About the Agency for Cross-Border Pastoralists Development (APaD):
The Agency for Cross-Border Pastoralists Development (APaD) is a Non-Governmental
Organization duly registered by the Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) Board of Kenya. It has
its Head Office in Lodwar town and field offices in Kakuma and Lokiriama, Turkana County.
Founded and registered as a Community-Based Organization in 2002, APaD transitioned to an NGO
in 2019. APaD envisions a community that is empowered, secure, dignified, and resilient. The
organization implements its programs in pastoralist Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) in Northern
Kenya, with a particular focus on Turkana and West Pokot Counties; and across the international
borderlands with Uganda, South Sudan, and Ethiopia (the IGAD’s Karamoja Cluster).
To contribute to addressing issues plaguing the pastoralist communities within the IGAD’s Karamoja
Cluster, APaD implements programs in the following thematic areas of focus: Peacebuilding and
Governance; Food Security and Livestock Development; Community Health and Nutrition; Climate
Resilience and Natural Resource Management (NRM); Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and
Humanitarian Response; Women and Youth Empowerment; Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH);
and, Research, Advocacy, and Policy Influence.
As part of its commitment to impactful and sustainable change, APaD employs a comprehensive set of
programmatic approaches that integrate peacebuilding, development, and humanitarian action to ensure
seamless transitions from emergency response to long-term resilience (the twin-track approach). Its multi-
sectoral and community-led interventions address complex challenges—such as conflict, climate
change, food insecurity, and governance deficits—through participatory, inclusive, and rights-based
strategies. APaD emphasizes evidence-based programming, multi-stakeholder collaboration, and
policy advocacy, while actively promoting women’s and youth leadership. The organization also adopts
adaptive management and continuous learning to enhance the relevance, innovation, and effectiveness
of its programs in cross-border pastoralist contexts.
As part of its organizational growth and program expansion, APaD is seeking to recruit qualified,
competent, passionate, and committed professionals for the following positions:
