Fact sheet summary: This Factsheet urges communities to try and resolve their grievances through locally available mechanisms, most notably ADR, liaison committees, community-based structures or TDRMs, among others, before engaging state-based judicial mechanisms such as courts.
This Brief seeks to provide an overview of the extractives sector, its attendant grievances and existing judicial and non-judicial grievance handling mechanisms. It should be noted that the Judiciary Guide which forms the basis of this Brief does not seek to prescribe any preferred or appropriate mechanism for addressing existing and emerging grievances in the sector, but to provide a detailed guidance to aid the Judiciary in addressing these grievances.
The process towards the development of this Guide commenced with a Listening Project on “Tracing and Documenting Grievances and Grievance Handling Mechanisms in the Oil and Gas Sector in Kenya: Experiences from Turkana County” conducted by the Extractives Baraza.
This booklet provides an overview of who SEIC and EB are and profiles the work done over the last 3 years.
