The Nigeria Peace Web (NPW) is an open-source, digital platform which systematically maps peace actors and events in Nigeria. Harnessing cutting-edge technology, it provides timely, evidence- based data and analysis for policymakers, practitioners, donors, and researchers looking to shape the peacebuilding landscape in Nigeria.

NPW responds to a critical gap in peacebuilding: while there is extensive mapping and reporting on conflict and political violence, no such systematic equivalent exists for peace. As such, we know extensively about when, where, and how violence occurs, but possess limited systematic knowledge about peace actors and initiatives that prevent, mitigate, manage or even transform conflicts.

Systematically identifying peace — rather than conflict — events and actors can inform peacebuilding interventions in a way that deliberately nurtures the potential for peace, and strengthen the otherwise latent "stitches and threads" which hold even fragile and conflict-affected communities together.
