APID and its partners successfully facilitated monthly Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) meetings across Kotulo-Wajir, Hungai, Kotulo-Mandera, Wargadud, Tarbaj, and Lafaley over the last month, bringing together community members, local administration, contractors, consultants, and project teams to strengthen dialogue, accountability, and collaboration.

These meetings provide platforms for reviewing project progress, address grievances, and agree on practical actions around employment opportunities, water access, in-kind compensation projects, safety, and grievance resolution.

Across the sites, communities raised concerns on delayed project commitments, water scarcity, road safety, dust, labour recruitment, and protection of project assets. In response, commitments were secured to accelerate pending in-kind projects, improve communication and transparency, strengthen labour committees, enhance grievance tracking, and support technical solutions for water access and infrastructure challenges.

A key highlight was the active participation of women, who contributed meaningfully to discussions on community welfare, employment, accessibility, and accountability, ensuring community feedback reflected diverse perspectives.

During a recent GBV/SEA safeguarding and gender assessment mission at Wargadud Camp, efforts focused on listening, learning, and strengthening protection measures across project sites, because a safe and respectful workplace is essential for the wellbeing of every worker.

The assessment identified opportunities to improve awareness of GBV, SEA, SH, reporting mechanisms, and Code of Conduct compliance, particularly among newly recruited workers. It also highlighted the importance of gender-sensitive facilities and stronger safeguards to support the dignity, privacy, and safety of all employees.

In response, sensitization sessions were conducted for workers, supervisors, and HR personnel across Wargadud, Hungai, and Lafaley camps. Awareness materials, referral pathways, and support contacts were shared, while newly recruited workers signed the GBV/SEA/SH Code of Conduct.

Together, we are fostering a culture of respect, accountability, inclusion, and care, ensuring safer workplaces and stronger communities.
