Job Description
Search for Common Ground (Search) is seeking a consultant to conduct two mapping exercises: Media and communication channel mapping and mapping of stakeholders and development of referral pathways to enhance access to support for victims of religious violence in Nigeria. The media and communication channel mapping will cover 6 states across the geopolitical zones and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to determine the preferred and reliable channels for the dissemination of multimedia content aimed at providing greater access to neutral and conflict-sensitive information related to interfaith harmony and FoRB credible information.
The mapping of the stakeholders and referral pathways for victims of religious violence will identify direct and indirect stakeholders, their level of influence, and existing and recommended referral pathways to be utilized in addressing emerging incidents of religious-based conflicts at the national level and across the 6 geopolitical zones of Nigeria. The consultant’s research proposal should include a plan to analyze the current context on Freedom of Religious Belief across states, gender, age, and religious demographics and mapping of referral pathways and systems that support victims of religious violence across the targeted states. Candidates’ teams should have previous experience in conducting baseline, and mapping, and a strong background in religious studies, and gender analysis.
ContextSearch for Common Ground Search is an international conflict transformation NGO that aims to transform the way individuals, groups, governments and companies deal with conflict, away from adversarial approaches and towards collaborative solutions. Headquartered in Washington DC, USA, and Brussels, Belgium, with 52 field offices in over 30 countries, Search designs and implements multifaceted, culturally appropriate and conflict-sensitive programs using a diverse range of tools, including media and training, to promote dialogue, increase knowledge and determine a positive shift in behaviors.
Religion is deeply embedded in all aspects of Nigerian life shaping not only citizens’ moral values, but also their moral understanding of the world, especially in times of crisis. While there are no official indicators of religious affiliation in Nigeria, most analysts say it is roughly evenly divided between Muslims and Christians. The country is believed to have the largest Muslim population in sub-Saharan Africa. It is estimated that 9% of the population belongs to other (not Christianity) or no religious groups. Religious affiliation is an important identity in the lives of most Nigerians; 87% of Nigerian citizens believe that religion plays an important role in their life. Religious and cultural pluralism is the daily experience of millions of Nigerians. Notwithstanding the existence of religious tensions, the reality is that most Nigerians want to live in harmony with their neighbors of different faiths. A Pew Research report found that 71% of Nigerians think that it is a good thing for people of other faiths to have the freedom to practice their beliefs.
This risks impacting several key overall development indicators, including freedom of religious belief andtolerance. Search-working key stakeholders in the sectors as well as the National Human Rights Commission will be implementing a 36-month project to empower actors to prevent and address conflicts along religious lines and advance FoRB in Nigeria. The project will be implemented using a national scope to engage key actors at the National level and also across the 6 geopolitical regions of Nigeria. While the geographic scope will be National, Search will at the beginning of the project and at regular intervals convene key actors from all regions in a central location and thereafter coordinate them through in-person and online engagements.
