Title of event Is there a need for a Public Safety Hub in Kenya?
Date and location 21 August, Pretoria
Brief description of event Increasing numbers of terrorist attacks, high levels of violent crime and public and target audience violence associated with religious, socio-economic and political factors all contribute to a sense of escalating insecurity in Kenya. Arguably, an important requirement for appropriate multi-sectorial responses to address insecurity is better information. This roundtable focused on ISS’s research findings on crime trends in Kenya, the drivers of crime, and responses. The meeting also showcased a unique initiative of the ISS – the South African Crime and Justice Information and Analysis Hub. The hub provides free online, interactive data and analysis on key security challenges facing that country. The roundtable explored whether such an initiative could be developed for Kenya and how it could be utilised to promote a better understanding of, and responses to, crime and public safety threats.

However, the presidency of Thabo Mbeki saw a new approach of ‘quiet diplomacy.’ Attendees discussed the role of states with regard to multilateral agencies, and debated what the most appropriate ways are for countries to take a position on human rights and democracy, while still taking into account issues of ‘sovereignty.’ This is particularly challenging, as many states in the developing world ascribe to a foreign policy of non-interference. This is why most countries tend to work through multilateral institutions instead of taking a strong individual stance. This seminar targeted foreign policy experts, CSO actors, state officials and other stakeholders.
