Resumen
Descripción
This report analyzes the conflict
resolution mechanisms among pastoralist societies in
northern Kenya who have a long history of conflict but were
by and large not involved in recent hostilities. It is based
on qualitative research data that was collected during field
visits between July and November 2007 in three arid lands
districts in Northern Kenya - Isiolo, Baringo/East Pokot and
Garissa. Research areas were selected to gain insight into
conflict and legal dynamics among a variety of ethnic groups
and in differing ecological and political environments.
Research tools mainly consisted of semi-structured
interviews, focus group discussions and participant
observation. New research tools, such as legal aid days,
were piloted during the study. About 80 interviews were
conducted with a broad range of individuals, ranging from
formal authorities to peace committee members, NGOs, CSOs,
informal authorities, women groups, youth groups and others.
