Bodhi conducted a learning exercise for Mercy Corps Nigeria's Maida programme, which aims to reduce conflict through improved livelihoods in Borno state. The exercise involved implementing a large-scale quantitative survey complemented by qualitative interviews. As a key outcome, our team produced a revised Theory of Change with accompanying indicators to guide future programming. This comprehensive assessment provided valuable insights into the programme's effectiveness in linking livelihood improvements with conflict reduction, offering a foundation for enhancing the programme's impact in Borno state.
