Conflict & Peacebuilding
Evidence-based interventions in conflict prevention, dialogue facilitation, and security sector reform across Nigeria’s most fragile communities. CHF works with farmer-herder communities, armed group-affected populations, and post-conflict urban settings to co-produce evidence for durable peace.
Outputs include conflict mapping reports, community dialogue frameworks, and security sector accountability assessments used by state-level policymakers.
Conflict affects far more than safety. It weakens livelihoods, disrupts education and healthcare, and erodes trust within communities. Lasting peace therefore requires more than responding to violence, it requires addressing its root causes and empowering communities to shape solutions.
At CHF, conflict and peacebuilding work is grounded in evidence, dialogue, and community participation. We work with farmer-herder communities, conflict-affected populations, civil society organisations, and government institutions to better understand the drivers of conflict and identify pathways to sustainable peace.
Our work includes conflict mapping studies, community dialogue frameworks, and security sector accountability assessments that help policymakers and practitioners make informed decisions. By generating evidence directly from affected communities, we ensure that peacebuilding efforts reflect local realities and priorities.
For communities, the impact is tangible: safer environments, stronger social cohesion, improved livelihoods, and greater opportunities for children, families, and businesses to thrive.
Because peace is more than the absence of conflict, it is the presence of trust, opportunity, justice, and hope.
