Who We Are

A Platform for Collaboration and Research in Conflict Studies

CORN West Africa empowers researchers to influence policy through impactful research results.

The Conflict Research Network West Africa (CORN-West Africa) serves as a vital knowledge hub for scholars and policy analysts engaged in armed conflict, political violence, and peacebuilding. By fostering collaboration among researchers in the region, we facilitate publications in prestigious journals and encourage meaningful participation in policy discussions. Our partnerships with local and international institutions enhance our research efforts, ensuring that our findings contribute to improved understanding and solutions to the pressing issues facing West Africa today.

CORN West Africa provided invaluable support, helping me connect with researchers across the region. Their collaborative approach enhanced my research significantly.
