BEYOND THE ORGANIC PEACEBUILDING MODEL:

More about the book

Focusing on civil society's role in peacebuilding, this study analyzes its effectiveness in Nakuru County, Kenya, particularly in the context of recurrent electoral violence. It emphasizes the importance of understanding conflict causes and the challenges faced by civil society groups. Despite their involvement in service delivery and advocacy, the study argues that these organizations have been largely ineffective due to misalignment with critical phases of the conflict cycle. The research advocates for stronger collaboration between state mechanisms and civil society to enhance peacebuilding efforts.
