The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) is a statutory body established under the National Cohesion and Integration Act, 2008. The object and purpose for which the Commission is established is to facilitate and promote equality of opportunity, good relations, harmony and peaceful co-existence between persons of the different ethnic and racial communities of Kenya, and to advise the Government on all aspects thereof. 
 Through Amani Clubs, the Commission hopes to inculcate the appreciation of diversity among pupils and students from different ethnic, racial and religious communities.

The clubs are aimed at reducing the involvement of youth in violence by giving them the skills of citizenship, dispute resolution and establishment of peer mediation structures and peace education activities in the schools. The clubs will be used as an avenue to promote good relations, harmony and peaceful co-existence among students and between schools and their neighbouring communities. Club members would then influence their peers to participate in activities that promote the appreciation of diversity, peace, tolerance and national unity.
