Kwale County

Kwale County comprises of 4 sub-counties namely, Matuga, Msambweni, Kinango and Lunga Lunga. Some of the key peace and cohesion challenges in Kwale are, border dispute with Taita Taveta County radicalization and violent extremism among the youth and land related conflicts that gave rise to secessionist movements. Kwale County Schools Peace Clubs Association was founded in the year 2014 following a capacity building workshop by the Commission. The association was established to bring on board all schools with Amani clubs in order to coordinate peace and cohesion activities. In order to achieve this, the Kwale County Schools Peace Clubs Association (KCSPCA) carries out quarterly events which bring together students and teachers from all member schools. Kwale County has contributed significantly towards peace and cohesion through Amani clubs.

 

Amani Clubs Activities

 Capacity Building Workshop- A capacity building workshop on establishment of Amani clubs was conducted in March 2015 in Kwale. The two day workshop brought together teachers who are partons of Amani clubs and other education stakeholders with an aim of training teachers to enable them establish Amani clubs in their respective institutions. This training laid a foundation for the club’s establishment in all our learning institutions of all levels.

Peace Caravan- The Kwale County Schools Peace Clubs Association has been conducting  Peace Caravans in the County. One such caravan was the Kwale Peace Torch.
