Replying to @whatthewomensay
That's the idea behind supporting community-led response (#sclr), which ICAN is scaling with #WASL partners. Communities aren't passive recipients of aid. They're first & last responders. Here's what that's looks like in practice: 👇

3 days of engagement. Diverse voices. One shared responsibility. Over 40 stakeholders from national and county government, media, creative arts, influencers, and civil society convened in @KilifiCountyGov to deepen a shared understanding that clear, ethical, and responsible communication is critical in preventing and countering violent extremism, addressing harmful narratives, and strengthening community trust. Implemented under the Kenya–EU partnership and aligned to Kenya’s #PCVE Strategy 2025–2030, the Communication and Media Stakeholders' Capacity Building Forum strengthened skills in planning and implementing effective PCVE campaigns and responsible messaging. Together, we continue to build resilient communities, credible voices, and social cohesion. #NSPCVE #SecureKe #PCVE #KenyaEU #Kilifi @ManyattaYouth_m @Samba4Youth @MadvocateCbo @YEEPAlumniKenya @SFCG_Kenya
