Politically and economically disenfranchised, there appears to be a growing frustration in Northern Nigeria over resource allocation, the religious divide and the continued domination of the Christian south.

Against this backdrop the Heinrich Boll Foundation (HBS) in Nigeria  is funding the peace building activities of Khaliben Konsult, a civil society organisation founded in 2002. Khaliben’s activities centre on conflict resolution and peace-building in an area of Nigeria formerly known as the Sokoto Caliphate, and which now comprises Kebbi, Sokoto and Zamfara states in North West Nigeria.

TransparentAid is supporting HBS by designing a mobile conflict reporting and information system (CRIS).
