From the field, climate change isn’t data — it’s failed harvests and vanishing rains. Smallholder farmers feel it first. We work alongside them, building local resilience because survival happens at the roots, not in policy papers. The ground is shifting; we’re shifting with it.
In northeast Nigeria, terror and banditry have turned villages into battlegrounds. We stand with communities caught between Boko Haram, ISWAP, and armed bandits — fighting for justice, security, and the right to live without fear. Peace must be local to be real.
We assess what works — and what doesn’t — when government programs hit the ground. Too often, policies are designed in offices, not villages. We measure real impact at the community level, because accountability starts where people live.
Young people need jobs, not promises. Women need healing, not just handouts. We create pathways to employment for youth and safe spaces for women to rebuild — because development without dignity is just statistics. Growth starts with people.
Grassroots Researchers Association (GRA) was inaugurated in Maiduguri, Borno State, in 2009 as a response to the insurgency in northeastern Nigeria. The organization was formally registered with the federal Corporate Affairs Commission in 2016. The goal was to create an evidence-driven resource for the government, development partners, academics, and researchers to make enlightened decisions on sustainable solutions.
As a non-profit and non-political organization, GRA’s primary purpose is conflict resolution through the provision of in-depth evidence-based research. We believe empirical data can be used to help provide context specific solutions to Nigeria’s troubled regions. Our independent analysis documents both the violence and the efficacy of government responses, and is designed to influence policymakers at the national, state and local government levels.
