The Request alleged adverse impact on the Cherangany community from the projects. The Requesters claimed that the non-recognition of their community as indigenous in project documents for several years, and most recently in the above-referenced projects, has led to a community and territorial identity crisis and has increased discrimination through tribalism. The Requesters further alleged that both projects leave out the most vulnerable and marginalized indigenous peoples. They also claimed that project information was not disclosed in a timely manner and consultations excluded them and their indigenous peoples’ organizations. According to the Requesters, the approach adopted in identifying sub-projects was wrong, especially in regard to the KCSAP, with very small and unsustainable projects being funded that do not benefit their communities.
