I am working on:
The OMNIA Institute for Contextual Leadership trains religious and civil society leaders -- clergy and lay, women, men and young people -- to form Interfaith Peacemaker (IP) Teams. It trains them to collaborate across identities, build power, and act only on urgent, relevant, and winnable issues that arise from the ground in their communities, ensuring consistent victories.
We are working with our partner countries to initiate programs to alleviate the most pressing problems the communities identify. My work is currently focused on issue in Kenya, Sri Lanka, Liberia, Uganda, and Togo where food security and climate change are prominent drivers of negative impacts.

OMNIA Institute for Contextual Leadership is honored to offer this submission to the FSN Forum From Foresight to Field: Exploring regional and multistakeholder perspectives to implement a foresight on emerging technologies and innovations in agrifood systems. OMNIA's proven social innovation is to empower local marganilized communities in the African and Asian nations where we work through a hyperlocal and inclusive gathering of interfaith leaders. Interfaith Peacemaking Teams engage with their communities to identify urgent needs and relevant, achievable, and winnable solutions. Here we describe our activities in Kenya where hunger, poverty, and food insecurity in the face of climate change threaten the health and welfare of fisher and farmer peoples living in lands along Lake Victoria. Please reach out to us if you find our work favorable to yours so we can share technological solutions to accelerate our work in Kenya and other regions interested in sustainable and resilient cage aquaculture.
