Kenya has made significant strides in preventing and countering violent extremism, recognizing the role of faith communities, and gender-responsive approaches in building community resilience against radicalization and violent extremism. #PreventingViolentExtremism
Despite these advances, the country’s borderlands and coastal regions are vulnerable to recruitment by extremist networks that continue to exploit socio-economic deprivation, ethnic grievances, religious misinterpretations, and governance gaps at the grassroots level. #PCVE2026
"These experiences represent a resource for national policy dialogue to engage in evidence-based discussion about what works, what does not & how the national PCVE architecture can be more responsive to communities." - Ambrose Kilonzo, Chairman, Kenya Interfaith Youth Network

Kenya's ongoing Measles-Rubella and Typhoid Vaccination campaign comes at a critical time. This is a strategic opportunity to close immunization gaps, and save lives. @MOH_Kenya@UNICEF@WHO supports #FaithsForVaccines 🇰🇪
@irck_info in collaboration with @UNDPKenya@InteriorKE brought together interfaith youth and security forces at Marsabit Mixed School in a powerful football match promoting trust, dialogue & reintegration. Together, we build bridges not walls. #FaithsForPeace
On the pitch, we don't ask about tribe or religion; only teamwork. Football teaches us that peace is possible when we play together, not against each other.
