Climate Resilience Program This program aims at building a climate resilient phenomenon as well as foster mitigation through community and national capacity development of climate actions to deal with the impacts of climate change. Our Approach The program is premised on an integrated approach that promotes sustainable agriculture, circular economy in developing capacities of women and youth led SME’s but also invest in technological innovations that contribute to climate resilience. The program operates at the nexus between policy and action for resilience building and innovation within the green and blue economy value chains. Further, the program focuses on renewable energy sub-sector in order to foster economic growth, enhance access, affordability, availability towards food security and job opportunities while conserving the natural ecosystem. The program acknowledges that depletion of the natural ecosystem and the climatic changes not only affect the human livelihoods, but also breeds conflicts arising from unsustainable utilization of the environment and its attendant resources. Thus, scarcity of natural resources, worsens environmental conditions and increases livelihood threats by causing stiffer competition over land, pasture, water, fish, minerals and forest resources.

Skills and Enterprise Development The program's primary goal is to enhance the economic productivity of disadvantaged women and youth-led micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) through various interventions. These interventions include skills development, wealth creation, and promoting resilience and adaptation. To achieve this, the program provides a comprehensive range of support to disadvantaged women and youth. This support includes technical skills training, soft skills development, entrepreneurship knowledge, and assistance with market and financial linkages. By equipping them with these capacities, the program aims to enhance their ability to generate income, create employment opportunities, and support sustainable livelihoods. By focusing on economic independence and interdependence, the program aims to create a sustainable ecosystem that promotes market and financial access for participants. This, in turn, reduces their economic vulnerability and enhances their responsiveness and resilience at both individual and societal levels. Overall, the program seeks to empower disadvantaged women and youth by providing them with the necessary skills, knowledge, and resources to improve their economic productivity. Through the creation of income-generating opportunities, employment, and sustainable livelihoods, the program aims to contribute to their economic independence, reduce vulnerability, and enhance their overall well-being. Our Approach The program is anchored on the SME LOOP Business Training and Coaching model which is designed to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in increasing and sustaining employment and income generation. The model takes a systematic approach by targeting various value chains and implementing a customized cyclical capacity building process. The program combines coaching cycles with credit facilities, which are guaranteed through a toolkit. This allows SMEs to access financial resources for their business operations. Additionally, the model focuses on facilitating linkages to market opportunities, enabling SMEs to reach potential customers and expand their business networks. The program also emphasizes the importance of exchange and learning platforms for knowledge growth and peer support. SMEs can participate in workshops, seminars, and networking events, where they can share experiences, learn from industry experts, and collaborate with their peers. In addition to business training and coaching, the program delivers technical and vocational skills that are relevant to the job market. These skills aim to equip individuals with the necessary capabilities to either become valuable employees or start their own businesses. The program also includes trade tests or assessments to validate the skills acquired by participants.

Peace and Governance This program aims to contribute to the existence and operationalization of governance framework and practices that safeguard justice, equity, the rule of law, inclusivity, cohesion, and civic participation. Through the program, we engage in policy influencing and facilitate improved civic engagements and access to justice. This program acts as the fulcrum and equilibrium that provides the impetus and Lense for supporting the development and implementation of the climate change and SED programs. The program is premised on the philosophy that; all development needs are conflict context, therefore conscious integration of peace and development through climate change and SED programming is critical. Interventions are entrenched within the governance structure at the community county and national levels since our interventions compliment and support the Government development agenda. Our Approach The program adopts an integrated, interactive approach to conflict transformation by providing tools and resources through accountable service delivery, capacity building, research, civic engagement, policy advocacy, dialogue and mediation. The interventions are pitched at both the demand and supply side of the peace and governance infrastructure. The program applies multifaceted approaches in partnership building and collaboration at both vertical and horizontal levels, by engaging stakeholders in the peace and governance sectors including national and county governments, communities and development partners to support mechanisms of preventing conflicts and creating suitable conditions for economic, social and political advancement in Kenya societies Our Impact Projects Marking Progress, Growing the Future: P4T Concludes Phase One of Land Access Initiative and Launches Next Chapter Read More Agri-Jobs 4 Youth Initiative: Land Access for Youth and Women in Western Kenya Read More Empowering Women and Youth-Led Climate-Smart Enterprises in Kisumu County Read More Enhancing Youth and Women Access to Land for Sustainable Economic Development in Western Kenya Read More Outcome Harvesting for the Enhancing Good Governance in Kisumu and Bungoma Counties Read More Empowering Youth and Women Through Land Access: Intergenerational Dialogues in Western Kenya Read More Bungoma and Kisumu Youth Advocacy Champions Drive Dialogue for Improved Public Sanitation and Security Read More Civil Peace Service (CPS) : P4T Empower Kisumu Youth to Drive Accountability and Improve Service Delivery Read More Celebrating Peace in Action: IDP 2025 Commemorations Unite Kisumu and Nairobi in Shared Vision for National Cohesion Read More CPS: Youth-Led Change: Empowering Communities through Nonviolent Advocacy Read More Civil Peace Service (CPS) : Bungoma County Advances Peace Policy Development Through Multi-Stakeholder Forum Read More Building Socio-Economic Resilience among Youth for Sustainable Peace and Cohesion Read More

< Back Resilience, Peace & Stability (RPS) Program Location Location 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. 🔗 Stay tuned for updates on our continued work in conflict transformation, youth engagement, and systems-strengthening across Western Kenya.

This will give me an upper hand to become an examiner for technical training. I am also encouraged to finish my degree. I now have the confidence and am determined to resume my fourth-year studies with the small savings from freelancing and a token of appreciation from the YMCA.” Pamela Adhiambo Get Involved Be the first to know about our projects or programs Email SUBSCRIBE Thanks for subscribing!

Pamoja for Transformation empowers youth, women and men to solve problems in their communities related to violence, security and poverty. We help transform institutions and communities to move from crisis and poverty to peace and prosperity across Kenya. Measuring Results A Learning Organization As a learning organization, Pamoja is keen to find out precisely what impact its projects have. This enables Pamoja to learn from success and failure, plan future projects better and show accountability to the communities it serves as well as to partners and donors. Pamoja learns from its daily work in different ways, for instance by regular review and reflection forums to assess what went well and what could be done better. Over the past years, Pamoja has built a monitoring and results measurement (MRM) system into all its projects. This system measures qualitative and quantitative indicators, covering outputs, outcomes, impact, partners and efficiency. Pamoja received technical support and advise to develop a MRM framework from external MRM advisors. Pamoja has worked towards aligning its MRM framework to global good-practice standards , such as the Donor Committee on Enterprise Development (DCED) Standards. Choosing meaningful indicators Due to the complexity and multi-faceted nature of our operating environment of conflict and development needs, we use a dynamic and flexible framework for capturing results. We use a Mixed-Method Approa ch to monitor and evaluate peace and development programming, collecting and analysing quantitative and qualitative information and data. To this end, we select meaningful indicators and analyse numerical data, but also social impact and the “human element”, such as changes in knowledge, behavior and attitude . We also record how our programs have removed barriers to enable a shift in behaviour to take place. Our result frameworks are continuously improved and fine-tuned to adapt to the changing dynamics. Data collection tools we use include surveys, observations, focus groups, in-depth interviews, case studies, videos and audios and story-telling. To ensure lasting gains we continuously develop the capacity to build our learning systems. Once an evaluation has been completed, we use the findings to improve the assessed project and future activities. Whenever appropriate, the findings are disseminated among partner organizations and relevant actors so as to contribute to the policy development thinking and best practice design.
