Youth Building Bridges for Peace in Kibera (YOBBPEK) Poverty in Kibera  is one of the  major impediments to peace building & conflict transformation as more than ¾ of the residents live on less than $1 a day. Women , especially female headed households, unemployed youth, children mainly OVCs and  HIV infected persons  are  the  most  affected. Since the  after  math  of  2007 post election violence marred by distraction of  property and  many  forms  of  livelihoods , the youth most  of  whom are unemployed,  have  resulted to engage themselves in  violence and related ills. Women’s role as peace keepers was also a gap identified in the fast phase. 
Youth Building Bridges for Peace in Kibera (YOBBPEK) programme is an initiative of Kenya Youth Foundation and Kibera Community Youth Programme launched in 2007 with the financial support of CAFOD.  The goal of the project was to entrench inclusive community based approach in healing, reconciliation, peace building and conflict transformation in Kibera slums using grass root strategies such as music extravaganza, participatory theatre, peace clubs, village forums for peace and conflict transformation; and action research which plays an important role in community development as it helps in identifying gaps/hindrances to meeting community needs.  CAFOD’s  in-depth organizational review whose recommendations were to the effect that KYF internally rebuild institutional systems. This project is purely formulated as an exit strategy which will cover  Jan 2014- Dec 2014  £ 15,000.
The Project is premised on the following specific objectives:
1. Sustaining Village Peace & Governance Dialogue Structures in Kibera towards enhancing & amplifying the role & voices of women & youth in Kibera.  This will consolidate the gains made in the previous period in establishment of village structures that have been instrumental in peace building.  More groups are to be formed on voluntary basis so to take over the work of KYF at the end of the project.
2. Enhance community based innovative action research, training, documentation and dissemination of stories of change/case studies on peace building & conflict transformation, governance & poverty reduction in Kibera : As this an exit, KYF purpose to involve communities in research and documentation of best practices, significant positive changes and conflict dynamics that will inform subsequent engagement beyond the project period.
3. Strengthen fundraising & institutional capacity of implementing organization:  The project will enhance organizational development of KYF on areas of strategic planning, development of HR and Finance manual, ICT systems and staff capacity building.
4. Strengthen and Expand Effective Networks on Peace Building, Conflict Transformation, Governance & Community development. As a strategy for pooling synergies, KYF will still reach out to like-minded organizations as it has previous done.

Integrated Community Development programme (ICDP) Integrated Community Development Programme (ICDP) is an initiative of the Diocese of Marsabit resulting from consultative programme development processes that the Diocese engaged in during the last half of the year 2007. The programme focuses on justice and peace and sustainable livelihoods issues within the diocese. 

This is  a second cycle grant for  ICDP that is based on the recognition of the increasing intensity and frequency of drought and conflict in Northern Kenya. Reduced recovery periods between droughts and increased conflict that are breaking down existing coping strategies and increasing vulnerable households’ need to depend on external interventions.   Assessments conducted in affected areas in the last few months of 2010, revealed that pastoral communities have been particularly badly affected by repeated cycles of conflict and drought. The regular loss of livestock, inadequate recovery periods, poor governance, shortage of pasture and water have undermined traditional coping mechanisms and increased conflict over natural resources. Repeated humanitarian interventions have done little to strengthen affected communities’ capacity to cope with drought. An external evaluation was done for the ICDP in October 2010 with  recommendations  that  indentified gaps during the evaluation also formed the basis of this project.
ABG: Realising the Faith Potential The goal of the project is to improve governance in Kenya by strengthening institutions responsible for it through the following  three main components;  Strengthen evidence based  research and documentation with special emphasis on two main areas namely, objective policy  analysis and evidence based research to enable  policy making; second,  advocacy and lobbing,  to promote good governance including the passing of  legislations, setting up of appropriate institutions, strengthen existing structures of governance to deal with anti-good governance tendencies; and third, to increase citizens awareness on how to hold their government accountable and transparent  through capacity building.
Kenya Bishops' media advocacy initiative This project is geared towards enabling church leadership through the Bishops to engage in advocacy through civic education and mobilisation of citizens as well as encouraging non-violent participation of Kenyan citizens in devolved governance, local resource distribution and campaigns towards sustained service delivery. Through the project there will be sustained monitoring and surveillance of the actions of leaders. This engagement will be done through published bimonthly articles in the newspapers followed by conversations in other media outlets on governance issues led by the Bishops.
River Power Pod Africa Project The River Power Pod (RPP) provides an accessible, sustainable means to produce electricity or pump water where most alternatives cannot.  RPP is a patented in-stream hydro-turbine, drawing energy from flowing water without damming, diverting or altering the natural flow of the river.  Ideally suited as a remote power solution, it is transportable, scalable and can be rapidly deployed and/or relocated. RPPs are easy to install and maintain using widely available materials and methods. Our technology and training can empower local teams of all ages and backgrounds, enabling them to manufacture, install and maintain turbines for their communities – transforming living conditions, creating employment and generating income.
This project will help to build a sustainable solution based on a small team of local young women and men trained to make, install and maintain RPPs. The team will be able to make and maintain the turbines as part of their sustainable enterprise. Supported by the local expertise, skills and track record of CAFOD and the Salesians, this enterprise will be locally owned and managed, using initial contributions of training, skills and financial support to help transform communities and schools.
Strengthening citizen participation in devolved governance for peace and sustainable development This two-year project aims to improve the income-generation opportunities for youth and women, and to enhance community peace-building and cohesion in the face of tribalised politics, historical border and resource-based conflicts, in the counties of Kisumu, Kericho, Vihiga and Nandi. 

