This scientific reflection seeks to identify the causes at the root of the underdevelopment of the Banalia Territory.
On the methodological level, the research uses the dynamist method of George Balandier supported by the technique of disengaged direct observation, the documentary technique, the technique of free interview. The sampling technique and data processing technique was deciphered from content and statistical analysis.
Thus, the results of the study show that the poor governance of the political authorities of the State, the non-existence of the impact of the ETDs and the disinterest of the local population in the projects are the reasons at the root of the underdevelopment in the Banalia Territory.
