Executive Summary
The Interfaith Mediation Centre (IMC) through its TOLERANCE program continued to
move urgently in the second quarter of FY17 to stem the growing number of crises in
Kaduna State and elsewhere in Northern Nigeria. Through a series of interventions,
workshops, and early warning/early response efforts, IMC and its network of Community
Peace Observers (CPOs) is working to form relationships across conflict lines and build
capacity in communities to manage their conflicts.
As part of these efforts, IMC held a strategic consultative meeting on January 20, 2017
with stakeholders from the continuing crisis in Southern Kaduna, and on the potential
spill over to other states. Participants called for continuing dialogue among faith-based
organizations and government actors. IMC also facilitated several conversations among
local leaders in the region to foster solutions to the crisis, and also engaged in efforts to
prevent the violence from spreading to Kaduna City.
IMC’s early warning/early response system, CPAN, also continued to play a key role in the
gathering, analysis, and dissemination of information on the Southern Kaduna crisis.
CPAN sent out bulk SMS messages to its entire network of CPOs across the country,
briefing them on the crisis and encouraging them to avoid any acts of reprisal in their
communities. IMC also used CPO information to inform the public through radio
programs, social media, and security bulletins about the crisis, including discussion
forums on BBC, VOA, and Dutch Radio.
CMMRC and CPO members also continued to work to consolidate the fragile peace that
returned in Borno State. Between January and March, members facilitated three meetings
to address the security situation and made advocacy calls to the Shehuri community. The
Plateau State CMMRC and CPOs also met to review the security situation and held the
first “Jos Unity and Peace Cultural New Year” activity for peace in January.
IMC’s efforts to foster interfaith understanding at the national level also continued during
the quarter. In conjunction with KAICIID, a national interfaith conference was held
January 25-26, 2017, which featured the establishment of a national platform for dialogue,
and the continuing development of a Religious Tolerance and Anti-Hate Speech Bill.
Religious leaders endorsed the Bill and requested government consideration for passage
into law.
IMC’s efforts to promote youth involvement in peace building measures continued this
quarter through the establishment of Secondary Schools Peace Clubs in Bauchi, Plateau
and Kaduna States. The clubs aim to inculcating attitudes of peaceful coexistence from
an early age so that children will grow up and be more accommodating and tolerant of
others with differing religions and cultures.

1.1 Activity Description/Introduction
TOLERANCE is a five-year project funded by the United States Agency for International
Development (USAID) and implemented by the Interfaith Mediation Centre (IMC) in
Bauchi, Borno, Imo, Kaduna, Kano, Plateau and Sokoto States in Nigeria. The goal of the
project is to increase political stability and ensure development in the northeast,
northwest, and north central regions of Nigeria through religious tolerance and interfaith
understanding. The theory of change is that enhanced religious tolerance and interfaith
understanding in these regions will reduce lawlessness and radicalism, mitigate
extremism, increase legitimacy, and build the capacity of governance structures to defend
religious freedom.
1.2 Intermediate Results
TOLERANCE has three Intermediate Results, as follows:
IR 1: Early Warning and Early Response Strengthened
To achieve this result, IMC established a mechanism called Community Peace Action
Network (CPAN). The foundation of the system is its use of local information sources. At
the bottom level of the information flow is a unique community-based network made up
of Community Peace Observers (CPOs), and at the Track II level there is the Conflict
Management and Mitigation Regional Councils (CMMRCs). These networks and CPAN,
which spread across the TOLERANCE focal States, are comprised of representatives and
volunteers from different ethnic and religious groups.
Specific activities toward this result include the following:
1. In Borno State, CMMRC and CPO members continued to make frantic efforts to
consolidate the relative peace that returned in the North East. Between January
and March, the members have held three (3) meetings to review the security
situation and made advocacy calls to the Shehuri community.
2. Plateau CMMRC and CPOs also met to review the security situation and held its
first Jos Unity and Peace Cultural New year activity for peace in January.
