🌍 Exciting news from the SPREAD Project!
The Cross-Border Conflict Observatory Platform has officially been launched after a successful three-day workshop in Lokichogio Sub-County and Lokitaung, Turkana North Sub-County, under the EU Borderlands SPREAD project. Co-funded by the European Union in Kenya and the Embassy of Denmark in Kenya and Somalia. This initiative aims to strengthen early warning and response systems along the Kenya–South Sudan border.

The workshop brought together key stakeholders from national and county governments, civil society organizations, and local communities, empowering them to better monitor and address conflict triggers such as grazing land disputes and water resource competition. This platform will play a vital role in promoting peace and resilience in the region. 🌱
