Towards Peaceful Resolution Of The Conflict In The Bawku Enclave For Sustainable Development—A DRATF DISCUSSION PAPER NOT A BLUE-PRINT

A Concept Paper PUT TOGETHER BY THE DIOCESE OF NAVRONGO-BOLGATANGA THROUGH THE GOOD GOVERNANCE JUSTICE AND PEACE DIRECTORATE IN COLLABORATION WITH MILLAR INSTITUTE FOR TRANSDISCIPLINARY AND DEVELOPMENT STUDIES (MITDS) INTENDED AS A WORKING DOCUMENT TO KICK-START DIALOGUES AND DISCOURSES ON THE BAWKU CONFLICT TOWARDS PEACEFUL RESOLUTION OF THE CONFLICT IN THE BAWKU ENCLAVE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: A Concept Paper “Without Peace there is no Meaningful Development and without Meaningful Development there is no Future…..” 1.0 PRELUDE This piece is put together from a Development Lens and not so much from a Governance Lens. Governance here is as relevant as it plays a key role in contemporary development; as captured in the current Decentralization Model adopted for Ghana; where Chiefs are Key Stakeholders especially at the District Assembly Level but even more so at the Unit Committee Levels (Fridy and Myers, 2019; Mensah et al., 2024; Baazeng and Dery, 2024; Kuupiel, 2024). The various minds contacted at the preliminary phase of putting this idea to paper are concerned citizens (Elders, Chiefs, Various Fonctionnaires) who are increasingly getting worried about the amounts that is spent in ensuring that people can still live in Bawku. This concern is in tandem with concerns about the spillover effects of the disagreement into other parts of the Country, and the potential for opportunistic incursions from the neighboring Countiries – cross-border disturbances. Leveraging on these expressed concerns and the numerous pieces of advice that was freely given; and an overwhelming need, identified by the people themselves, to have window of opportunity to meet and dialogue on the way to resolve their differences and proffering solutions to their own challenges, this paper is initiated. These silent voices that are often not heard in the open, these few citizens and the concerned actors of the north contacted, are calling for something on the table that they can all be seeing to be contributing to. Hence, or otherwise, this zero-draft position to kick-start constructive conversations is being tabled for consideration by all. The conversations might lead to immediate resolution of the Bawku situation or evolve into a roadmap to peace, or might turn out to be a white elephant/ non-starter. Not preempting the outcomes, it is part of the foreseen that the process could take a couple of months or even years; to get transformed into an acceptable product. If it fails to deliver on its intentions, posterity and history would remember us as concerned citizens of the area that made an effort to contribute to resolving the Bawku impasse. 