Authoritative knowledge on CVE & Financial Integrity
A dedicated research and advocacy platform connecting NPOs, regulators, researchers, and communities with evidence-based resources on countering violent extremism — now expanding into AML/CFT compliance guidance for Kenya's civil society.
Evidence-based knowledge on CVE & AML/CFT
The CVE Research Hub was established in 2017 by CHRIPS to respond to rising terror-related incidents in Kenya. It connects researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and communities with credible publications, observatory data, and — through partnership with TI-Kenya — AML/CFT compliance guidance for non-profit organisations.
