About Us

ATUDIS (Agency for Turkana Development Initiatives) is an independent registered Non-Governmenta Organization based in Lodwar -Turkana County. The prime motto is capacity building, Community empowerment and service delivery to the deprived and marginalized people of Turkana County.
In 2014, a group of professionals, dynamic and like-minded working in the development sector, got together with the aim of establishing a CBO, for addressing the most urgent and pressings needs of the people of Turkana County. True to this spirit, the organization was named Agency for Turkana Development Initiatives (ATUDIS). ATUDIS transitioned from CBO status to NGO Sept 2022.
Considering their association with then the development sector, the professionals were cognizant of the many problems plaguing their County. Consequently, the organization’s focus was not kept limited either in terms of geography or sector. ATUDIS therefore intended to operate in several parts of the County and has been carrying a range of interventions in various sectors of development and humanitarian interventions.
The type of activities undertaken by ATUDIS range from capacity building to service delivery, with main focus remaining on the deprived and marginalized segments of Turkana community. Whereas in terms of operations what characterizes ATUDIS’s functioning are its efforts to: – (a) enlist involvement of the community when initiating activities at the grassroot level; and (b) Mobilizing communities to resolve conflict, bring peace, tolerance and development in the society. .
