OUR FOCUS

SORALO’s Governance work focuses on strengthening communal decision-making processes to ensure that communities within the South Rift landscape secure rights to land. This is critical because the future of these pastoral communities is primarily dependent on functional governance systems for shared resources to be managed sustainably.

We work with communities through their existing leadership structures, creating platforms for dialogue and supporting informed decision‑making through training and capacity building. Our role is purely facilitative we do not make decisions for communities but support them to lead and own their processes.

Our key activities include training communities on relevant laws, supporting participatory land use planning, and helping establish conservancies. We also build community capacity through exposure visits and peer learning and support the development of governance tools such as constitutions and by-laws. In addition, we assist communities to gain legal recognition and register governance structures, including community lands, associations, and conservancies.
