The Nigeria Peace Web applies a rigorous, transparent methodology to the collection, classification, and verification of peace events and actors across Nigeria.

Every event published on the platform is sourced, classified using a standardised taxonomy, assessed for reliability, and published with full transparency about data quality and limitations. Where information is incomplete or unverified, this is clearly indicated rather than hidden.

The full Methodology & Taxonomy document sets out these processes in detail including our event classification framework, actor typology, geographic precision standards, verification criteria, and known limitations of the dataset.
