Conflict Mitigation and Reconciliation
Capacity Building program with Local admininistration, NGO's, CBO's

Overview

This project will focus on building awareness of conflict management approaches at the community level and promoting indigenous and contemporary approaches to conflict resolution.

Community Mediation Councils will be established to strengthen community awareness of conflict prevention, mitigation, and resolution mechanisms. The Councils will also develop and enhance community members’ full and active participation in decision-making in affairs affecting peace in their communities.

Training workshop for Journalists and Community Leaders

This training is a collaboration between AWC and the Kenya Correspondents Association and will involve carrying out training workshops for journalists addressing conflict management issues.

The training will also focus on the communities through what we call Media encounters when the journalists and the communities attend workshops together with the aim of providing deeper understandings on the communities’ perspectives on certain issues for the media. Our program also provides significant strengthening to district and provincial government officials.

Capacity Building with Educators in schools on how to resolve conflict

Despite the fact that there are a number of on-going interventions aimed at addressing the post-election crisis as well as findining ways to address the Comprehensive constitutional review ,Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission, Independent Review Committee and Commission of Inquiry on Post-Election Violence to solve the current security situation, there are a number of gaps that exists within the post-election conflict that requires attention.

 

What's New

In the Shadow of Death

Shadow of Death

The book, In the Shadow of Death: My trauma, my experience is public testimony on what the majority women went though during  the post-election violence  that engulfed Kenya immediately after the Electoral Commission of Kenya announced the results for the hotly-contested presidential polls of the December 2007 General Election.

The crisis brought to the fore a number of factors that separate our society but for long have been ignored by successive post-independence governments: poverty, land, inequality, tribalism, among others.
