“…However, there is a lack of a comprehensive research agenda to evaluate the effectiveness of various peacebuilding initiatives, particularly in societies that are divided (Brankovic, 2018).

In recent times, Kenya has had a series of crises after elections, highlighting the imperative of ongoing endeavors to cultivate enduring peace. Understanding the factors that contribute to electoral conflicts is of utmost importance in formulating efficacious strategies for promoting peace. The primary objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of peace-building measures in the management of election tensions in Trans-Nzoia County, Kenya. The study used an evaluation research methodology. After combining basic random and selective sampling methods, a total of 203 respondents and 36 key informants were selected for the study. The data was gathered by means of interview guides and questionnaires. Tables, charts, and figures were used to display the results of the descriptive statistical analysis of the quantitative data collected from the questionnaires. Thematic analysis was used to arrange and analyze the results of the interviews. The findings highlight the efficacy of various peace-building strategies in lowering tensions and avoiding violence before, during, and after elections. These strategies include training, mediation, dialogue, grassroots advocacy, sensitization programs, and attitude-transformation initiatives. Furthermore, the study noted that targeting youth, developing confidence in the electoral management body, an early warning system, and collaboration between security forces and political parties is essential for a peaceful election. The study recommends that it would be beneficial for the Government of Kenya to develop a comprehensive framework that can effectively and methodically lead peace-building operations in the region.

This paper looks at the interface between Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and international criminal justice, within the broader context of Transitional Justice (TJ). The unique case of Northern Uganda is used as an example to illustrate the role of NGOs in global governance. Due to the growing demand for criminal accountability as a form of TJ, it makes a qualitative assessment of NGO relationships at domestic and global levels. It illustrates how NGOs contribute to the legitimization of global norms and criminal accountability for international crimes. It reveals an organizational articulation of international criminal justice using victims' rights discourses and interventions. It is shown that the International NGOs assert a form of sociological legitimacy in support of the International Criminal Court. The paper concludes that there is still a compelling case to be made for the involvement of NGOs in global governance. The impact of this research serves to invite further reflection on the work of NGOs, uncovering their critical role in the domestic implementation of global norms within the context of TJ.