Building on an earlier project, Uhai lake Forum (ULF) will:
- Train 3 youth and 3 women’s groups on income-generating activities, as well as entrepreneurship and marketing skills;
- Form and train 7 community education and leadership teams (CELTs) in community policing activities, as well as peacekeeping initiatives such as inter-ethnic sporting contests and leadership and peacebuilding activities in local schools;
- Provide capacity strengthening to the 7 CELTs in the form of training on county governance, constitution, public finance management, public expenditure monitoring, social accountability approaches (social auditing), advocacy and documentation; all with a view to undertaking a social audit process in order to engage with the county governments.
MULTISECTORAL NEEDS ASSESSMENT FOR KENYA CAFOD Kenya and Uganda Programme launched a new programme strategy in 2023. The 2023-2030 KU strategy aspires, alongside our partners, to contribute towards resilient communities where people, particularly women, girls, and other marginalized people, thrive in a peaceful, well-governed, and healthy, supportive natural environment. Kenya-Uganda programme strategy seeks to address four key drivers of social and environmental vulnerability in fragile environments in the northern regions of Kenya and Uganda: environmental degradation, climate shocks, poor governance, and conflict.
To actualize these aspirations, the overall objective of the Needs Assessment is to assess the current situation, identify the gaps and needs of the targeted communities and recommend key interventions that meet the real needs of the targeted communities in Marsabit, Isiolo, and Samburu County and at national level for policy and advocacy across the sectors below in line with the new programme strategy. The following thematic areas among others will be addressed; Food and nutrition security, Resilience building and Livelihoods, WASH, Natural resource management, Women's Economic Empowerment, Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation, Peacebuilding and good governance, Capacity Strengthening;

The findings of the needs assessment will inform the development of CAFOD and institutional-funded Programmes. By identifying and analyzing the needs across different sectors, CAFOD and Partners will develop a better understanding of the sectors that require more focus. By considering multiple sectors together, a more holistic and integrated approach and or develop specific projects, will be adopted to meet the needs of communities and populations effectively and ensure these are aligned to programme strategy.
Isiolo Integrated Food Security Project The aim of this multi-sector project is to enhance the food security of marginalised communities in Isiolo district, Isiolo county. It will achieve this by:

•	increasing household food production through: seed provision; planting fruit trees;  training in crop production methods, animal husbandry, and savings and lending schemes;
•	improving disaster resilience through: DRR training and the formation of DRR committees; provision of energy saving jikos; conservation awareness raising; climate change advocacy; 
•	improving water access and sanitation through: rehabilitation of the water intake; provision of latrines and washing facilities in schools and homes; hygiene and sanitation training of the community and community health workers;
•	parental training and support to improve child nutrition and health;
•	inter-ethnic peace-building activities at school and community levels; 
•	staff capacity strengthening and training.
Sports and Media as a Tool for Integration and Transformation for Youth & Women  in Nairobi Slums St.  John's Sports  society's initiatives are geared  towards  an integral human development through  sports and advocacy with  local  community  in the slum. The society has intergrated both sports society project KEN575  and KEN561 activities  in this  one  project. 
St. John Sports Society is an initiative of St. John's Christian Community which has served communities in Korogocho beyond the spiritual needs over the last 20 years. Korogocho is a low-income, informal settlement with around 100,000 people located in the Kasarani Constituency of East Nairobi and is divided into nine villages inhabited by people from across all Kenyan communities, with most of them living below the poverty line.  

