Acknowledgments
The Authors would like to thank the organizations and initiatives that work tirelessly to collect data on issues of peace and conflict in Nigeria used in this book (Nigeria Watch, FFP’s UNLocK, CFR’s Nigeria Security Tracker, WANEP Nigeria, CSS/ ETH Zurich, and ACLED). We also want to thank The Gadfly Project for working with us to design the Peace Map so that the data from those sources could be triangulated, cross-validated, and visualized. Most of all we want to thank the Foundation for Partnership Initiatives in the Niger Delta for making the Peace Map possible, and for the work you do in applying this analysis for peacebuilding and development on the ground.