2.0 EXPERIENCES OF THE NAVRONGO-BOLGATANGA DIOCESE 2.1 What was done over the period as regards the Bawku Conflict Background and Context of Project The Diocese of Navrongo-Bolgatanga through the Good Governance Justice and Peace Directorate has been engaged in peacebuilding and conflict prevention in the Diocese for a very long time. The Diocese has been contributing to peacebuilding efforts in different parts of the Diocese in a piece meal form. However, a more coherent approach was adopted when the Directorate was established in 2014 to focus on peacebuilding, conflict prevention, justice, security and humanitarian response issues. Through the Nunciature, CRS Ghana, the Diocese initiated in peacebuilding efforts in the Eastern Corridor of the Diocese (Bawku Conflict, Bunkpurugu-Yunyoo etc). With funding from MISEREOR, the directorate has been active in peacebuilding in the Corridor since 2014. NABOCADO has undertaken the following in the Bawku Conflict Through the Bishop; held Dialogue sessions with the key actors in Bawku (led by Chief Samuel Bugri (Mamprusi and Chief James from Kusasi). This facilitated process culminated in the agreement of the parties to have the Okro burial and a tentative date agreed on by the parties. A budget was received by the parties requesting for support from the Diocese. While preparations were being done by the Diocese, the process was truncated by unguarded pronouncement by a prominent member from one of the parties at a programme in Garu. This effectively stalled the process and attempts to revive the process was unsuccessful as the Mamprusi representative was evasive and stopped responding to the invitation by the Bishop. Note that the okro burial, a traditional mediation process would have committed, traditionally, the parties in Bawku to cease fire on violence. Sustained Accompaniment with Community Peace Structures (Community Peace Agents/CPAs and Justice and Peace Committees/JPC): The INPEACE project funded by MISEREOR of Germany continued to engage and train 95 (65M, 30F) CPAs and 21 (16M,5F) JPCs in two districts with tools in conflict prevention and peacebuilding. The participants were refreshed with skills in dialogue, negotiation, conflict analysis, resolution and conflict sensitive planning. These skills enabled CPAs and JPCs to track conflict related incidents arising in communities and respond appropriately. They are also able to analyze the shifting power dynamics in communities including government authorities, traditional leaders and religious leaders. Promoting Youth-Leadership led Discussions on Social Cohesion and Peaceful Co-existence Our focus with youth in leadership in the conflict areas served to achieve two things: develop conflict resolution skills in youth and develop youth role models as entry points in institutions where some of the youth work. Fifty-two (52) youth leaders and assembly members were trained in two districts of Bunkpurugu-Nakpanduri and Yunyoo districts. 5 Promoting Young Peacebuilders through Radio and Activism-This focused on empowering young person under the School Peace Club (SPCs) model. The project provided young people with training in radio-based peace education and community mobilization for coordinated activities. Members of the SPCs have been equipped with skills to talk on peace and find common ground to co-exist in schools and communities with sharp divisions along ethnic lines. 6 Strengthening District level stakeholder engagements for Development-The INPEACE project facilitated an interfacing platform for skills development and advocacy for key local government staff and assembly members on non-violent approach to peacebuilding. The platform provided skills in conflict sensitive planning, conflict resolution and advocacy

