This thesis explored the peace process in the Alavanyo-Nkonya area. The main
objectives were to examine the nature of the peace process in the Alavanyo-Nkonya
area; the actors in the peace process; the conditions militating against the peace
process and the measures that are needed to achieve a positive peace in the Alavanyo Nkonya conflict area. The thesis employed Saunders’ (1999) Public Peace Process
and multi-track diplomacy approach as a theoretical framework to understand how
various professional and community groups are involved in the peace process. The
data were collected primarily through qualitative methods; observation and
interviews. In all, a total of 15 interviews were conducted with people distinctly
involved in the peace building process using the Snowball and purposive sampling
techniques. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis. From the analysis, the
study found that the peace process has a checkered history beginning from local peace
setters taking the initiative through the traditional and formal courts. Later it became a
public process involving track one actors (Formal State agencies - Commissions,
Committees, the District Assembly and the Regional Coordinating Council), and
several civil society and community groups including professional mediators, faith based organizations, youth and women groups. The principal conditions militating
against the peace building process in the conflict area were identified to be peddling
of rumours which created new escalations, inadequate funds and logistics for
convening committee meetings and workshops, interference from conflict
beneficiaries, ethnic and political interference from various actors. The study
concludes that community ownership of the peace building process is the key
principle that can support the building of a positive peace. |
