Mapping Peace
Across Nigeria
The Nigeria Peace Web is an open-source, digital platform which systematically maps peace actors and initiatives across Nigeria. It provides timely, evidence-based data and insights for policymakers, practitioners, donors, and researchers looking to shape the peacebuilding landscape in Nigeria.
