This report documents the Small Grants Initiative implemented under the Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims (SUPKEM) Capacities for Peace (C4P) programme, in partnership with the Life & Peace Institute (LPI), across eight sites in Garissa County. Twelve community-based organisations (CBOs) received modest grants, ranging from KES 60,000 to KES 150,000, paired with structured technical accompaniment. The initiative supported locally defined action on peacebuilding, climate adaptation, and inclusive engagement in a context shaped by recurrent climate shocks and fragile social cohesion.

The report recommends institutionalising continuous financial and monitoring support, embedding inclusion standards, and strengthening linkages with county systems to enable scale. The Garissa experience shows that when modest resources are paired with accompaniment and local legitimacy, community organisations can act as credible partners in advancing peace and climate resilience.
