Marsabit County, Kenya’s vast and culturally diverse northern frontier, has long grappled with cycles of inter-communal conflict rooted in resource competition, ethnic tensions and governance gaps.

The Inter-Religious Council of Kenya (IRCK), with support from Christian Aid and Islamic Relief Kenya, has officially launched the Leveraging Interfaith Mechanism for Conflict Mitigation (LIMCO) project in Marsabit County. The initiative targets Saku and Moyale Constituencies, bringing together Muslim and Christian leaders under one shared mission; PEACE.

LIMCO operates through four strategic pathways: strengthening the Marsabit Interfaith Council, building early warning and response systems, fostering social cohesion, and driving advocacy and strategic linkages with key peace actors at county and national levels.

‘At the heart of LIMCO is a simple but powerful conviction that faith communities are not bystanders to conflict. They are its most credible, most trusted solution.

As LIMCO takes root, IRCK invites all stakeholders, partners, and peacebuilders to walk this journey together.
