Adamawa State, Northeastern Nigeria, has been faced with conflict related to the utilization of natural resources, particularly land and water resources. This has resulted in widespread conflicts in which property and lives have been lost especially in local government areas (LGAs) like Demsa, Numan, Girei, Lamurde and Mayo Belwa.
The community-based organizations/groups such as Peace Architecture Dialogue (PAD), Community Response and Network (CRN) and so on established through the COMITAS have assisted in building confidence, enhancing social cohesion and enhancing interaction among the conflicting parties. This has contributed to booming business in the communities and advancement of intergroup relationships particularly between the herding and farming communities.
