Kenya

While democratic institutions continue to strengthen and stabilise, political insecurity, ethnic tensions, and electoral violence remain significant drivers of instability in Kenya. Furthermore, structural issues such as youth unemployment, marginalisation of rural regions, conflicts ignited by climate-related stressors, and cross-boundary and cross-border disputes aggravate local and community grievances. This is most tangibly felt in areas where state presence and services remain limited.

Notre travail

Interpeace has been present in Kenya since 2014, with a geographic focus in northern regions. Through community-led peacebuilding, our work has supported dialogue platforms, conflict monitoring systems, and regional peace centres, whilst addressing historical grievances and socio-economic inequalities. Furthermore, our programmes have enhanced the resilience of the youth and women, addressed the impacts of the climate crisis, and strengthened cross-border peace efforts. Working alongside communities, our initiatives have been implemented in partnership with actors such as the National Steering Committee, the National Cohesion and Integration Commission, the Frontier Counties Development Council, the North Rift Economic Bloc, the African Union (AU), and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD).
