Peace II is a three year conflict mitigation program, aimed at at strengthening cross-border security through local community initiatives and supporting conflict mitigation and early warning and resolution efforts in the region.

Twelve priority "cross-border" peace corridors were identified along the Kenya/Somalia border and Kenya/Ethiopia border as focus areas based on an analysis of a baseline survey and consultative meetings with the local communities.