Millar Institute Donates 28 Dual Desks to Yikene Basic School

The Millar Institute for Transdisciplinary and Development Studies is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a heartwarming gesture. Apexnewsgh reports To celebrate this milestone, the institute has generously donated 28 dual desks to Yikene Basic School, underscoring its unwavering commitment to education and corporate social responsibility. During the donation ceremony,Mr. Isaac Dasoberi, a proactive member of the anniversary planning committee, took the opportunity to emphasize the significance of supporting less privileged schools. “Education is our priority,” he passionately stated. “Charity begins at home, and Yikene community is our home.” He said In a touching display of gratitude, Mr. Dasoberi extended acknowledgment to the Yikene Chief for his invaluable support, advice, and interventions over the past decade. Furthermore, he expressed deep appreciation to the schoolteachers for their unwavering dedication. On behalf of Prof. Millar, the institution and the planning committee chairman, Mr. Dasoberi formally presented the donation to the Municipal Education Director ably represented by the PRO Mr. Agunga-Dongo Fredrick Ayine, highlighting the institute’s unwavering commitment to giving back to its community and promoting education. This heartwarming gesture exemplifies the Millar Institute’s dedication to making a positive impact on its community and fostering a culture of learning and development. At the donation ceremony, Madam Patience Iyaaba, Dean of Teachers at Yikene Basic School, took the stage with a confident yet warm smile. She began her speech by expressing profound gratitude to the Millar Institute for Transdisciplinary and Development Studies (MITDS) for their unwavering support. “Thank you so much for the support you have given us,” she began. “Yikene school is a relatively new school, with the Junior High section established only 4-5 years ago. Despite our youth, we’ve achieved tremendous success, thanks to the community, Prof. David Millar, and other supporters.” Madam Iyaaba then painted a vivid picture of the school’s remarkable journey, highlighting its academic accomplishments. She proudly shared that due to the school’s outstanding academic performance and discipline, the enrollment had significantly increased. Moreover, she joyfully announced that the school had achieved outstanding BECE performance, ranking among the top 10 schools in the municipality. Madam Iyaaba attributed these successes to the community’s involvement and the invaluable support of organizations like MITDS. “We’re grateful for this donation of 28 dual desks, which will enhance our learning environment,” Madam Iyaaba said, her voice filled with genuine appreciation. “We wish MITDS a happy 10th anniversary and continued success in their endeavors.” The Bolgatanga Municipal Director of the Ghana Education Service, Agunga-Dongo Frederick Ayine, expressed gratitude to the Millar Institute for Transdisciplinary and Development Studies and Prof. Millar for their generous donation. The municipality was facing a staggering deficit of 9,000 furniture pieces, with only 150 dual desks received from the Government of Ghana that year. This shortfall was even more alarming considering that over 100 furniture pieces became unusable each term. Mr. Ayine emphasized that without community support, the municipality risked falling behind in education. However, there was a beacon of hope. The Millar Institute’s donation marked a significant step towards bridging this gap. Prof. David Millar had been a steadfast supporter of education, previously collaborating with the Municipal Chief Executive to provide furniture to schools. Mr. Ayine acknowledged this effort and urged school teachers to reciprocate the trust placed in them. “To whom much is given, much is expected,” Mr. Ayine reminded the teachers. “Once people are investing in you, it means they have a certain level of trust in you to deliver.” He encouraged the teachers to take good care of the donated furniture, ensuring that the investment yields positive results. This partnership between the Millar Institute and the Bolgatanga Municipal Education Service served as a model for community-driven initiatives that could propel education forward in the region. By working together, they were able to create a brighter future for the students and the community at large. Meanwhile, Yikene Assemblyman, Hon. Asaare Francis Akolbila, was overjoyed as he stood witness to a heartwarming gesture from the Millar Institute. The institute had generously donated 28 dual desks to Yikene Basic School, and Mr. Akolbila couldn’t contain his delight. “The donation is a tremendous relief for our children,” expressed Akolbila, his face beaming with happiness. “For far too long, they’ve had to make do with lying on the floor while learning, which has significantly impacted their educational experience.” Emphasizing the critical need for proper furniture, the assemblyman highlighted its role in creating a conducive learning environment. “This donation will greatly contribute to improving the quality of education in our area,” he stressed. Hon. Akolbila expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the Millar Institute, coinciding with their 10th-anniversary celebration. “As you mark this milestone, I pray that God richly blesses you and continues to enhance your institution,” he conveyed with sincerity. The assemblyman’s sentiments resonated with the community’s deep appreciation for the Millar Institute’s unwavering commitment to education and development. This meaningful partnership is poised to leave a lasting impact on Yikene’s youth, empowering them to reach their full potential. The PTA Chairman, Mr. Gilbert Azanto, expressed deep gratitude towards Professor Millar for the generous gift of 28 dual desks from the Millar Institute. “Professor Millar’s kindness has truly brought happiness to our school,” Azanto remarked. “This donation will greatly improve our learning environment.” However, Azanto also used the opportunity to draw attention to other critical needs within the school. Pointing out unfinished projects, he evoked the famous words from Charles Dickens’ beloved novel: “Like Oliver Twist, we ask for more.” Mr. Azanto extended a warm invitation to the people of Yikene and to kind-hearted individuals outside the community to rally behind the school’s development. “We require assistance to finish these projects and ensure our children receive the best possible education.” The PTA chairman’s plea shed light on the ongoing challenges faced by Yikene Basic School. Despite the contribution from the Millar Institute, the school still requires support to address its infrastructure and resource deficiencies.

