Strengthening community–security collaboration in Kilifi through dialogue and coordination. 🤝🌍
The @NCTC_Kenya convened community leaders, members of the Kilifi County Engagement Forum (CEF), and national and local administrators to advance early warning systems, build trust, and strengthen coordinated responses under the National Strategy for Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism (NSPCVE). 🚨🕊️
Youth and Women for Peace and Sustainable Development (YOWPSUD) participated in the forum, reaffirming its commitment to community-driven prevention approaches. Through its work in youth empowerment, women’s leadership, and community resilience, including initiatives such as Mwanamke Imara and youth mentorship programs, YOWPSUD continues to support grassroots early warning, strengthen dialogue between communities and security actors, and contribute to the implementation of the County Action Plan on PCVE in Kilifi.
The forum highlighted the importance of multi-stakeholder collaboration in building sustainable peace, preventing radicalization, and strengthening resilience within communities.

The conversations also linked strongly with the priorities of Kenya’s NSPCVE 2025–2030, particularly on localization of prevention efforts, multi-stakeholder collaboration, and strengthening community-based early warning systems. Empowering women to understand their role within these frameworks is key to advancing the Women, Peace and Security agenda and ensuring that prevention approaches are inclusive, community-driven, and sustainable.
Through Mwanamke Imara, we continue to create spaces where women can learn, lead, and shape solutions that strengthen peace, security, and resilience in our communities.

📢 Read this! Drill music isn’t just a music genre, it reflects the real experiences, frustrations, and hopes of young people in marginalized communities around the world. 🎧✨
This article explores how drill has grown from Chicago to global youth culture, how it can give voice and belonging, but also why its links with violence, identity struggles, and even extremism deserve careful discussion, not just judgment. It makes the point that real change needs community support, opportunity, and understanding, not just blaming the music.
