From 28 September to 2 October 2026, National Counter Terrorism Centre - Kenya brought together staff who joined the Centre between 2024 and 2026 for a five-day induction programme.

It was a packed week of learning that moved across the breadth of NCTC's work, from understanding Kenya's terrorism threat landscape and the revised NSPCVE 2025–2030, to radicalization and violent extremism, child safety, psychosocial support, strategic communications, MERL, professional ethics and the systems that keep the Centre's work moving.

But it wasn't only about the subjects. It was about understanding where we fit, what connects our work, and why the work we do matters. As the Director General reminded participants at the opening, the evolving nature of the threats we face requires us to remain informed, adaptable and prepared to work across institutions and communities.

Five days later, 60 staff walked away with new knowledge, new connections and, hopefully, a clearer sense of what it means to be part of the NCTC family.

Not just an induction, but a shared understanding of the work we are here to do.

Earlier this month National Counter Terrorism Centre - Kenya and , Somalia had a post-caucus engagement courtesy of our partners United Nations Office of Counter Terrorism and EU Service for Foreign Policy Instruments. The focus was on institutional benchmarking and exchange of experiences on CT and PCVE.

Discussions examined the enduring AS threat, particularly its ability to adapt, recruit and regenerate despite sustained pressure. Emphasis was placed on looking beyond kinetic capability to better understand the identity, mindset, emotions, perceptions and moral fabric sustaining radicalisation and ideological commitment.

The engagement also provided an opportunity to share our multi-agency and whole-of-society approach and explore areas for deeper NCTC–TUBSAN cooperation, particularly in countering extremist ideology, research and analysis, strategic communications and community resilience.

CLERICS CAPACITY BUILDING ON REHABILITATION AND REINTEGRATION IN

​In collaboration with United Nations Development Programme - UNDP, National Counter Terrorism Centre - Kenya hosted local clerics for the Annual Experiential Learning Forum to strengthen their role in guiding returning and at-risk individuals back into their communities. Over three days, they examined the complex emotional, spiritual, and economic challenges these individuals face, working through real-world obstacles drawn from their own neighborhoods.

​Shifting to practical application, the clerics practiced trauma-informed counseling, active listening, and strategies to dismantle local stigma. Through role-play scenarios, they refined supportive dialogue techniques and established clear referral pathways with external partners.

​The forum concluded with participants turning shared insights into action, designing tailored community plans to support long-term reintegration. With clear tracking and documentation methods in place, they departed ready to create lasting impact in their home communities.

Uasin Gishu County📍

From 14–16 September 2026, NCTC Kenya engaged stakeholders in Uasin Gishu County to remodel the County Action Plan (CAP) on Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism.

The conversations brought local realities, emerging concerns, and community perspectives into focus, creating space to rethink what is working, what needs strengthening and where the County can sharpen its prevention efforts.

The result is a CAP that speaks more directly to Uasin Gishu’s own context, priorities and people, because prevention works differently in every community.

The plan is being reshaped. The focus remains the same: a safer, more resilient Uasin Gishu.

There is a growing sense of confidence among local leaders, the community and security actors about the progress being made in Lamu County. The is building on that momentum through the formation of the Security and Community Policing Working Group (SCPWG) in Lamu.

The group brings different actors into one space to sustain the gains made in security, strengthen early warning and address emerging concerns before they grow.

Speaking during the engagement, the Deputy County Commissioner challenged the long-held perception that communities and the security actors cannot work together, emphasizing the need to build a strong working relationship between the two for the good of Lamu County.
