2.1 Procedure

Title : 81318298-Support to Selected Outputs for the Project PEACECORE II
Description : About PEACECORE II For decades, Plateau, Kaduna, and Taraba States in Nigeria have been plagued by violent conflicts between semi-nomadic herders and farmers over land disputes. These conflicts have escalated in frequency and severity in recent times. The intensifying conflicts have severely disrupted critical infrastructure, including water, power supply, and agricultural systems, which are vital to local livelihoods. Environmental challenges such as deforestation, drought, desertification, and climate change, have further strained the availability of grazing and arable land, reducing agricultural yields and limiting income-generation opportunities. Traditional mediation mechanisms that once supported conflict resolution are increasingly ineffective, highlighting the urgent need for inclusive approaches to restore trust, reduce violence, and improve livelihoods across these regions In response, the Programme "PEACECORE II - Strengthening Capacities for Conflict Transformation and Livelihood for Groups in Vulnerable Situations in Nigeria"s Central Zone" seeks to strengthen the peaceful and inclusive coexistence between arable farmers and livestock breeders with regard to the non-violent and gender-equitable transformation of conflicts as well as the sustainable safeguarding of the livelihoods of women and groups in vulnerable groups.?? The Programme adopts an integrated approach focused on conflict transformation, economic empowerment, and environmental sustainability to achieve lasting peace in Plateau, Kaduna and Taraba States. It emphasizes a participatory and inclusive approach, ensuring impacts are locally driven, context-specific, sustainable, and long-lasting.? PEACECORE II is funded by the German Federal Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) to the value of 15 Mio. EUR, and is implemented by GIZ over a period of four years (11/2023-11/2027).??? It has three main areas of action/fields of actions:? Strengthening capacities of governmental actors in Plateau, Taraba and Kaduna States to de-escalate conflict between farmers and cattle herders over resources (Peacebuilding and Conflict Transformation)? Addressing the interrelation of peaceful coexistence and economic empowerment among selected target group focusing on food security and livelihood initiatives (Food Security and Livelihoods).? Implementing infrastructure and rehabilitation measures to strengthen peaceful coexistence, social and cultural exchange, and dialogue between conflicting groups (Infrastructure).? ? These areas contribute to the two Fields of Action of the Programme, namely Peacebuilding and Conflict Transformation (PB-CT), and Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL).?
