A community policing team has been formed in Bungoma County following a stakeholders’ collaboration spearheaded by the National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC) to strengthen efforts aimed at preventing violent extremism and enhancing security at the grassroots level.
The initiative brings together security agencies, community leaders, religious groups, youth representatives, county government and civil society organisations to promote information sharing, early warning mechanisms and community engagement in the fight against radicalisation and terrorism threats in the region.
The initiative is a result of the National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC), in partnership with the European Union under the Kenya- EU project implementation of the National Strategy to prevent and counter violent extremism (NSPCVE) 2025-2030.
