Resume
Kenya has in recent years experienced violence around elections and inter-communal violence in its border regions. As causes and drivers of conflict are not properly addressed, risks remain that Kenya will see more violent conflict. Together, Conducive Space for Peace and three Kenyan CSOs have developed a one-year engagement with the aim of contributing to a more secure, peaceful and cohesive society in Kenya by reducing political violence before, during and after elections and strengthening peaceful co-existence and community resilience to violence. This will be achieved by building the capacity of political parties in conflict transformation and dialogue, developing community structures to manage political violence, and by facilitating inter-ethnic and inter-religious dialogue and youth empowerment. CSP will work with the partners to build their capacity in a way that meets their needs, facilitate learning, and will co-create a conducive space to explore avenues for joint action.
