Improving Resilience and Reintegration for School Kidnap Victims and their School Communities in Northern Nigeria

United Kingdom Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office in Nigeria requested a literature review to gather evidence-based best practices and explore potential avenues for coordination and collaboration with other development partners to address improving safety and community resilience in and around schools and reintegration of kidnap victims.

The request encompasses four key questions:

  1. What evidence exists – from Nigeria and elsewhere – about the needs of former abductees (e.g. psychosocial support, social and emotional learning) and the barriers preventing their successful reintegration into school and their communities?
  2. What is being done and by whom to increase school safety and community resilience to attacks in Nigeria?*
  3. What is being done and by whom to facilitate the reintegration of former abductees into communities and education systems in Nigeria?*
  4. What evidence exists – from Nigeria and elsewhere – about the effectiveness of existing approaches? What examples are there of alternative approaches that could be adapted to the context of Nigeria/affected states?

*Responses to questions 1 and 2 include: (i) national/state level policies; (ii) state and NGOs implemented programmes/initiatives; (iii) community-level initiatives, and (iv) systems for coordinating these efforts.
