This Policy Brief discusses key findings and lessons on adopting a multisectoral coordination and collaboration approach to violence prevention and election preparedness enhancement. It draws from an impact assessment and evaluation report on Creating Peaceful, Fair, and Non-violent Elections”. The brief demonstrates critical insights on the effectiveness of creating avenues for embracing an intersectoral approach, characterized by collective action for collective impact where different stakeholders, state and non-state actors, can work together to create safer communities. It also incorporates recommendations for scaling to currently implemented areas, Nakuru and Baringo, and replicating the lessons learned across the 47 counties and the African region.
Summary Report-Place Based Leadership Development (PBLD) Delivered at the National Criminal Investigations Academy (NCIA)
The PBLD program is designed to help different sectors synergize in preventing violence and achieve safe and secure communities by working on individual leader’s mindsets to embrace different perspectives, thereby enabling leaders to form collaborations for social transformation within and across place and sector. The programme has focused joint work towards reducing ‘risk of violence’, reducing ‘at risk groups’ vulnerability by strengthening their agency for resilience and agency to fight violence before it occurs.
