We have been working in Kenya since 2023, supporting youth-led networks and organisations to actively contribute to peacebuilding and conflict prevention in their communities. Youth marginalisation, strained state-citizen relations, violent extremism and resource-based conflicts have all threatened to undermine peace and stability in Kenya in recent years.
Peaceful Change initiative is working along the Swahili Coast, including in Kenya’s Kwale region, to support youth-led networks and organisations to actively practice and disseminate learning on peacebuilding and conflict prevention. We do this through working in collaboration with academics to produce and share knowledge, by providing training, and by offering ongoing support and advice to partner organisations.
