Job Overview And Reporting Line

The Strengthening Peace and Resilience in Nigeria (SPRiNG) Programme aims to support a more stable and peaceful Nigeria, with the ultimate impact of benefiting citizens through reduced violence and increased resilience to climate change. It will achieve this by supporting Nigerian stakeholders in resolving conflicts and improving security, justice, and natural resource management in target areas.

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