2. CPOs continued to report on conflict-related issues using the Wayaama platform.
The data and information analysed revealed the following:
a. During the review period, the total number of reported conflicts was in the
six intervention States, was 126, As Chart 1 indicates, compared to last
quarter, there were increases in the number of reported conflicts in all the
states, except Kaduna where there was a decrease from 62 to 48.

b. Sensitivity analysis of the reported conflicts indicated that 15% were critical.
c. The focal states recorded 202 deaths and 239 injuries. Borno state recorded
117 deaths and 199 injuries, the highest in the quarter under review. As
Chart 2 indicates comparative view of the number of death and injuries in
the intervention states. As the chart shows there was an increase in both
deaths and injuries from 189 to 202 and from 144 to 239 respectively

IR 2: Trust and Relationship Building Enhanced
TOLERANCE works to build trust and strengthen relationships among religious and
ethnic groups, and thereby mend existing cultural and ideological divides. Without trust,
misunderstandings can quickly escalate into hostility and violence. IMC’s trust and
relationship-building strategy is to utilize advanced dialogue and reconciliation
approaches. These approaches build social capital, which helps bring communities
together, foster common understandings and shared visions of the future, and provide
the essential public ethics for democratic development.
9|P a g e
Specific activities toward this result included the following:
1. A strategic consultative meeting with CSOs and other stakeholders was
held on January 20, 2017 to discuss the continuing crisis in Southern
Kaduna. Specifically, the focus was on:
a. Challenges
b. Solutions
c. Opportunities
The greatest challenges identified were the unpredictable nature of the causes
of the conflict and its unending recurrences in different parts of Southern
Kaduna with the potential of spill over to other states. Workable solutions
identified include continuing dialogue with faith based organizations on the
need for peaceful coexistence and seizing the opportunities of government and
other support institutions commitments towards finding enduring solutions to
the crisis. IMC will continue to follow with the key stakeholders that attended
the meeting for specific follow up actions.
2. Establishment of Peace Clubs in Schools : IMC- TOLERANCE established school
Peace Clubs in Bauchi, Plateau and Kaduna Central and South. The schools are
indicated in Table 2:

and cultures. Short presentations were made in the areas of anger management,
communication skills and early warning and early response mechanisms. The students
also came up with action plans to promote peace in the schools and communities at large.
1. Capacity building was also conducted in Borno State for a women’s group. A total
of 18 participants drawn from Women Wing of Christian Association of Nigeria,
Federation of Muslim Women Association, National Association of Women
Journalists, Interfaith Women Network, National Orientation Agency, National
Drug Law Enforcement Agency and TOLERANCE target communities were
trained. Key issues discussed during the training included:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Leadership skills
Mediation skills
Communication skills
EWER mechanisms
At the end of the training, Action Plan was developed by the participants. The
Women Department will follow up to ensure implementation.
IR 3: Peaceful Coexistence Among Different Faiths Enhanced
IMC is an organization founded by religious leaders. It seeks to foster mutual respect and
tolerance among Muslim and Christian populations in Nigeria by encouraging individuals
to reflect deeply on the tenets of their own Muslim or Christian faith, and to increase
their knowledge and understanding of the opposite faith. More specifically, IMC
identifies religious leaders and congregations of both faiths and engages them in an
exploration of the central commitments to peace and tolerance in both Christianity and
Islam. We then help them to integrate these perspectives into their communities in
practical ways that enable them to develop a theology of communication and reach out
across religious and ethnic divides.

2. Activity Implementation Progress
2.1 Progress Narrative
The TOLERANCE project has seven key output indicators that are broken into annual
targets and reported quarterly. The results in Table 1, above, all the seven indicators, had
values. However, only four reflected satisfactory performance, having achieved 50% or
more of the expected annual result during the previous two quarters.
1. Number of new group or initiative created through USG funding dedicated
to resolving the conflict or driver of the conflict (S): 42% is the current
achievement for this indicator halfway through FY17 because no new groups were
formed. However initiatives were created through peace and conflict related SMS
and bulletins using CPAN hub.
