Empowering Communities, Driving Positive Change

Vision

A prosperous society that enjoys Human Rights, Good Governance, Peace and Security.

Mission

To empower Citizens, State and Non-State actors to inculcate a Culture of Human Rights, Good Governance, Peace and Security in Kenya.

Our Approach

We Address challenges like Peace and Security, Governance, and Human Rights requires collaboration. MIDRIFT HURINET adopts a Multi-Sectoral Approach (MSA) to unite stakeholders in creating shared strategies, tools, and action plans.

MSA fosters resource-sharing and holistic solutions while promoting Human Rights, Accountability, Inclusion, and Dialogue. By working closely with communities, MIDRIFT HURINET strengthens resilience, trust, and local ownership. Over the past 10 years, it has empowered state actors, enhanced accountability, and supported participatory governance to prevent conflict and promote social cohesion. This people-centered approach builds trust and legitimacy, addressing perceptions of exclusion and marginalization.

Thematic Areas

Peace and Security

We acknowledge Kenya’s ongoing peace and security challenges, including political violence, ethnic tensions, and land disputes in various regions. Resource conflicts, illicit arms, organized crime, and Gender-Based Violence further destabilize communities. Rising radicalization and terrorism threats continue to spread, making national cohesion and stability critical priorities.

Governance and Human Rights

We recognize Kenya’s progress in governance, rule of law, and human rights since the 2010 Constitution but acknowledge ongoing challenges like corruption, inequality, and ethnic divisions. Leveraging Article 10, we co-create programs with communities and stakeholders to promote democracy, accountability, human rights, and inclusivity.

Institutional Strengthening and Support

We empower citizens, state, and non-state actors to promote Human Rights, Good Governance, Peace, and Security. Through partnerships, we strengthen communities, CBOs, NGOs, and government agencies by equipping them with the right mindsets, skillsets, and toolsets to drive positive change.
