The Plateau Peace Practitioners Network (PPPN), in partnership with the Plateau State Peace Building Agency (PPBA), has announced the official launch of Plateau Watch, a mobile application designed to strengthen security incident reporting, early warning and conflict prevention across Plateau State.
The President of PPPN, Nanmak D. Bali, announced the development, describing it as a significant milestone in the network’s efforts to promote community safety, strengthen resilience and leverage technology in preventing violence.
The application, which was earlier demonstrated during the 2026 International Day of Peace celebration on September 21 at Odiling Hotel, is now available for download on the Google Play Store.
Plateau Watch is designed to strengthen the Early Warning and Early Response (EWER) mechanism by providing residents and peace practitioners with a digital platform to report security threats, suspicious activities, emerging tensions, gender-based violence and other incidents requiring urgent attention.
The application allows users to submit incident reports with details of the location, category and severity of incidents. It also supports the attachment of photographs and voice recordings, location tagging, anonymous reporting and offline report submission, which automatically syncs when internet connectivity is restored.
Users can also receive verified security alerts and updates approved by PPBA, while accessing additional resources, including the PPPN journal and counselling services.
Speaking on the initiative, Bali said the platform would improve the ability of communities and peace practitioners to identify and report early warning signs of conflict before they escalate into violence.
He added that the application would strengthen information sharing and collaboration among community stakeholders, peace practitioners, PPBA and relevant security and response institutions to promote timely interventions.
With elections approaching, the PPPN President urged member organisations, civil society groups, community leaders and other stakeholders to embrace the innovation and encourage responsible reporting of security concerns that could threaten peace and stability in their communities.
Bali also called on member organisations to download the application, familiarise themselves with its operations and mobilise their networks to promote wider adoption.
He noted that Plateau Watch remains open to further partnerships and collaborations with organisations committed to building peaceful, safe and resilient communities.
The application can be downloaded through the Google Play Store using the link below:

The introduction of Plateau Watch is expected to provide an additional technology-driven channel for early detection, responsible incident reporting and preventive action, reinforcing collective efforts towards sustaining peace across Plateau State.
