DLCI uses the ‘People Centered Approach’ to finding the drylands solutions, securing the community land, strengthening governance institutions, development coordination and improving policy and practice in Kenya.

We support the marginalised communities to advocate for land rights, promote gender inclusivity, and conflict sensitivity and support a case for 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, protecting livelihoods and community heritage.
