Join our programmes coordinator Ms. @ndarigho as she shares insights and experience on how faith remains a force for peace, unity, and resilience despite the long struggles. #FaithJourney @CSMechanism @NCTC_Kenya @forumciv

Faith can be a source of peace, resilience, and unity, but when distorted, it can also be exploited to justify violence and division. Join us today for an engaging X Space dialogue as experts, practitioners, faith leaders, and community actors unpack how extremist groups misuse religious teachings and explore the role of credible faith-based voices in building resilience against violent extremism. 🎙 Topic: Faith, Facts & Falsehoods: Religion and the Misuse of Belief in Violent Extremism 📅 Friday, 12 June 2026 ⏰ 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM 📍 Live on X Spaces: @CSMechanism #FaithForPeace #PreventingViolentExtremism #NSPCVE @nctc_kenya

.@NCTC_Kenya convened stakeholders in Kitui County from 26–28 May 2026 to review and align the County Action Plan (CAP) with the #NSPCVE. The workshop brought together government officials, security actors, civil society organisations, youth representatives, religious leaders, and community groups to strengthen local efforts in preventing and countering violent extremism. Discussions focused on adapting national priorities to Kitui’s context, assessing progress made under the outgoing CAP, identifying emerging challenges, and developing a more responsive and inclusive action plan. Participants also explored ways to strengthen coordination, enhance early warning and response mechanisms, and promote meaningful engagement of youth, women, and community leaders. The review marks an important step towards building resilient communities through evidence-based, locally driven solutions and a whole-of-society approach to PCVE.

Happy Madaraka Day! Today, we celebrate Kenya's journey of self-governance, the resilience of our people, and the unity that continues to shape our nation. As we commemorate this important milestone, let us reaffirm our shared responsibility in building a peaceful, secure, and prosperous Kenya for present and future generations. #MadarakaDay2026 #MadarakaDay #madarakadayinwajir #TuweTayariKulinda #SecureKe

“Women play a critical role in reintegrating returnees by providing psychosocial support and helping reduce stigma within communities. We must leverage these strengths to strengthen resilience.” #WomenForPeace @MwihakiKagunda

“Women, as ‘soft diplomats,’ are consistently present within communities. This strength should be harnessed to ensure their leadership in peace and security decision-making.” - @Mwangi_j3 #WomenForPeace @NCTC_Kenya @EUinKenya

“Women hold unique influence within informal social networks, allowing them to access insights and information others may not. Their active participation and leadership are critical in preventing and responding to violent extremism.” - @daniel_wathome #WomenForPeace

“Religious spaces are powerful platforms for peace. Women, as active participants in these spaces, have the opportunity to lead and drive peacebuilding efforts.” - @ciramuiruri #WomenForPeace

“Women’s nurturing and relational roles within communities position them to notice subtle changes in behavior early. This instinctive awareness is critical in identifying and responding to risks associated with violent extremism." - @MwihakiKagunda #WomenForPeace

“Kenya stands out regionally in advancing women’s participation in peace and security, with devolution creating entry points at both grassroots and national levels.” - @Mwangi_j3 #WomenForPeace

Following the X Space on Women at the Frontlines of Peace and Security, Daniel Wathome highlighted how cultural norms and socialization can sometimes push women to the sidelines in addressing violent extremism. #WomenForPeace @NCTC_Kenya
