SPRiNG Guidelines

Evidence-based guidance for preventing and resolving farmer-herder land conflicts, developed by the Strengthening Peace and
Resilience in Nigeria Programme.

Proven Pathways to Resolution

Peacebuilding isn't one-size-fits-all. These guidelines map four distinct approaches — each shaped by local conflict dynamics, institutional landscapes, and 266+ practitioner interviews across Kaduna, Katsina, Plateau, and Benue. No theoretical models. Just field-tested strategies validated by the communities living these challenges every day.
