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 training was designed to equip governance advocates with practical knowledge and skills to drive citizen-led accountability, peaceful advocacy, and structured engagement with duty bearers at the county and sub-county levels. Training Focus Areas Over the course of the week, participants engaged in interactive sessions covering: Governance and Citizen Participation – Understanding structures, rights, and mechanisms for civic engagement Community Mobilization – Strategies for rallying citizens around shared priorities Conflict Analysis – Tools for identifying, understanding, and addressing community tensions Issue-Based Politics – Shifting advocacy from personality-driven to policy-driven engagement Non-Violent Advocacy – Principles, tactics, and best practices for peaceful civic action Coalition Building – Strengthening collective voice through strategic partnerships Citizen Manifesto Development – Laying the foundation for a community-driven Siaya County Citizen Manifesto Key Outcomes The training yielded significant and measurable outcomes: Increased Knowledge & Skills: Participants demonstrated enhanced understanding and practical competence in non-violent advocacy, governance accountability, and community mobilization. Initiation of the Citizen Manifesto: Participants began the process of developing a Siaya County Citizen Manifesto — a community-owned document that will articulate citizen priorities and serve as a reference framework for engagements with duty bearers and stakeholders. Enhanced Commitment to Evidence-Based Advocacy: Participants expressed a strengthened resolve to engage duty bearers using data, research, and structured advocacy approaches. Action Plans Developed: Each participant developed an individual workplan, while collaborative constituency/sub-county action plans were created to guide the implementation of advocacy initiatives, duty bearer engagements, and community priority identification processes. Looking Ahead The NVCT training marks a foundational milestone in the VOICE – Ajenda Yetu project's mission to strengthen citizen participation and accountability in Siaya County.

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.

Capacity Building for MSMEs Within Mariculture Value Chains at the Kenyan Coast The overall goal of the project was to contribute to coastal economic development in an inclusive, integrated, participatory, and sustainable manner to strengthen sustainable blue economy value chains through skill development and matching. The project attached a lot of focus on milkfish, prawn, and mud crab farming as key opportunities and targeted 5 counties, Kwale, Mombasa, Kilifi, Tana River, and Lamu. This was envisaged to influence improved income and employment of women and youth and equally gravitate the coastal target group to embrace mariculture practices that effectively respond to and address sustainable climate resilience. The project was premised on the partnership of the EU and Government of Kenya (GoK) to advance the blue economy agenda through coastal development commonly known as “Go Blue” and Germany through GIZ is one of the implementing partners. The project was implemented in collaboration with the County Government Fisheries Department, CBOs, and BMUs, as well as other partnering organizations in order to encourage commercially viable fish farming practices and to promote the benefits of responsible Mari culture. The approach used integrated public and private sector investments in the Mari culture value chain with community-wide initiatives that promote employment creation, improved livelihood, increased income and food security. The project designed need-based trainings tailored to the specific needs among different target groups with an aim of enhancing smallholder commercial fish farmers with Mari culture knowledge and technical and business/financial literacy skills to help sustainably manage, grow the sector and make it more inclusive.

< Back Building Socio-Economic Resilience among Youth for Sustainable Peace and Cohesion Location Location Peace and Governance The project plays a crucial role in supporting the reform process of at-risk youth by providing them with alternative livelihood options. This program acts as a pull factor, attracting and empowering youth to pursue positive change and sustainable livelihoods. It offers peer mentorship opportunities, where reformed individuals become independent and self-sufficient in meeting their needs. These reformed individuals serve as champions for change, inspiring and motivating other struggling youth to break free from violence and negative influences. Furthermore, the project facilitates the identification of socio-economic needs among the youth and establish direct linkages with other stakeholders, including national and county governments. This collaboration with various actors enhances the socio-economic transformation process for the youth, offering them greater opportunities for growth and development and create an enabling environment that facilitates the socio-economic transformation of the youth, leading to long-lasting change and empowerment within their communities.
