About CLAN! Network
Formed in 2018, CLAN! is the largest national open network of Indigenous
communities and local community-support organizations in Kenya, dedicated to
advancing community land registration, climate justice and sustainable natural
resource management, with a key focus on the formalization of community land
rights in accordance with the Community Land Act No. 27 of 2016. Our goal is
to empower communities to secure their land rights, protect natural resources,
and build resilient livelihoods through inclusive governance and climate action.
Since its inception, CLAN! has experienced significant growth, expanding from a
small group of founding members to a diverse network of 85 members,
including 54 local & indigenous communities and 31 organizations (NGOs and
CBOs) across 21 counties in Kenya.
As an unregistered, loose network, CLAN! relies on grant holder organizations to
manage project funds. These organizations, selected from among CLAN!’s
members, operate under a formal MoU that defines their role in financial
management and accountability. Presently, the Chepkitale Indigenous People
Development Project (CIPDP), a registered Kenyan NGO based in Kitale, serves
as the grant holder for CLAN! Network.
