KCYPS unites young peacebuilders in all 47 counties to co-create solutions, challenge narratives, and lead Kenya’s peacebuilding future, because sustainable peace is youth-led peace.
The Kenya Coalition on Youth, Peace and Security (KCYPS) is a dynamic, youth-led movement, by young people and for young people, committed to redefining peacebuilding across Kenya’s 47 counties. Building on the principles of decolonization, localization, and authentic youth leadership, we are determined to challenge dominant narratives, transform existing peace and security structures, and bridge the gap between grassroots realities and national policy.
We organize, empower, and amplify the voices of young peacebuilders to ensure they are not just beneficiaries, but primary architects of sustainable peace. By championing the Youth, Peace, and Security (YPS) agenda, we are reshaping future engagement and fostering a Kenya where youth are recognized as indispensable partners in security, governance, and social cohesion.
