Background of the Study
Peacebuilding is a critical process in post-conflict societies aimed at preventing the recurrence of violence, fostering social cohesion, and promoting economic development. Successful peacebuilding initiatives create a stable environment for economic activities, attract investment, and enhance community resilience. In conflict-prone regions, peacebuilding efforts often include dialogue facilitation, community reconciliation programs, security sector reforms, and economic empowerment initiatives (Oladipo & Bello, 2023).
Birnin Gwari Local Government Area in Kaduna State has experienced persistent conflicts, including banditry, farmer-herder clashes, and intercommunal violence. These conflicts have negatively affected economic activities, leading to the destruction of farms, markets, and businesses while forcing many residents to flee their homes. In response, government agencies, NGOs, and local community leaders have initiated various peacebuilding programs to restore stability and encourage economic recovery (Abdullahi & Musa, 2024). However, despite these efforts, insecurity and economic stagnation remain significant challenges.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of peacebuilding efforts in Birnin Gwari and their impact on local economic outcomes. It aims to assess how conflict resolution mechanisms, economic empowerment programs, and community dialogue initiatives contribute to economic stability and growth. The findings will provide insights for policymakers, development agencies, and stakeholders involved in conflict resolution and economic planning.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite ongoing peacebuilding efforts in Birnin Gwari, economic instability persists, with many businesses struggling to recover and local investment remaining low. While peacebuilding programs have been implemented, their direct impact on economic activities has not been adequately studied (Ahmed & Yusuf, 2023). Additionally, challenges such as continued insecurity, lack of trust in government interventions, and insufficient funding for peace programs have slowed progress (Ibrahim & Mohammed, 2024). This study aims to evaluate how peacebuilding efforts contribute to economic stability and identify barriers to their effectiveness.
