Abstract

County government is vital to the county's conflict management. Legislation has been put in place but rampant conflicts have occurred in Nairobi County despite these. The study sought to identify factors in Nairobi City County for effective conflict resolution responses. This study is essential because Nairobi City County is a strategic area for Kenya's capital city being the national government and therefore peace and security are essential in our quest to initiate and advance socio-economic development projects. They were evaluated and included evaluation of Nairobi City County's conflict resolution response strategy, reviewing resource mobilization for conflict resolution responses in Nairobi County, and assessing leadership culture's contribution to conflict resolution responses in Nairobi County. The study's theoretical basis is anchored on three theories, including the theory of social conflict, management theory, and the theory of conflict transformation. Secondary data were used for the purposes of this research work to collect information from various relevant sources. Secondary data is distributed either by county governments in the form of publications; Different publications of foreign governments or international bodies and their subordinates; scientific and commercial journals; magazines, books, and newspapers; Articles and publications by various industry and business organizations, banks and stock exchange; investigator reports. The study found that political violence, especially in informal settlements, is the most prevalent type of violence. The research also shows that more class influences extremism. However, there are other types of violence that are cumulatively more important than political violence, such as domestic, ethnic, economic and landlord tenants, and policies that should be included in these accounts. The study concludes that Nairobi County is highly prone to conflict due to the political significance of the region, entrenched culture of political violence, and social tensions related to unemployment among young people, inequality and landlessness.
