Kwale County Plan for Countering Violent Extremism
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of the Kwale County Plan to Counter Violent Extremism (KCPCVE) is to define the manifestation and practical measures for countering radicalisation and violent extremism in Kwale County. It guides the people of Kwale working with the County Government and national security agencies to prevent radicalisation and recruitment into violent extremist groups, and contribute to restorative efforts for those already radicalised or who have joined violent extremist groups.
The Kwale Plan is anchored in the overall approaches, definitions and coordinating frameworks provided by the National Strategy to Counter Violent Extremism (NSCVE). The linking of Kwale’s unique challenges to the national — and by extension regional and global — picture acknowledges that VE is borderless. It also connects Kwale’s solutions to broader support and experiences to our advantage.
