Nakuru County Peace Accord
Nakuru County was seen as the epicenter of violence in the aftermath of the disputed 2007 presidential elections which left over 1,100 people dead and over 350,000 displaced nationwide.

The Nakuru County Peace Accord (or “Rift Valley Peace Accord”) refers to the peace agreement signed on 19 August 2012 between elders of the Agikuyu and Kalenjin communities as well as other ethnic groups of Kenya.

The agreement was signed following a 16 month-long peace process led by the National Cohesion and Integration Commission and the National Steering Committee on Peace Building and Conflict Management, with technical support from the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue. It was designed to address sources of ethnic conflict and a history of violence in the rift valley region of Kenya.
