Connecting and innovating to deliver meaningful prosperity and peace pathways


How can we jointly create prosperity and peace pathways that have a dynamic coherence between socioeconomic and environmental priorities, are locally valid and locally owned, and which guide actions towards socially-just futures?

WHERE WE WORK

We work across the Lake Chad region, carrying out research on conflict, peace, livelihood and prosperity issues, building the capacity of a new generation of young academics in security, environment and development research, while also bringing together science, society and the state in a reciprocally useful way to advance innovative approaches to knowledge co-creation and change-making.

OUR TEAM

We are a team of skilled researchers working across multiple disciplines on projects covering many areas of human security, peace, environment and development research. We embody a rich blend of experience and aspire to make discoveries that impact lives and livelihoods.

DISCOVER OUR RESEARCH

Much of the work we do involves exploratory research, field visits, interactions with diverse stakeholders and communities in the Lake Chad region, data gathering and analysis, and knowledge exchange through local citizen labs, publications and public meetings and events.
