Organizational Growth and Collaboration

In partnership with WFD, CPI Kenya achieved several key institutional milestones:

• Completed a Planning, Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (PMEL) Capacity Assessment to strengthen internal systems.

• Developed a new Strategic Plan (2026–2030) that sets the organization’s direction for the next five years.

• Benefited from close technical support by CPS advisors and WFD Kenya through debrief sessions, workshops, and strategic planning.

CPI Kenya currently operates with a team of five full-time staff, supported by peace ambassadors, teachers, and community mobilizers within the Pokot and Ilchamus communities.

While progress has been steady, the report also notes challenges such as isolated security threats during peace events. However, prompt cooperation between local elders and security agencies helped ensure participant safety and project continuity.

Key lessons include:

• Peace enables development — as calm returns, communities are focusing on farming, small trade, and education.

• Experiential peacebuilding works — using friendship, joint activities, and storytelling continues to change attitudes and foster empathy across generations.

Looking Ahead

In the second half of 2025, CPI Kenya plans to:

• Expand peace initiatives to new conflict corridors involving Pokot and Tugen communities.

• Strengthen monitoring and evaluation systems for data-driven impact tracking.

• Continue building community resilience through peace dialogues, youth engagement, and livelihood support.
