Through USAID's Office of Transition Initiatives, Kachra oversaw the Kenya Transition Initiative, which helped Kenyans establish a renewed judiciary, implement a new constitution, and grapple with longstanding land issues. As a country central to American foreign policy in Africa, Kachra argues, efforts to foster peace, reconciliation, and democratic political reform there had real benefits to US security objectives.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn examining USAID's role in a critical period in Kenyan history and drawing on his first-hand experiences, Kachra contends that \"peace and security,\" a phrase commonly used through American government documents and foreign policy strategies, is ill-defined and does not account for how overseas development interventions contribute to American national security objectives. Arguing against compartmentalization and narrow understandings of what constitutes peace and security work, Kachra instead urges specialists and policymakers to adopt a broader, more holistic approach when considering strategic objectives. An insightful examination by a career development expert, \u003cem\u003ePeace and Security in Kenya\u003c\/em\u003e offers a fresh approach at a significant time in global affairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGaleeb Kachra\u003c\/strong\u003e spent a decade with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) including six years as the Deputy Country Representative in USAID's Office of Transition Initiatives in Kenya.
