In collaboration with the Interfaith Dialogue Forum for Peace (IDFP), the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) and the Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution (IPCR), with support from KAICIID, Nigeria’s interfaith community has developed the Interfaith Code of Conduct (ICoC). The Code is a practical, values-based resource designed to guide Muslim and Christian religious leaders, faith communities and other public actors in promoting mutual respect, responsible communication, peaceful conflict resolution and social cohesion. Grounded in shared principles drawn from Biblical and Qur’anic teachings, the ICoC sets out ten core values, including human dignity, protection of the sacred, prevention of hate speech, justice, integrity, accountability, compassion and respect for lawful authority. It is intended to support religious leaders in their preaching, public statements, media engagement, community dialogue and daily interactions, helping ensure that faith remains a force for peace, coexistence and nation-building in Nigeria.

The Most Significant Change Handbook provides an overview of the approach in response to the need for enhancing the availability of more compelling stories and best practices from the Centre’s grassroots level of interventions, complementing its results-based management approach. It clarifies the development of the MSC approach, followed by an outline of the main advantages and disadvantages of the approach. Examples are then provided to illustrate how the approach has been applied in different contexts and organizations. It also provides guidelines for applying the approach to KAICIID interventions. The Annexes provide a bibliography of the main sources of information used and some MSC practical tools for managers and staff.
