IPT advance community‑led police reforms that strengthen trust, accountability, and collaboration between citizens and security actors across our target counties, with a deliberate emphasis on women’s safety, dignity, and leadership. Our work is grounded in evidence, partnership, and adaptive learning, ensuring that policing systems are responsive, rights‑based, and aligned with the lived realities of women and marginalized groups.

Our approach begins with the development of region‑specific, evidence‑based workplans that integrate gender analysis and prioritize women’s voices. Working closely with senior regional leadership, county‑level partners, and women’s rights organizations, we translate high‑level objectives into practical, context‑sensitive interventions. We continuously analyse political, economic, and gender dynamics to ensure programming remains relevant and adaptive. Weekly progress reviews, delivery updates, and risk assessments allow us to adjust strategies in response to emerging challenges while maintaining timely implementation.

A core pillar of our work is strengthening collaboration between women, communities, and the National Police Service. We facilitate structured dialogue and coordination mechanisms that enhance transparency, accountability, and joint problem‑solving, with women’s participation at the center. By supporting engagement with County Security and Intelligence Committees (CSICs), survivor‑centered justice platforms, and grassroots women’s networks, we help bridge the gap between citizens and security providers. This ensures that policing reforms are not only institutionally driven but also informed and owned by women and communities.

In addition, we contribute to Government Engagement Plans and influencing strategies to ensure reforms are institutionalized and sustainable. By leveraging technical, political, and social capital within counties, we build strategic alliances between county governments, national government agencies, security actors, women’s rights movements, and international development partners. These collaborations help anchor reforms within formal systems while maintaining strong community ownership and gender accountability.