2. Number of organizations taking action to mitigate conflicts (C): CMMRCs
involvement in conflict mitigation and management as well as women support
networks were the main activities that contributed to this indicator – thus
achieving 55% of the annual target.
3. Number of local women participating in a substantive role or position in a
peace building process supported with USG assistance (S). Halfway through
FY 17 the achievement on this indicator is 108%. Predominantly because town hall
meetings to promote peace has taken place in Bauchi and Sokoto states as well as
capacity building for women organization in Borno state.
4. Number of people participating in USG-supported events, training, or
activities designed to build mass support for peace and reconciliation (S) –
44% is the current achievement for this indicator. Majority of the participants were
from the CtA workshop, international women’s day activities, capacity building for
Women and the Peace Clubs established.
5. Number of youth groups engaged in civic activities to promote peace (C) In
addition to the Peace Clubs established in 3 focal States other Youth Groups have
emerged in Yelwa Kagadama, Karofin Madaki (Bauchi State), No Man's Land and
Sabon Gari (Kano State).
6. Number of USG-supported events, training, or activities designed to build
support for peace or reconciliation among key actors to the conflict (S) –
The 66% achievement was through Creation of Peace Clubs, Coordinate to
Achieve, Capacity Building for Women, International Women's Day and Advocacy
and Meeting on Religious Tolerance Bill.
7. Number of host national inhabitants reached through USG assisted public
information campaigns to support peaceful resolution of conflict (S) – The
12 | P a g e
148% achievement was through through media engagements with BBC, VOA,
Dutch Radio, NTA and KSMC.
2.2 Implementation Status
IR 1: Early Warning and Early Response Strengthened
Community Peace Action Network (CPAN) Operations
CPAN continues to relate actively with the CMMRCs and CPOs in the six IMC
TOLERANCE focal states as well as the North-South Committees of Bauchi and Imo
States. The CMMRC and North South Committees report state-level early warning issues
and intervention processes, while the CPOs serve as the early warning and early response
structure at the community level. CPAN activities are captured on the Wayaama platform
and exported to Excel for further analysis.
During the review period, the frequency of reported conflicts as captured on the
WAAYAMA platform5 was 202. In the six intervention States, the number was 124
representing 61% of all conflicts reported. See Table 3 for the number of reported
conflicts in each state.

Delegates at CtA-2 Held in Abuja, January 25 and 26, 2017
3. Impact assessment study was conducted in Quarter 2 primarily focusing on follow
up of the assessments done in FY 2015/16 for the following areas:
a. Segregation
b. Social Capital
c. Advanced Integration
d. Drivers of Conflict
The findings will be used to determine progress made against the set of issue areas
compared to previous findings in the last three strands of the impact assessment. This
will help to demonstrate the impact TOLERANCE interventions made after more than 4
years of implementation, document lessons learned, and recommend improved and/or
alternative interventions going forward.
Immediate follow up to the data collection, data analysis training was conducted to
enable the staff to appreciate how the data could be analysed and to expose participants
to some introductory concepts on research/evaluation methodology, statistical data,
sampling, and data analysis using Excel spread sheets on real data from other projects.
The data is currently being analysed by TOLERANCE partner University of
Massachusetts, Boston USA in consultation with IMC. The final report is expected to be
ready in Quarter 3.
17 | P a g e
3. Integration of Cross-Cutting Issues and USAID Forward Priorities
3.1 Gender Equality and Female Empowerment
In addition to mainstreaming women’s participation in all IMC activities in the focal
states, IMC TOLERANCE has specific activities designed to reach women and ensure
their increased and effective participation in all issues. In this quarter, only one womenfocused capacity building session was conducted with several women-focused
organizations represented, including FOMWAN, NCWS, and NAWOJ.
