Sustainable Approaches for Community Empowerment (SAPCONE) was founded in 2006 and registered with the Department of Social Services and Development as a Community-Based Organization mandated to spearhead socio-economic self-reliance and a transformative sustainable development agenda. It was later registered as a Civil Society Organization in 2011 by a group of indigenous people with representation from the seven sub-counties in greater Turkana and Marsabit County.
SAPCONE envisions peaceful, just, and resilient communities and aims to promote social cohesion and lasting solutions to poverty and injustices for vulnerable and displaced communities. The core values that SAPCONE works towards are Equity, Inclusiveness, Integrity, Human Dignity, Accountability and Transparency. Key activities are aimed at promoting good governance, respect for human rights, education and child protection, sustainable natural resource management, peacebuilding, and conflict mitigation.
