Abstract

Pan-Africanism has been a significant force in African politics and culture since the mid-1900s, with Kenya playing a pivotal role in its evolution and implementation. The research employs a survey-based approach involving interviews with key stakeholders including government officials, community leaders, and civil society organizations. A notable finding is that while there has been an increase in Pan-Africanist discourse across various sectors, significant barriers to its full implementation remain due to cultural resistance and limited resources. Pan-Africanism continues to face substantial challenges but also presents promising opportunities for fostering unity and development within Kenya and on the continent as a whole. Policy makers should prioritise capacity building and resource allocation to support Pan-Africanist initiatives, while encouraging community engagement and dialogue to overcome cultural barriers.
