Welcome to SPRiNG Nigeria
Strengthening Peace and Resilience in Nigeria (SPRiNG) is a UK-funded programme working to foster peace, resilience, and inclusive governance in conflict-affected communities across North-West and North-Central Nigeria. By addressing the root causes of conflict and vulnerability, SPRiNG supports efforts to reduce violence, strengthen local systems, and build a more climate-resilient future.
Our work is grounded in a politically informed, evidence-based approach that integrates environmental science, political economy, and conflict analysis. Through partnerships with local actors, civil society organisations, and government institutions, we aim to create long-term, sustainable change from the ground up.
What to Expect
As we prepare to share more about our work, this space will soon feature:
- Knowledge Centre – insights, analysis, and evidence that guide our programming and contribute to learning across the peacebuilding and resilience sectors.
- Impact Stories – real stories from the ground highlighting how local communities are leading change, resolving conflict, and building resilience.
- Events – upcoming engagements, dialogues, and learning opportunities from across the SPRiNG network.
- Research and Analysis – evidence from SPRiNG’s ongoing research activities that inform our approach and help close critical knowledge gaps in conflict prevention, governance, and resilience.
Research and Analysis
SPRiNG is an evidence-based programme, continuously applying its learning into programming activities while seeking new insights to build the evidence base of what works and address critical knowledge gaps through ongoing research.
Our programme-led research includes:
- Political Economy Analysis
- Gender and Social Inclusion Analysis
- Climate and Vulnerability Analysis
- Conflict Sensitivity Analysis
- Farmer Practices Study
- Pastoralist Practices Study
- Economic Analysis
These documents will be made available here shortly.
Project Research
In addition to core programme research, several of our projects are undertaking thematic and area-specific studies. Information on these will be uploaded in the coming weeks.
