There is need for intersectoral collaboration in realizing prevention of urban violence within the major urban towns in the country.
Speaking in Nakuru on Tuesday during Placed – Based Leadership Development for Intersectoral Urban Violence Prevention forum, Dr. Rob Worrall-Placed-based Leadership Development consultant said the collaboration is paramount in addressing the challenges facing urban towns.
“The training is paramount in trying to equip with skills the leaders working towards urban violence prevention. So it is all about leadership in problem solving” said Dr.Worall.
The Consultant took through the participants (from various sectors among them health, security, Civil society and opinion leaders) on the understanding of social dynamics of urban centres.
The Place-based leadership Program is implemented by Midrift Human Rights Network (Midrift Hurinet) in partnership with DIGNITY – Danish Institute against Torture with focus in Nakuru and Naivasha municipalities.
The training forum in Nakuru and Naivasha Municipalities is also part of data collection and sharing on the same on violence in urban centres.
According to Dr.Worall, the data shared from intersectoral will also help develop a violence observatory.
He says the violence observatory will be a great tool towards reduction of violence in urban towns.
“We are also developing a violence observatory that will be a great tool towards reduction of violence in urban towns” he said.
