Improved Community Security Programme

The Kenya Improving Community Security Programme (ICS) is a DFID funded problem driven programme to address three types of violence: criminal violence, inter-communal violence and violence against women and girls (VAWG) initially in eight counties: Kisumu, Bungoma, Wajir, Mandera Nakuru, Baringo, Kwale and Kilifi. ICS interventions will strengthen safety and security institutions at the national level and in selected counties to provide more effective, accountable and responsive services to communities that are actively engaged in improving safety and security. The Impact of the programme is “increased security and safety for men, women and children in Kenya through greater capacity to prevent and respond to violence.” The Outcome is “improved safety and security institutions at national level and in 8 counties that provide more effective, accountable and responsive services to a public that is actively engaged in improving safety and security.”
