people and institutions closest to the threat.
Who we are
An independent, non-governmental centre
EWRAC is a specialised centre of ISRA, the Institute for Strategic Research and Analysis, an independent, non-governmental and not-for-profit institute. We work alongside states and regional bodies, and with the communities most affected by insecurity, to make prevention work in practice.

Funding priorities
Where your support makes the difference
Community early-warning networks
Training and equipping communities along threatened corridors to recognise and report warning signs safely.
Contested Corridors monitoring
Sustained tracking of attacks, extortion and illicit flows on the region's key economic routes.
Preventing recruitment
Programmes that reduce the pull of armed groups on young people and women in the most exposed districts.
Breaking silos
Cross-border dialogues that connect agencies, countries and communities around shared threats.
Prisons and borders
Support to prison reform and border management, where radicalisation and illicit movement often meet.
Open research
Free, high-quality public analysis that strengthens the regional evidence base for all.
