20 communes. A phased roadmap through 2030. Community-led delivery units sustaining the approach beyond project completion.
🇸🇳 Senegal's #HumanSecurity model is ready to scale across the #Sahel — aligned with national strategy and driven by local demand.

Governance strengthened. Inclusion expanded. Social cohesion improved. Resilient livelihoods established.
In Senegal, #UNTFHS delivered integrated results across every dimension of #HumanSecurity — with 20 communes now expressing interest in replication.

Data builds understanding. Community forums build action. Local #HumanSecurity Committees build continuity.
In Senegal, #UNTFHS combined all three — turning evidence into integrated, community-led governance grounded in local realities.

45% food insecure. <40% near a health post. >70% reliant on climate-sensitive livelihoods. >55% under 20.
In Senegal's border communes, insecurities compound. The #UNTFHS #HumanSecurity Index maps that cycle to guide collective action.

1.2 billion young people. Countless solutions. From climate innovation in Jamaica to digital citizenship in Uzbekistan, social cohesion in Côte d'Ivoire & economic opportunity in Egypt — see how youth are shaping resilient communities.

Security succeeds or fails at the level of people and societies. Drawing on 20 years across 110 countries, #UNTFHS demonstrates that human-centred, prevention-oriented approaches deliver security that is effective, legitimate & sustainable.
That is evidence to impact.

Trust is a strategic asset. Security measures that undermine it weaken security itself.
In 🇨🇴 Colombia, a #UNTFHS programme helped integrate #HumanSecurity into national defense policy & local development plans, strengthening the social contract from the ground up.

Prevention saves human & financial costs.
In 🇮🇶 Iraq, a #UNTFHS programme addressed climate-security risks through early warning systems, community mediation & local action plans — reducing displacement before tensions escalated.
This is #HumanSecurity in practice.

#HumanSecurity is not abstract. It is a practical framework built on five principles — people-centred, comprehensive, context-specific, prevention-oriented, and grounded in protection and empowerment.
This is how democratic values become operational security choices. #UNTFHS

Today's threats — climate shocks, cyber risks & conflict — target states & societies alike. They cannot be managed by force alone.
The question is no longer "values or security", but how values can be made operational, credible & effective.
This week, #UNTFHS explores how.

“...the UNTFHS can provide a unique added value to countries where human security is deteriorating, but has not yet resulted in conflict.” - UN RC
UNTFHS gives Resident Coordinators a proactive tool to act early, empower communities & strengthen resilience at the local level.

The #HumanSecurity Monitoring initiative in the #Sahel is possible thanks to the support of @ItalyMFA_int & @MofaJapan_en.
Their contributions help generate the data needed to understand people’s vulnerabilities & strengthen preventive, human-centered policies in Chad & Cameroon

“Human security […] is a powerful toolkit that helps countries plan better, prevent better, allocate budgets better, and design comprehensive policies.”
— María Fernanda Espinosa, former UN PGA & member of the Advisory Board on Human Security, 27 Oct 2025

“Human security reminds us that protecting people and protecting states are in fact mutually reinforcing. It offers a path from managing symptoms to addressing causes, from reacting to crises to anticipating and averting them.”
— Amb. Knut Vollebaek, 27 Oct 2025

“I urge all countries to use the important tool of human security to address today’s multi-layered crises and to integrate its insight into our efforts to prepare for future challenges.” - UN Secretary-General António Guterres on 2 April 2024
