With funding from GHR, The Inter-Religious Peace- building in Northern Nigeria (IPNN) project is strategically building on a three-year DFID-funded program, titled, CONCUR, that aims to resolve pastoralist/farmer conflict in Northern (Plateau State), with an emphasis on conflicts that cross religious lines and negatively affect local livelihoods and economic growth. Our program addresses underlying drivers of community conflict by preventing the escalation of ethno-religious violence and creating incentives for government, the private sector and community members to work proactively to promote stability using religious leaders. The importance of improved sustainability of dispute resolution through the religious leaders who are seen as role models cannot be over emphasized. In order to support the sustainability of dispute resolution agreements and prevent the emergence of new conflicts, Religious leaders with inputs from their community will identify and implement various activities that will address the underlying conflict systems Purpose / Project Descriptions Mercy Corps and partners Pastoral Resolve (PARE) are preparing to reinforce practical cooperation on development issues through interfaith community dialogues and radio broadcasts where peace messages are generated as part of the peace building activity.

These messages are meant to draw clear lines between religion and the underlying economic causes of the dispute, and to strengthen tolerance and trust between conflicting groups.
