Abstract
In the central Niger Delta, access to natural resources is a major challenge for the working population, particularly women, youth and children. This constraint is reflected in the extensive occupation of the area by radical groups that dominate the territory. The objective of this study was therefore to examine the issues related to the management of these conflicts over natural resources in order to promote the socio-economic development of the communities in the Youwarou prefecture. Our sample size was made up of 71 community leaders, and the analysis were based on descriptive statistics. The analysis of these data is contrasted with the various socio-demographic determinants. The results showed that 69.4% of the leaders were already satisfied with institutional resolutions and were aware that conflicts over natural resources had diminished and were managed in a very constructive manner. In conclusion very, few community leaders 29.6% were not at all satisfied with the service provided by existing conflict management institutions and mechanisms.
