Strengthening Peace and Resilience in Nigeria

Olly Owen is leading a TPP team working on the Strengthening Peace and Resilience in Nigeria (SPRiNG) programme. This is a four-year programme funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and managed by Tetra Tech International Development. 

SPRiNG supports a more stable and peaceful Nigeria, so that citizens benefits from reduced violence and increased resilience to climate change. Working with Nigerian stakeholders, SPRiNG aims to: 

1. support locally led enhancements to natural resource management, conflict prevention, violence reduction, security, and justice
2. work to remove or lessen the impact of critical barriers to peace; and
3. support partnerships for peace with like-minded international partners to multiply funding spent by FCDO.

Our TPP team supports SPRiNG by undertaking or quality assuring regular political economy and conflict analyses to update the programme's knowledge of the dynamic context in which it operates to ensure that: 

1. it is engaging on the right issues,
2. with the right stakeholders, and
3. with the most appropriate sensitive approach to maximise impact and lessons as well as minimise risk of doing harm.
