Background of the Study
Disarmament programs are critical tools used to address the proliferation of illegal weapons and to promote peacebuilding in conflict-prone areas. In Niger State, particularly in Kontagora LGA, the rise in armed banditry and violent clashes between various groups has necessitated the implementation of disarmament initiatives aimed at reducing the circulation of small arms and light weapons. These disarmament programs are often part of broader peacebuilding efforts to create a safer environment for communities and facilitate reconciliation among groups in conflict.
The effectiveness of disarmament programs, however, is often debated. While they can reduce the immediate threat posed by armed groups, the success of these programs in fostering long-term peace and stability is not always guaranteed. In Kontagora, where the impact of armed violence is still evident, the ability of disarmament programs to rebuild trust among communities and support sustainable peace remains unclear. This study will examine how disarmament programs in Kontagora have influenced community peacebuilding and whether they have contributed to lasting stability or merely provided a temporary solution to armed conflict.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the implementation of disarmament programs in Kontagora LGA, violent conflicts continue to persist in the region, suggesting that these programs may not have fully addressed the underlying causes of violence. The challenge lies in the ability of disarmament efforts to integrate former combatants into society, rebuild community trust, and foster long-term peace. There is limited research on how disarmament initiatives specifically affect community peacebuilding in Kontagora, and this study aims to assess their effectiveness in contributing to sustainable peace.
