Strategic Conflict Assessment: Nigeria. Consolidated Report.

PB2005104471

Publication Date	2002
Page Count	54
Abstract	The Federal Government of Nigeria is deeply concerned about the issue of conflict and the threat that it poses to national existence and democracy. The proliferation of violent conflict in West Africa and the prospect of national elections -with widespread fears of violence- in 2003 are two of the major factors driving this concern. Accordingly, the Institute for Peace an Conflict Resolution (IPCR) has undertaken to conduct a Strategic Conflict Assessment (SCA) to develop a closer understanding of the underlying causes of conflict in Nigeria and to develop new policy responses. The overall objective is to provide an analysis of conflict in Nigeria at the strategic or policy level in order to inform national and international debates about possible responses. A second key objective is to make specific recommendations to government, the international community, the private sector and to the civil society. Thirdly the study is intended to develop and inform IPCR's own work and capacity.