Founded in 2002, the Network looks at the problems affecting the people in the slums, with the eyes of the Gospel. Kutoka Network  aim is to analyse the reality of the slums, to share experiences, to reflect together on the pastoral approach, to plan common initiatives and actions and to highlight positive aspects of the slum realities. Most of  the ctions lobby the government and other stakeholders to find together with the slums dwellers the solutions to the problems affecting our communities. 

The St. John Sports Society, Korogocho (SSS)'s goal is to promote an integral human development with a focus to developing the sporting potential among the youth and women thereby helping them access opportunities beyond Korogocho.  Its main focus is on human formation and community work. Through SSS's formation programmes the members develop certain acceptable ethical and societal norms, and qualities which help them integrate with the whole society without difficulties. Values such as teamwork, tolerance, forgiveness and reconciliation, self-esteem and self-discipline, morality, commitment and hard work, zero tolerance to corruption and discrimination of any form are encouraged and developed during the formation programmes. 

The SSS operates on lessons learnt in working in the slums of Korogocho include, that sports has a potential to rehabilitate youths in a slum setting making them reformed and more productive members of the society; and that the slums have tremendously talented sports men and women who only lack exposure  and support.

This is a three year project focused on improving human rights situation  in Korogocho
START Kenya Interagency project At the beginning of the drought crisis in late 2016, individual agencies attempted to seek for START funds in order to respond to the drought.  Discussions by INGOs in the START network, revealed that the scale of the crisis was much bigger that what the START funds could handle. The INGOs working in the ASAL areas thereafter came together in a meeting on 4thJanuary 2017 to form a joint humanitarian response effort to collect data and information with a view to developing joint interventions.  This was followed by Country Directors’ meeting which approved the same. Consequently a technical team meeting in which 10 INGOs were represented drafted a format for data collection. With support from the draw down funds, information analysis and prioritization of needs and geographical location will be carried between these second half of January. The draw down request will be used to support collaborative data and information collection and analysis, scenario building and development of a joint response plan as well as collection and publication of media stories.
Humanitarian Contribution to RPM 2014 This a contribution from the humanitarian budget towards the Regional partner meeting 2014 which brings together Kenya and Uganda partners in a forum that focuses on experience sharing and learning from activities of the past one year with a view to strengthening programmes and the partnerships in the coming year.
CAFOD supporting Drought Emergency Response & recovery in Marsabit & Isiolo 2017 After the devastating drought of 2016/17 and the emergency response in Isiolo & Marsabit, the communities are still vulnerable and there is need for continuous support to make sure that they recover and their resilience is strengthened to enable them cope with future droughts.   The prolonged drought in the region resulted in water & pasture shortages, food insecurity situation and worsening health & nutrition status of vulnerable people.  
CAFOD Nairobi Office through  DEC and CAFOD appeal funding supported Isiolo & Marsabit in Phase 1 of this project.  This is phase 2 of the same project where CAFOD will support the same partners for a period of 12months. In this phase CAFOD will support partners through facilitation of grant start-up project, carry out a research comparing 2011 and 2017 responses, documenting lessons learnt, timeliness, perceptions and perspectives on how stakeholders responded, facilitate half yearly review and planning meetings (peer review, process review and identify milestones).

Goat milk value chain in Samburu central sub-county, Samburu county, Kenya. The county government of Samburu and other development partners including Caritas Maralal have been putting efforts to support women and youth improve milk production and fight poverty through support ranging from goat provision (local and improved breeds) and capacity building initiatives like trainings. However, there still is a huge gap in joint collaboration from stakeholders in strengthening the goat milk value chain. In a recent market system analysis on goat milk value chain carried out by CAFOD through Fair and sustainable consulting, there exists a large gap between goat milk production and demand mainly because production is at subsistence level rather than commercial.
Goat farming in Samburu County is mostly carried out by women and youth to provide alternative income for household consumption and other expenditures. Dairy goats can bear offspring twice an year, with one goat producing at least 1 litre of milk per day. As per the analysis carried out by CAFOD through Fair and Sustainable Consulting, Samburu central has a ready market for milk and the demand is currently higher than production. There is a conducive environment for production and favourable climatic condition to support goat farming and goat milk production and their feeds. 
This project proposes a number of activities to address issues hindering expansion and commercialization of goat milk among indigenous pastoralist women and youth. The issues to be addressed include lack of coordination among key actors in the goat milk value chain, low production of milk from both local and dairy goats, a lack of linkage among goat farmers themselves and a lack of strong policy environment to support the value chain.
The target location for this project is Samburu central with the main target being youth and women. The project will reach estimated 3340 farmers(2380f,960m)
