Tomorrow is a New Day: Supporting Community-Level Conflict Resolution and Reintegration of Ex-Militants to Promote Stability in the Niger Delta

The Tomorrow is a New Day (TND) Project was funded under the EU Instrument for Stability and implemented by Search for Common Ground (SFCG) in seven trend-setting communities in three Niger Delta states; Rivers (Okrika, Ogu and Kpor communities), Delta (Oporoza and Koko communities) and Bayelsa (Amassoma and Kaiama communities) It was designed to support community reconciliation, to influence wider conflict dynamics and support the Presidential Amnesty and DDR process. The seven communities are very different in several key aspects including the size of the communities, the conflict history and legacy, the number of ex-militants in the area, and the relationship between these and the communities and between the security forces and the communities. The TND project was based on an integrated approach to peacebuilding which involved working with a range of stakeholders and combined community-based interventions with broader media programming.
