The objective of this consultancy was to undertake an in depth review of existing
peace building and conflict mitigation activities undertaken by different actors in
the bordering districts of Borana zone and Northern Kenya to: (1) consolidate
existing approaches and best practices in peace building and conflict mitigation
across Ethio-Kenya boarder; (2) pinpoint challenges and gaps for policy
interventions at regional level; and, (3) propose work plan to scale up best
practices in future interventions. To this effect, CIFA and CARE Ethiopia through
their Enhanced Livelihood in Southern Ethiopia (ELSE) project commissioned
Integrated Agriculture Development Consult (IADC) to conduct this assessment on
cross-border conflict with particular emphasis on the ethnic conflict in Miyo and
Moyale Woredas of Ethiopia and Moyale, Marsabit and Sololo districts in Kenya.
