Entrenching Peace: Assessing Community Resilience and Peacebuilding Initiatives in Northeast Nigeria [Report]
This research project provides detailed insight on how communities in Borno and Adamawa states are developing resilience approaches and civic solutions to counter violent extremism. Some of these community-based initiatives include the efforts of women and the youths to undertake peacebuilding and early warning activities that have contributed to community resilience. The objective of this study is to document and share the results and lessons of these initiatives and the potential for learning and replication in other communities affected by violent conflicts in the North East and Nigeria.
