Abstract

Background

This study aims to examine the extent to which NGOs have been engaged in conflict resolution between the Mvolo and Yirol.

Methodology

The study adopted a descriptive research design. The researcher will use both primary and secondary data sources to collect the data for the study. The researcher used questionnaires to gather the data

Results

In terms of gender, males were 52.1% while females were 47.9%, the study established that non-governmental organizations have played a giant play in conflict resolution and peacebuilding. They have become important players in building bridges of peace and reconciliation among the Mvolo and Yirol, through providing humanitarian assistance, meeting basic needs, providing health services, building and equipping schools, and rehabilitating warriors from both communities into productive social activities like football clubs to create unity. This has greatly continued to improve relationships, peace, and stability along the border areas of Mvolo and Yirol.

Conclusion

The study wishes to conclude that both the governments of Western Equatorial and Lake States should consider using Non-Governmental Organizations in settling disputes along their borders since they have proved to be more effective in conflict resolution, their activities on development in these border areas have made them neutral, liberal and non-partisan in any conflict management, earning them more trust and confidence from the local’s population in these areas.

Recommendation

Both state governments of the two counties should consider partnering with Non-Governmental Organizations and the village elders in providing water through drilling boreholes, and joint markets, and deploying joint police petrol at the border points, this will greatly help reduce conflicts that originate from scarcity of water during prolonged droughts which lead to scramble for the available little water for their livestock
