Abstract

Implementation of the proposed research must consider possible eruptions of violence in the region which constitute risks to project team members and other project participants. Key elements of a security protocol for the study are outlined in this document, as every aspect of information collection in the Niger Delta region is sensitive. Thus the project's advance planning and training has been designed to prepare researchers and their assistants to assess potential dangers and empower them to retreat when a threat is perceived.
