a case of Akum village, North West Region, CameroonSamenvatting
This study was conducted to examine the factors contributing to the Farmer-Herder conflict in Akum village, Cameroon. The study further aimed at analyzing the effects of the conflict, stakeholder involvement and conflict resolution mechanisms proffered to help mitigate the conflict in Akum village. A thorough understanding of the conflict was imperative in the design of recommendations to ensure peaceful coexistence between farmers and herders as requested by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. Farmers and herders once coexisted and had a symbiotic relationship, however the mutual relationship deteriorated thus leading to violent conflict. Farmer-herder conflicts have therefore become an issue in Cameroon especially in Akum village given its repercussions on livelihood, food security and community relation.
