Welcome to the Second Annual Colloquium on Preventing and Countering of Violent Extremism (P/CVE). In 2016, HURIA organized the First County Colloquium on CVE at the Kenya School of Government in Matuga, Kwale County. The Colloquium was convened that time in response to the increasing threat of violent extremism that leads to terrorism and its impacts to the economy and livelihoods of the communities in Kwale County and the region at large. It provided an important space for the County’s political leadership and diverse local and regional experts and practitioners to openly converse on CVE. This particular Colloquium is what mooted the idea of developing the first County Action Plan on CVE for Kwale County that has now been emulated in four other Coastal Counties and other parts of the Country.   This year, HURIA with support from the UN Women and USAID is again organizing another colloquium on P/CVE that will invite participation beyond Kwale County for 2 days at the Pride Hotel i

Human Rights Agenda[HURIA] converged at Mkwakwani to Inter Alia Capture Human Rights Violation Cases for PWDs'. A resolution from this gathering was that for a long time, PWDs plight for access to equal opportunities has been misinterpreted for apathy, charity and or sympathy towards PWDs and hence the need to advocate for the rights to inherent dignity for PWDs.
