Farmer-Herder relations in Ghana: Interplay of Environmental Change, Conflict, Cooperation and Social Network, 2016

This graph illustrates the ties/relationships which exist in farmer-herder conflicts in southern Ghana. Contrary to what is often said the Fulani herders are not always those who cause conflict. They also develop strong ties with local associations, opinion leaders and represent an important workforce for large livestock owners. The density of relations does not end only with these relations above described, but it also involves the security agents and officials of the Ghanaian government who most often intervene in the resolution of conflicts.

Purpose
The importance of this graph lies in the fact that the interpretation of conflicts can go beyond simple confrontations, but show how these conflicts are dynamic and complex (because they involve many actors) in an West African Region hits by Climate change challenges.
