Abstract

Insecurity have increased, posing serious problems for the neighbourhood and having an effect on the lives and livelihoods of citizens in Sub-Sahara Africa. This study seeks to pinpoint the underlying reasons of these problems by undertaking a thorough examination. It is hypothesized that a number of variables, including socioeconomic inequalities, unemployment, ineffective law enforcement, and porous border controls, contribute to the persistence of insecurity in the study area. A mixed-method of approach will be used for the study, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques such surveys, interviews, and data analysis. The results of this research will be invaluable in helping to understand the underlying causes of insecurity in Sub-Saharah Africa, which will guide the creation of targeted strategies and interventions to address these issues and bring back safety and stability.
