The Programme

Reducing Insecurity and Violent Extremism in the Northern and Coastal regions of Kenya (REINVENT) is a six-year (2019-2025) programme funded by UK Government through its Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO). The programme aims to improve security and stability in 18 counties across several regions of Kenya to enable investment, inclusive growth, and equitable service delivery.  The programme is designed to enhance Kenyan capacity and capability to address, prevent and respond better to criminal violence and weak community-police relations, Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG), inter-communal conflict and election-related violence, and radicalisation and violent extremism. 
REINVENT is managed by Tetra Tech International Development and delivered in partnership with the Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies (RUSI). 
The Impact of the REINVENT programme is “Improved community safety and security as measured by effect on inclusive and equitable development, investment and service delivery in Kenya.” The Outcome is “Improved state and non-state actors' collaboration in a mutually accountable and inclusive manner to respond effectively to root causes of violence”.
The outputs are:
•    Accountable and effective police (and other security agencies) addressing community security, violent extremism, and election security.
•    Strengthened agency of women and girls in peace, safety, and security.
•    Intra and inter institutional commitment to address the root causes and drivers of conflict.
•    Knowledge and evidence generated and utilised to enhance community and institutional learning and adaptation.
