The Refugee Archive's Country Portfolios

Story to Action Lab

Portfolios dedicated to bridging narrative to policy & programming across multiple displacement contexts.

Nigeria

Benue State Nigeria

Nigeria Resilience

In Nigeria, our Lab focuses on female-headed households and displaced single mothers in Benue State — women who have fled violence carried out by Boko Haram and ISWAP in the north and are navigating displacement with little institutional support or documentation.

Our in-country team is made up of three youth researchers selected from a competitive cohort of more than 30 candidates who completed our custom education portal and hybrid training program. All three continue to receive ongoing mentorship from our Africa Continent Director.
