Peace and conflict resolution
Indigenous-Led Peace in Turkana.
In Turkana, peace is both fragile and vital. Communities regularly face conflict triggered by resource scarcity, cattle raids, political tensions, and cross-border insecurity.
These conflicts disrupt lives, hinder development, and threaten Indigenous traditions of coexistence. At TIPD Kenya, we believe that sustainable peace must be community-driven, inclusive, and culturally rooted.
We work across borders, clans, and generations to build systems of trust, dialogue, and early response that prevent violence and foster long-term harmony. What we do Community Dialogue & Mediation –
We facilitate forums where elders, women, youth, and local leaders resolve disputes through traditional and modern methods of peacebuilding. Cross-Border Peace Initiatives –
We coordinate peace caravans and cultural exchanges with communities in South Sudan, Uganda, and Ethiopia to promote regional stability. Youth Peace Ambassadors –
We train and support young people to serve as peacebuilders in their communities, using digital tools, art, and civic education. Early Warning & Response Systems –
We strengthen community-led conflict monitoring and connect them with county security teams to act before violence escalates. Women in Peacebuilding –
We empower women — often overlooked in traditional peace processes — to take active roles in negotiation, advocacy, and trauma healing.

Why it matters.
Lasting peace is the foundation for development. Without it:
Livelihoods Are Lost – Families lose their means of survival as traditional sources of income become unsustainable due to climate impacts.
Children Miss Education – School attendance drops as children are forced to work, migrate, or face disrupted learning environments.
Communities Flee Their Homes – Climate-related disasters and resource scarcity force people to abandon ancestral lands in search of safety and stability.
Fear Replaces Hope – Uncertainty and repeated crises lead to anxiety, despair, and loss of optimism about the future.
