Expression of Interest (EOI) – Kenya Community Engagement and Resilience Programme (KCERP) at Act Change Transform (Act)

The KCERP programme aims to strengthen the resilience of communities – women and men – in all their diversity at risk of suffering from (or being engaged in) violent extremism. The specific objectives are:

• Increased awareness of women, youth and the community on Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism (PCVE) – including human rights and gender (offline and online);
• Improved agency for community leaders, especially youth and women, on driving PCVE, including by having a more positive relationship with local authorities/law enforcement;
•  Increased socio-economic resilience for women and youth (especially disengaged youth) against violent extremism through increased sustainable income.
• The programme will be implemented from 2025 to 2028 in five (5) Counties – Lamu, Tana River, Mandera, Marsabit and Wajir. KCERP will be rolled out in two (2) phases. Phase I will be implemented in the urban, peri-urban and rural areas of Lamu and Tana River Counties and Phase II in Mandera, Marsabit and Wajir Counties.
