The research context
The 2025 brief synthesised in-depth case studies on farmer–herder conflicts and food systems, drawn from field research conducted between 2023 and 2025. It was peer reviewed (including by a reviewer from the UN DPPOA Mediation Support Unit).
How Evidano fit the workflow
How AI assistance fit alongside the researchers, not in place of them.
- 1Three in-depth country reports
Field studies from Sudan, Nigeria and Mali provided the source material.
- 2Evidano summarised key points
Evidano distilled key points across the three reports as a building block.
- 3Authors wrote and synthesised
Named researchers authored, interpreted and structured the final brief.
- 4Peer reviewed and published with disclosure
AI use was stated openly in the publication, with a DOI on record.
“Evidano (previously AILYZE) was used to produce policy brief from the three country reports.”
AI use can be disclosed in a publication — a defensible, auditable record rather than a hidden step.
In this brief Evidano supported synthesis while researchers kept authorship and judgement.
Multi-country interviews and focus groups are exactly the kind of qualitative data this kind of tool helps structure.
AI-assisted qualitative work is showing up in funded, peer-reviewed outputs. An early-mover workflow advantage.
