This policy brief series highlights youth efforts for peace and the importance of their participation in peace and security processes in the coastal region of Kenya. It discusses some of the challenges facing youth in peace and security efforts and raises policy recommendations for how youth could be better engaged in these processes in Kenya’s coastal region and beyond, while taking into account the unique contexts and institutional mechanisms present in the region.
The policy brief is based on a series of Youth, Peace and Security Roundtables hosted under Search for Common Ground’s Inuka! project with support from the European Union, as well as interactions with diverse civil society organisations, youth-led organisations, Youth, Peace and Security activists, youth leaders and influencers, elected political leaders, and policy analysts, among others.
