To address the root causes of conflict and promote peaceful coexistence, CLIP Poverty Organization with support from USAID DT Global Shejah Salam organized a fisheries training for cattle camp youth in Mayendit , Leer and Payinjiar Counties

Traditionally, many young men rely on cattle for their livelihoods, a situation that has sometimes led to cattle raiding and violent conflict. Through this initiative, we are equipping youth with alternative income-generating skills in fisheries, enabling them to build stable and peaceful futures.

 

 

The training focused on:

• Basic fish handling, preservation, and storage.

• Sustainable fishing techniques that protect the environment.

• Small-scale business skills to help youth generate income from fish sales.

• Conflict-sensitivity and the importance of pursuing peaceful livelihoods.

By empowering young people with practical skills and opportunities, this project reduces their vulnerability to engaging in harmful practices and instead supports them to become agents of peace, resilience, and economic growth in their communities.
