Invest in peace finance for prosperity in northern Kenya
Fishermen with their catch at Kalokol area of Lake Turkana in Turkana County on September 19, 2021. The fisheries sector, especially around Lake Turkana, offers considerable peace-positive investment potential, with necessary investments in cold chain facilities, fish landing sites and market outlets.
Kenya has a history of unequal investment and resource distribution, closely linked to cycles of violent conflict. This is particularly evident in the northern counties, which have faced protracted conflicts, underdevelopment, and political marginalisation.
Historical grievances, land and resource disputes, and ethnic politics are at the core of these conflicts, exacerbated by socio-economic disparities and competition for resources.
