Nairobi, Kenya: Example of a Legitimate Approach

 2024/11/nairobi-brief.png

The Legend Kenya (TLK), in partnership with the Life & Peace Institute, implemented the intervention Pamoja Mtaani (Community Cohesion) in three informal settlements in Nairobi, Kenya (Korogocho, Kayole, and Mathare) in 2021. By working with the Nairobi County Commissioner and authorities tasked with overseeing law enforcement, the project aimed to address community violence by fostering collaboration between police and citizens through community-led dialogues and community-police joint activities. Through the project activities, community members from historically marginalized communities—who are often vulnerable to violence from law enforcement—engaged at different levels of decision making to foster community autonomy. By opening spaces for dialogue and community engagement in collaborative efforts to promote community safety, Pamoja Mtaani helped to address historically damaged relationships between citizens and law enforcement, contributing to enhance trust and social cohesion.
