In this project, KALI works with 10 trained peace ambassadors from the 10 CBOs in the sub counties of Nkoma,Busiriba,Kahunge,Nyabbani and Ntara. the FPA have organized grassroots sensitization meetings, The CBOs and FPAs have since the grassroots sensitization meetings been focal persons for guidance and support towards preventing conflicts in communities.