3.2 Sustainability Mechanisms
IMC TOLERANCE has established a CMMRC in all six focal states including the NorthSouth Committee in Bauchi and Imo. These councils and committees, in conjunction
with the CPO committees in the target communities, drive the early warning and early
response mechanism at the state and community levels. They report to the CPAN hub,
which is managed from the IMC headquarters in Kaduna. The CMMRCs, the North-South
Committee and the CPOs enrich the early warning and early response mechanism in their
respective states and greatly assist in the building of a solid database for the CPAN.
3.3 Environmental Compliance
There have been no environmental issues or activities during the quarter.
3.4 Youth Development
IMC TOLERANCE has specific activities designed to reach youth. These include early
warning and early response, and conflict prevention. In addition, IMC aims to involve and
target mainstream youth participation through the establishment of a Youth Peace Club
in selected secondary schools in the focal states. In this quarter 8 Peace Clubs were
established in 3 focal states, Bauchi, Plateau and Kaduna States. Two (2) of the schools are
for girls.
3.5 Policy and Governance Support
IMC TOLERANCE continued to work on the Religious Tolerance Bill, sharing ideas and
getting feedback from stakeholders for what to include in the bill. A wider high-level
consultation is expected in the next quarter to finalize the bill.
3.6 Local Capacity Development
IMC TOLERANCE has trained faith-based organizations, youth groups, and women’s
organizations in Borno State. Areas of training include peace building, conflict
18 | P a g e
management and mitigation, mediation skills, and the early warning and early response
mechanism. These trainings are helping to increase the number of peace activists in the
focal states in particular and across the country in general.
3.7 Conflict Mitigation
During the period under review, IMC TOLEARNCE continued its commitment to peace
promotion and conflict mitigation in the focal states. IMC strengthened the capacity of
its partners, target communities, and stakeholders in these areas, providing standard,
consistent, and continuous mentoring, oversight, and technical support. IMC also
provided some financial support to the CMMRCs and CPOs in each of the focal states.
3.8 Working with Persons Living with Disability (PLWD)
No PLWD related activity was conducted during the quarter.
4. Stakeholder Participation and Involvement
University of Massachusetts, Boston (UMass Boston)
The University of Massachusetts, Boston continues its collaboration with IMC in all
aspects of the TOLERANCE project listed above, particularly in terms of the strategic
design and implementation of these initiatives. The Program Manager at UMass Boston
has continued to contribute to the development of leadership, program planning,
implementation, and management/advocacy skills of IMC TOLERANCE staff. Specifically,
UMass Boston continued to provide support in the areas of organizational development
and change, project planning and implementation, and public image promotion. UMass
Boston also assisted USAID in its annual assessment visit to IMC and in the development
of alternatives for restructuring TOLERANCE to improve upon its overall performance.
During the quarter, UMass Boston also assisted IMC in revising a draft Religious
Tolerance and Anti-Hate Speech Bill for consideration by key religious constituencies in
Nigeria, and in building religious leaders’ and civil society support for the Bill.
In addition, UMass Boston concluded the review of the next round of impact assessments
for TOLERANCE interventions. Modifications were made with regard to:
a. Modalities of sampling
b. Content of the questionnaire
c. Incorporating training on research methodologies and data collection and analysis.
19 | P a g e
5. Management and Administrative Issues
IMC is presently restructuring and reviewing job descriptions of key officers to address
the present realities in its management and administrative set up in line with the Centre's
Operational and Financial Guidelines.
6. Lessons Learned
a. IMC needs to improve upon its use of the data and information captured on the
Wayaama platform so it can be analysed to provide inputs for informed decisions
regarding conflict resolution and early response.
b. Regular contact with the target communities’ structures deepens these
communities’ commitment to the TOLERANCE project, and IMC needs to
communicate with these structures more often.
c. Re-training and other logistic support for the CMMRCs and CPOs is necessary to
increase their effectiveness.
d. IMC TOLERANCE is short on funds to intervene on emerging issues and needs to
restructure its operations and finance to address this concern.
