National Cohesion and
Integration Commission
Introduction
The object and purpose for which the Commission is
established is to facilitate and promote equality of
opportunity, good relations, harmony and peaceful
coexistence between persons of the different ethnic and
racial communities of Kenya, and to advise the
Government on all aspects thereof.
In line with mandate, the Commission held 10 regional
diversity conversations on ethnicity and race over the past
6 months in an effort to open up spaces for intercommunity dialogue to enable the identifying of
opportunities through which ethnic, racial and religious
tolerance could be enhanced and entrenched in a
sustainable manner.
The policy requires that the national Government, the county governments,
the private sector, civil society, communities, and individuals adhere to the
constitutional demands for ethnic and racial inclusion. Will also require that
county governments and various public and private institutions and
companies develop their own ethnic and race relations policies that are
specific to each entity but based on this policy.
Proper implementation of this policy will assist Kenya in entrenching its new
Constitution, proactively mitigating conflict, building peace and ensuring
cohesion.
The monitoring and evaluation functions of NCIC will include assessing the
extents of proper implementation of this policy as called for by various policy
statements in this document.
Consists of sixty eight policy statements that provide strategic guidance for
achieving the policy vision of positive ethnic and race relations that will
enable Kenya to become more socially cohesive, politically stable, and
economically prosperous.
