The International Water, Peace & Security Conference 2025 kicked off with powerful voices and bold ideas proving that water can unite where conflict divides. Catch the highlights here 👇
#WaterForPeaceLive@PNTVAfrica
We are excited to advance the #ClimateConflictGender nexus and how it links to integrated, #conflictsensitive, #peoplecentered land governance, at the High-Level Regional Conference on Customary Tenure Rights in Eastern Africa. Join us at Safari Park Hotel, Nairobi.
Day 1 of the #WaterPeaceSecurity learning & reflection workshop in Nairobi.
Technical county & national gov’t stakeholders, alongside CSOs from Marsabit & Turkana counties, took stock of interventions, shared lessons, & co-created ideas for stronger programming.

Ongoing training on #climate, #gender & #conflict in Wolaita Soddo, Ethiopia, with gov’t & CSO reps from South Omo Zone (Nyangatom & Dassanech Woredas). Participants are building skills to strengthen #conflictsensitive & #genderresponsive approaches to climate-induced conflict.
Last week, we had the honor of hosting our Executive Director, Nic Hailey, during his visit to Nairobi.
While in Nairobi, he met with several stakeholders, including CSO leaders, members of the Pastoralist Parliamentary Group, & representatives from various diplomatic missions.
The visit also provided space to exchange perspectives on #peace and #security in Kenya and the broader Horn of Africa, while reflecting on shared regional challenges such as #climate shocks, political transitions, and socio-political unrest.
Progress towards the #SDGs has stalled in conflict-affected places. This #FFD4 conference, governments, #developmentfinance institutions and investors can change this.
⬇️ How? Here are 5 actions to create wins for investment AND communities.

The workshop provided a critical space for the stakeholders to jointly reflect, build trust, and co-develop policy and security responses that are inclusive, conflict and gender-sensitive, and climate-aware.

This was part of a broader peacebuilding effort to address the drivers of conflict in the region, which is home to pastoralist communities that share deep cultural ties but also face recurring tensions over access to water, pasture, & L. Turkana amid climate stress.

We supported a 2-day cross-border policy dialogue in Kakuma-Turkana County, targeting key government officials & security teams from Kenya & Ethiopia to find a way forward on lasting solutions to the persistent conflicts affecting communities in the Turkana-South Omo borderlands.
