Abstract
Lamu County has recognized that it has a problem of radicalization and violent extremism. Although the incidents are few and far between, but their impact on the Lamu economy and on the delicate co-existence between communities in Lamu is far reaching.
This plan has been developed to craft an all-inclusive approach to the problem of radicalization and violent extremism in Lamu County. The plan was developed through a series of Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), key informant interviews, workshops and a baseline survey in an inclusive and participatory process that brought together the National Government, the County Government,
the community and the Civil Society Organizations in Lamu County.
The Lamu CVE plan is aligned to the United Nation’s goals on CVE and also to the nine (9) pillars of the National Strategy to Counter Violent Extremism. The Lamu CVE plan identifies all the stakeholders who must contribute to its successful implementation.
The plan also does a P-PESTEL analysis of the situation in Lamu and also a Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threats (SWOT) analysis of Lamu County with respect to CVE.
