Our Difference

CEMIRIDE has a definite edge as it is the only civil society organisation (CSO) specifically focused on MIPs at the national level in Kenya.

To this end, CEMIRIDE has over the last seventeen years focused on advocacy for the recognition of minorities and indigenous peoples (MIPs) in political, legal and social processes. This has been achieved mainly through advocacy work. In its next strategic phase CEMIRIDE is focusing on economic empowerment of these communities for sustainable livelihoods. This will be achieved through advocacy, research, knowledge sharing, capacity development, strategic partnerships and networking.
