Selam Ekisil II

The Selam Ekisil, or SEEK, project adopted a conflict systems-based approach to address the multiple causes of conflict in cross-border areas and to promote peacebuilding, conflict management, and conflict resolution capacity at the community and cross-border levels. It was part of the EU’s program for Collaboration in the Cross Border areas of the Horn of Africa, working to prevent and mitigate the impact of local conflict and to promote economic development and greater resilience in four different cross-border regions. The three-year project addressed drivers of conflict, insecurity, and instability, while strengthening the systems and institutions that peacefully manage and resolve conflict on the border of southwest Ethiopia and northwest Kenya.
