"Pro-Peace Kenya." - Learning & Networking
The training room fills with folders, name tags, and the low murmur of people who know elections can bless or bruise a country. Collince joined colleagues from across Kenya for sessions on leadership and conflict management for electoral stakeholders — work hosted by the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) with the European Union, implemented with partners including the European Centre for Electoral Support (ECES).
Across the tables sat representatives from political parties, civil society, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP), the Political Parties Liaison Committee (PPLC), the Commission on Administrative Justice (CAJ), ELGIA, ELOG, and more — different uniforms, same worry about how Kenya argues with itself when power is on the line.
Peace is prepared, not wished for
The aim is practical: promote cohesion, open political dialogue, and prevent election-related violence as Kenya moves through another cycle. Other goals sit close — deeper understanding between communities, fewer flare-ups in markets and on timelines, less hate speech dressed up as truth.
Training does not replace hard work back home; it equips people to carry calmer tools into heated rooms. For ETCO, showing up in spaces that shape how Kenya disagrees is part of loving our neighbourhood well. If you are organising community forums or youth dialogues in Kibera, talk to us — we are stronger when local voices plan together.

From Participation to Agency: ETCO at the SAIIA Youth Programming Innovation Lab
Last week, ETCO represented Kibra at the SAIIA Youth Programming Innovation Lab in Nairobi — where the real question wasn't youth participation, but youth agency. Here's what that means for our nine programmes, and an honest look at what it takes to build sustainably as a volunteer-run organisation.
