About the Agency for Cross-Border Pastoralists Development (APaD):
The Agency for Cross-Border Pastoralists Development (APaD)
is a Non-Governmental Organization duly registered by the Non-Governmental
Organization (NGO) Board of Kenya. It has its Head Office in Lodwar town and
field offices in Kakuma and Lokiriama, Turkana County. Founded and registered
as a Community-Based Organization in 2002, APaD transitioned to an NGO in 2019.
APaD envisions a community that is empowered, secure, dignified, and resilient.
The organization implements its programs in pastoralist Arid and Semi-Arid
Lands (ASALs) in Northern Kenya, with a particular focus on Turkana and West
Pokot Counties, and across the international borderlands with Uganda, South
Sudan, and Ethiopia (the IGAD’s Karamoja Cluster).
To contribute to addressing issues plaguing the pastoralist
communities within the IGAD’s Karamoja Cluster, APaD implements programs in the
following thematic areas of focus: Peacebuilding and Governance, Food Security
and Livestock Development, Community Health and Nutrition, Climate Resilience
and Natural Resource Management (NRM), Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and
Humanitarian Response, Women and Youth Empowerment, Water, Sanitation and
Hygiene (WASH), and, Research, Advocacy, and Policy Influence.
As part of its commitment to impactful and sustainable
change, APaD employs a comprehensive set of programmatic approaches that
integrate peacebuilding, development, and humanitarian action to ensure
seamless transitions from emergency response to long-term resilience (the
twin-track approach). Its multi-sectoral and community-led interventions
address complex challenges such as conflict, climate change, food insecurity,
and governance deficits through participatory, inclusive, and rights-based
strategies. APaD emphasizes evidence-based programming, multi-stakeholder
collaboration, and policy advocacy, while actively promoting women’s and youth
leadership. The organization also adopts adaptive management and continuous
learning to enhance the relevance, innovation, and effectiveness of its
programs in cross-border pastoralist contexts
