Abstract
This research on the Kenya-Uganda Dispute over Migingo Island: A Perspective from the Kenyan Side, is aimed at finding out why the dispute over the ownership and the resulting governance of Migingo Island persists, in spite of efforts by both countries to resolve it. The study sought to find out the underlying causes of the dispute and the efforts made so far to resolve it in order to come up with possible alternative mechanisms to transform it. It was carried out on the assumption that grassroots stakeholders have not been sufficiently included in the process of resolving the dispute and that their meaningful inclusion would provide a better transformation of the dispute. By means of interviews with stakeholders at different levels of the dispute, the study gained quantitative and qualitative data which has been analyzed in simple frequency. The findings show that the dispute is not only about the territory and its governance but also about resources. They also show that whereas so far top-level leadership of both countries has been involved in efforts to resolve it, the local community has not been sufficiently involved in the process. The study would benefit local communities, county, national as well as regional leaders and policy makers of the two countries, Kenya and Uganda, in particular, and the East African community, in general, as they seek a lasting solution to Migingo Island dispute and other similar disputes in the region.
