CRIGSO provides independent, evidence-based research, policy analysis, consultancy, and advisory services to governments, development partners, civil society organisations, businesses, communities, and other institutions. We combine research with practical, context-sensitive solutions to address complex governance, security, and development challenges across Nigeria and West Africa.
CRIGSO undertakes research and provides advisory support on peacebuilding, conflict prevention, conflict management, security, and human security. Our work covers conflict dynamics, early warning and early response, community security, political violence, terrorism and extremism, armed groups, post-conflict recovery, disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration (DDR), and peacebuilding. We also provide conflict-sensitive analysis of emerging security threats and support stakeholders in developing locally grounded strategies for sustainable peace.

We analyse the political, economic, and institutional factors shaping development outcomes. Our research addresses poverty, inequality, unemployment, resource governance, development interventions, state capacity, and the governance–development nexus. Our approach combines empirical research with political economy analysis to explain why policies and development programmes succeed, fail, or produce unintended outcomes.
