Centre for Minority Rights Development (CEMIRIDE)

About

Established in 2001, CEMIRIDE aims to strengthen the capacity of minority and indigenous peoples (MIPs) in Kenya to better enable them to secure their social, economic, cultural and political rights.

Presently, our focus lies on promoting economic empowerment for MIPs through the achievement of sustainable livelihoods, which we have identified as the foundation of WELLBEING. To this end, CEMIRIDE engages in a variety of activities targeted at equipping minority and indigenous communities, as well as journalists and human rights defenders, with the skills needed to understand and advocate for their rights.

These include conducting research on various topics related to the rights of minorities and indigenous communities; collaborating with stakeholders such as minority and indigenous community organisations, journalists and other organisations to enhance their capacity to identify human rights issues and inclusion opportunities, and to track the effectiveness of their interventions; working with government to ensure compliance with policy and laws regarding minority and indigenous peoples' rights; and supporting county governments in adopting and implementing legislative and policy frameworks which promote the mainstreaming of minority and indigenous peoples' rights in areas of development.
