Conflict and differences are inevitable. Violence is not. We partner with people around the world to ignite shared solutions to destructive conflicts. We work at all levels of society to build sustainable peace through three main avenues: Dialogue+, Media+, and Community+.
About the Project Goals and Objectives
The goal of the project is: Expanding and strengthening early warning and early response processes to enhance community and state actors’ ability to protect citizens in Borno and Adamawa States. It is supported by three specific objectives:
Obj. 1: Reinforce and expand a community-based early warning and early response system;
Obj. 2: Strengthen engagement between state and local actors to secure communities;
Obj. 3: Strengthen Partners’ Capacity to Support and Monitor Early Warning Systems.
It is constructed on existing initiatives of supporting an overarching community-owned peace architecture in North Eastern Nigeria. The project builds on a process of convening and training influential local leaders for community dialogue-to-action processes in order to promote increased collaboration and confidence in insecure areas, supported through a suite of media and community activities, and strengthening structures to work with the state and linking them to civil society groups. A core component is an early warning/ early response system to identify emerging conflict threats and appropriate solutions. The project also develops strategies to increase learning and building capacity of partners engaged in the project.
Monitoring and Evaluation
Given the innovative nature of the project, and the fluidity of the implementation zones, there is an important learning and adaptation approach. Through active monitoring and evaluation processes, the project seeks to continually identify and adapt lessons learned to develop activities, identify shortcomings and opportunities to address drivers and risks in the region. Lessons learned and best practices will be use to adapt the program design to ensure it is as effective and impactful as possible. Data generated from the monitoring and evaluation will also be shared, when relevant, both at Local Government Area (LGA) level through Community Security Architecture Dialogue and at State level through Peace Architecture Dialogues. Lastly, lessons learned from the project shall be used to support the institutionalization of EW/ER systems and inform similar interventions in Nigeria and elsewhere. SFCG follows monitoring and evaluation (M&E) best practices based on an inclusive participatory process for engaging and sharing with the State Department, local partners, and the peacebuilding community.
Included in this project are two important complementary and evaluation element that will capture emerging lessons learned and measure the projects’ expected impact, namely a developmental evaluation and a quasi-experimental evaluation.
Developmental Evaluation Approach
A developmental evaluation (DE) approach is apt for the project considering the innovative aspects as well as its dynamic environment. The project is part of a highly complex system, and the evaluation shall explain how the issues are embedded in the system and how it can be part of the solution. It is critical to incorporate the concepts of systems and observe, document, and discuss, as it is frame through which problems and solutions can be understood.
The embedded evaluator is a core member of the project team, and will focus on capturing innovative, strategic and timely learning, as well as provide ongoing advice and evidence-based program suggestions to the program team and the management. S/he shall incorporate findings into reports outlining critical evidence, lessons learned, and adaptive management best-practices. Moreover, s/he shall write case studies to document project outcomes of critical processes such as: dialogue process and shift in relationships between stakeholders within communities. These case studies will be supported with quantitative and qualitative data, and will be shared with communities, local partners, and with DRL.
