People to People Reconciliation Program

The USAID People to People Program supports peaceful coexistence between different ethnic groups (Samburu, Turkana, Borana, Gabrah, Pokot and Somalis) in Northern Kenya by promoting a culture of peace and non-violent conflict resolution among communities.  The activity is implemented by Northern Rangeland Trust (NRT) and engages community conservancies as the key drivers to support the Government of Kenya’s (GoK) peacebuilding efforts. 

The People-to-People program brings different ethnicities, religions, and political allegiances together to trusted, safe spaces for dialogue.  Through this dialogue and connection, division and prejudice can be reduced, mutual understanding and tolerance created, and positive relationships built.
