About CLAN! Network

Formed in 2018, Community Land Action Now! (CLAN!) is a loose network of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs), NGOs, and CBOs in Kenya, dedicated to addressing challenges related to land tenure 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. CLAN! works to promote information sharing and foster mutual support among its members. We empower indigenous and local communities to safeguard their land, protect their heritage, and drive climate-resilient futures.

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 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.
