Resilience, Peace & Stability (RPS) Program

From 24th to 26th November 2025, Pamoja for Transformation (P4T), in partnership with Act! and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark in Kenya, joined 13 implementing partners at the End of Program Learning Event held at Maanzoni Lodge, Machakos County. The gathering marked the successful conclusion of Phase I of the Resilience, Peace and Stability (RPS) program — a milestone five-year journey (2021–2025) that transformed conflict landscapes and strengthened community resilience across Kenya.

Impact in Kisumu County

As a strategic RPS partner, P4T led implementation in Kisumu County, where targeted interventions delivered measurable outcomes, including:

1.      Resolution of the long-standing Sondu border conflict between Kisumu and Kericho Counties — a historic breakthrough achieved through sustained dialogue, community engagement, and multi-stakeholder collaboration.

2.      Strengthened synergy with key institutions including the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC), security agencies, and the Kisumu County Government.

3.      Validation through evidence: An independent endline evaluation by Consilient confirmed the program’s relevance, effectiveness, and sustained positive perception among communities.

“Peace is not the absence of conflict — it is the presence of justice, collaboration, and shared vision. In Kisumu, we turned dialogue into durable solutions.”— P4T Program Team

Looking Ahead: RPS Phase II

The next phase of RPS is set to deepen its transformative reach, with anticipated thematic priorities including:

1.      Youth, Climate, Peace & Security — positioning young people as stewards of environmental and social resilience.

2.      Mental Health & Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) in peacebuilding — integrating trauma-informed approaches to healing and reconciliation.

3.      Participatory Educational Theatre — harnessing creativity and storytelling to shift narratives and foster empathy.

4.      Organizational Sustainability — empowering local partners with tools, systems, and resources for long-term impact.

P4T remains committed to co-creating peaceful, resilient, and inclusive communities — grounded in evidence, driven by partnership, and inspired by hope.
