Last month Kakuzi published the first report on it's operational-level grievance mechanism, which was set up as part of an out-of-court settlement agreement following transnational litigation in the UK: https://tinyurl.com/54xs4488

Kakuzi's OGM is interesting because it is expressly set up to provide reparations for harm, unlike most OGMs, and is committed to a high degree of transparency and third party monitoring.

The report confirms many conclusions I drew from my field research (Aug-Oct).

The communities consulted were often from neighbouring communities and not from communities that are on Kakuzi land ("squatters") who face the most severe challenges (with the exception of Sunset below). Kimorori, Huho-ini and Saba Saba are miles away. This has meant that many of the communities that need remedy the most that I spoke with had no idea about the grievance mechanism (except for in Sunset and neighbouring community Kangangu).
