Training of Law Enforcement Agencies
There exists a misunderstanding between HRD’s and law enforcers leading to the occasional victimization of HRD’s. Consequently, the work of HRD’s is derailed due to the unnecessary conflict between them and the law enforcers. This leads to loss of confidence on both the law enforcers and HRD’s therefore trivializing important human rights issues.

To address the above problem, KNCHR shall build the capacity of law enforcement officers (specifically Kenya Police Reservists and Administration Police) through trainings, seminars, conferences and consultative meetings. KNCHR expects that victimization of HRD’s by law enforcement officers will reduce (including cases of extra-judicial killings, lengthy pre-trial detention of HRD’s and their wrongful prosecution).

As an intermediate outcome KNCHR seeks to influence formal recognition of HRD’s and their work by law enforcement officers. KNCHR further anticipates that law enforcers will have a better understanding of the role and work of HRD’s as well as the frameworks that inform their work. The project assumes that law enforcers will uphold the rule of law; and that IPOA and NPSC will be effective in working according to their mandate.

Training of community media
Community media is instrumental to the work of HRD’s at the local level. However news gathering and coverage of issues related to HRD’s remains a challenge. This is attributed to awareness gaps as well as different priorities in the media sector.To address the above problem KNCHR will build the capacity of reporters, editors and media policy agencies through trainings, seminars, conferences and consultative meetings. Out of this intervention, KNCHR expects that there shall be enhanced awareness among community media actors regarding roles of HRD’s and laws relating to their work. Consequently there will be improved programming that will offer preference for HRD related coverage.
As an intermediate outcome, KNCHR anticipates that the community media will have an improved accuracy in reporting and prioritizing of issues relating to HRD’s and therefore promote their rights. KNCHR further expects that the community media will engage in public sensitization on the rights of HRD’s. The project assumes that the community media will be willing to adopt knowledge gained from the training; that the community media will allocate more time to coverage of issues regarding HRD’s; that the public will be receptive to programmes highlighting issues of HRD’s; and that the targeted community media have wide coverage in their areas of operation.