Millar Institute Targets District Assemblies to Champion Grass Economy Innovation

Dr. Maxwell Ba-an Tengolzor, a lecturer at the Millar Institute for Transdisciplinary and Development Studies, is leading a project to transform the grass economy in Northern Ghana. Apexnewsgh reports With funding from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the project aims to turn 10 million tons of grass into productive resources, such as charcoal, briquettes, biochar, and paper. Dr. Ba-an explained that the project is training rural women in three regions – Upper East, Upper West, and Northern Region – to produce these resources and use biochar as a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers. The project has already conducted training sessions, conferences, and workshops in all three regions. The ultimate goal is to leverage the grass economy to influence social protection policies at the local government level, particularly in areas such as school feeding programs and poverty alleviation initiatives. To achieve this, Dr. Ba-an and his team have invited technical experts, social welfare directors, agriculture departments, forestry services, and other stakeholders to a national policy forum in Bolgatanga. Professor David Millar, President of the Millar Institute, addressed stakeholders at a forum, emphasizing the institute’s goal to revolutionize the North’s economy through innovation. He highlighted the district assembly as the primary target for this initiative, leveraging the region’s natural advantage as the “grass land” of Ghana. Meanwhile, addressing stakeholders at the forum, Professor Millar encouraged stakeholders to champion this innovation through the assembly, stressing the importance of educating donors about the initiative’s regional focus and potential national benefits. He explained that, although a national dialogue was initially planned, the institute opted to begin with district-level discussions to ensure grassroots engagement and ownership. By focusing on the district assemblies, the Millar Institute aims to empower local communities to drive economic growth and development, positioning the North as a model for sustainable innovation in Ghana.

Mainstreaming Grass Biochar in Agriculture: A way to go for Farmers–Clifford Amoah Adagama

Clifford Amoah Adagama, of Kessena Nankana Cooperative Baobab Processors Union (KANBACU), has emphasized the potential of grass biochar to transform agriculture in the region. Apexnewsgh reports Speaking at a dialogue meeting organized by the Millar Institute for Transdisciplinary and Development Studies (MITDS) in Bolgatanga, Mr. Adagama highlighted the benefits of mainstreaming biochar into agricultural production. Mr. Adagama noted that introducing biochar to dry season farming can help reduce the reliance on chemical fertilizers, promote soil rejuvenation, and increase fertility levels. This innovation has the potential to support women farmers who struggle to access capital for chemical fertilizers. KANBACU has already received training on biochar production and has started initial pilots. Mr. Adagama stressed the need for government support to scale up this innovation, advocating for a seed fund to be established for environmental conservation and protection initiatives. This fund would enable innovators to access resources to develop and scale their technologies, reducing the environmental impact of bushfires in the region. According to him, the adoption of grass biochar in agriculture has the potential to reduce pressure on farmers, promote conservation, and increase household income. Mr. Adagama’s call to action emphasizes the importance of government investment in this innovation to reduce the environmental impacts of bushfires and promote sustainable agriculture practices.

Embracing Grass Biochar: A Game-Changer for Farmers in Talensi

Peter Abunga, Department of Social Welfare and Community Development Talensi, has expressed his enthusiasm for grass biochar, a innovation that has the potential to revolutionize farming in the region. Apexnewsgh reports Speaking at a dialogue meeting organized by the Millar Institute for Transdisciplinary and Development Studies (MITDS) in Bolgatanga, Mr. Abunga shared his views on the benefits of grass biochar, highlighting its potential to improve soil fertility, reduce the need for chemical fertilizers, and increase water retention in the soil. Mr. Abunga, who comes from a farming background, emphasized the significance of this innovation for farmers in the region. He noted that the use of chemical fertilizers has become increasingly expensive, making it difficult for farmers to afford. Grass biochar, on the other hand, is a cost-effective and sustainable solution that can help enrich soil fertility, reduce soil erosion, and increase crop yields. The Department and Community Development Talensi official expressed his gratitude to the Millar Institute for introducing this innovation and urged the government to intervene and support the implementation of grass biochar in farming practices. He emphasized that government backing is crucial for the success of this policy, particularly in the context of the Planting for Food and Jobs initiative. Mr. Abunga’s endorsement of grass biochar is a testament to its potential to transform farming in Talensi and beyond. As a community leader, his support is essential in promoting this innovation among farmers and encouraging its adoption. “With government support, grass biochar can become a game-changer for farmers in the region, improving their livelihoods and contributing to food security”.
