Beneficiaries
Situation
In Kenya, ethnic minorities and indigenous peoples are facing extreme poverty, non respect of their most basic human rights and lack of access to justice to challenge the non-respect of these rights as well as lack of participation to the political and decision-making processes affecting their lives. Local and national government constantly fail to engage with these communities. As a direct result of a lack of capacity and confidence, these groups are unable to hold their government accountable.
Solution
This project will tackle the exclusion of minority and indigenous peoples from the political and governance arena, which is a root cause of their poverty, the discrimination they suffer as well as the turmoil failed by the country.
