IOM 2024 / Great Ovie Taghwo

As climate change intensifies, competition over dwindling natural resources in Northwestern Nigeria, Katsina State has seen conflicts that often result in displacement and loss of life. In response, IOM is empowering communities to prevent and resolve disputes before they escalate. Through the Community Response Network (CRN) and transhumance tracking tools like the Early Warning and Early Response System, IOM is strengthening local capacity for peacebuilding and providing vital support to displaced persons in the region.
