Developing and Implementing Local Action Plans for P/CVE in East Africa: A Strong Cities Toolkit with lessons from Kenya

Patricia Crosby & Dominic Pkalya, May 2021

Summary

This toolkit has been designed by the Strong Cities Network as a resource for governments and civil society organisations in East Africa interested in developing a Local Action Plan (LAP). It builds upon the SCN's experience in delivering locally-led programmes and supporting action plan development in Kenya, Jordan, Lebanon and North Macedonia. Case studies are primarily drawn from SCN-funded projects in Kenya. The toolkit is based on Kenya's experiences with localising the National Strategy to Counter Violent Extremism launched in 2016, referred to as County Action Plans.
