Many conflict resolution measures have been used and continue to be used in order to bring peace to Bawku, but the area does not yet experience lasting peace. This paper examines the challenges and prospects of the peace process in the ethnic conflict in the Bawku Traditional Area, in the Upper East Region of Ghana. As part of this, the study also examines the mechanisms used to resolve the conflict by both government and CSOs/NGOs and how the conflict can be resolved to enhance peace in the area. The study reveals that the Bawku conflict needs to apply a more participatory approach to resolving the conflict than the current ad hoc approaches do.
