摘要：Conflicts have, for a long time, been considered as constraints rather than development problems. Consequently, District
Development planning in conflict prone areas has failed to adopt conflict sensitive development strategies. This paper is
based on a study that utilized key informant interviews, focused group discussions, and historical documentations in the
Nanumba North District to determine the prospects of adopting a conflict sensitive planning framework. The study revealed
that although 67% of the respondents indicated that there was the possibility of another outbreak of violent conflict, conflicts
were considered security issues and thus isolated from development. All stakeholders were unanimous in their view that the
challenges of mainstreaming conflict into the development planning process could be surmounted through political
commitment and the allocation of resources.
