What We Do

DLCI uses the ‘People-Centred Approach’ to finding drylands solutions, securing community land, strengthening governance institutions, developing coordination, and improving policy and practice in Kenya. We are on a mission to empower drylands communities and see them at the centre of all development interventions, as these directly impact their lives and livelihoods.

We support the marginalised communities to advocate for land rights, promote gender inclusivity, and conflict sensitivity, and support a case for the correction of environmental justice in the context of drylands. We amplify the voices of the drylands communities who greatly suffer the most but contribute the very least to global climate injustice. We facilitate communities to be at the centre of the global climate dialogue to influence actions that make them resilient communities, constantly adapting to climate change, improving their lives, and protecting livelihoods and community heritage.
