This article considers the ways in which knowledge   and research influenced the design of a programme to reduce violent conflict in Nigeria. The   diversity of sources and forms of conflict in Nigeria, and the way that local grievances interact   with national struggles over politics and resources, combined with a need to show measurable   results within five years, made the task of programme design extremely challenging. The article   discusses how the project design team responded to this challenge. It describes the four main   lessons that emerged from dialogue-based research studies that helped the design team formulate a   theory of change for the programme, and subsequently its methodological approach and activities.   The studies shaped the central theme of the project, which was the need to transform conflict   management institutions into genuinely inclusive forums for dialogue, thereby regaining the trust   of those currently excluded from dialogue but yet most affected by violence – particularly   unemployed youth and women and girls. The article does not portray research and knowledge   simplistically, as the sole solution to project design issues. Rather, it shows that if research   findings can take designers directly to the core of the problems as perceived by those most   affected by them, then they can play a critical role in designing appropriate interventions and,   as implementation proceeds, to demonstrating progress towards project goals
