It is based on qualitative research data that was collected during field visits between July and November 2007 in three arid lands districts in Northern Kenya - Isiolo, Baringo/East Pokot and Garissa. Research areas were selected to gain insight into conflict and legal dynamics among a variety of ethnic groups and in differing ecological and political environments. Research tools mainly consisted of semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions and participant observation. New research tools, such as legal aid days, were piloted during the study. About 80 interviews were conducted with a broad range of individuals, ranging from formal authorities to peace committee members, NGOs, CSOs, informal authorities, women groups, youth groups and others. 2013-03-07T17:18:33Z 2013-03-07T17:18:33Z 2008-12 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2008/12/16589998/kenya-building-informal-justice-northern-kenya http://hdl.handle.net/10986/12602 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank and Legal Resources Foundation Trust, Nairobi Economic & Sector Work :: Law and Justice Study Economic & Sector Work Africa Kenya
