This report by the Institute for Security Studies examines the evolution of countering violent extremism (CVE) in Kenya, moving from primarily military-based responses to a multi-sectoral approach. It evaluates the experiences of state and non-state actors, the implementation of the National Strategy to Counter Violent Extremism (NSCVE), and the development of County Action Plans (CAPs) in high-risk regions.

This executive summary reports on a 2024 study commissioned by Natural Justice to assess the state of the Climate Justice Movement (CJM) in Kenya. The study involved 404 survey responses, 19 key informant interviews, and 12 focus group discussions across six regional economic blocs. It finds that while the CJM has a strong grassroots presence and has influenced national and county policies, it is currently hindered by internal fragmentation, leadership disputes, and limited funding. The document outlines the movement's composition, its role in monitoring government climate finance, and the legal frameworks—such as the Climate Change Act of 2016—that govern climate action in Kenya.
