Statement of the Problem

Ethnic and religious tensions have historically plagued Mombasa County, particularly in Mvita Sub-county, leading to recurring conflicts that disrupt social harmony and impede development. These tensions often stem from misunderstandings, mistrust, and a lack of meaningful intercultural dialogue among diverse communities. Despite initiatives aimed at promoting peace and unity, conflicts continue to erupt, highlighting the need for a sustained and effective approach to conflict resolution that addresses the underlying causes of these tensions. Intercultural dialogue, which fosters open communication, mutual respect, and empathy across cultural barriers, has emerged as a promising avenue for mitigating conflicts and building sustainable peace in diverse societies. However, there is limited research exploring the impact of intercultural dialogue on conflict resolution in the context of Mombasa County, particularly in Mvita Sub-county. This study seeks to address this gap by investigating the role of intercultural dialogue in fostering community relations and preventing violent conflicts in this setting.
