【 摘 要 】

Postconflict redevelopment in Africa is noted for low government support but it is well concerned with self-help initiatives. The study determined the accomplishment level of such self-help initiatives in a postconflict community in Nigeria through primary and secondary data collection (n = 120) on the sociophysical activities of their community-based organizations (CBOs). These CBOs drew members from and executed projects within their immediate environment. They generated funds internally to finance essential projects to residents after the conflicts. Their activities toward security of lives and property, public infrastructure, credit facilities, and social development provisions to residents were perceived as accomplished unlike leadership training they offered to key leaders and moral and spiritual supports they rendered to their members. Since these CBOs were formed by residents who were neighbors, operated within their immediate locality, and accomplished more on essential postconflict sociophysical projects, they served as a team-pointer to bottom-up approach in postconflict sociophysical peace-building through self-help initiatives.
