CLOAK was established in 2021 by IMPACT to tackle the common challenges pastoralist communities face across Kenya. It brings together community land management committees, women champions, and vocal leaders to address these issues collectively.

The association aims to amplify, strengthen, and consolidate community landowners’ voices and rights in managing their natural resources. By doing so, CLOAK will underpin and strengthen the collective land and natural resource rights of Indigenous Peoples and minorities in Kenya.
