Public Benefit Organizations (PBOs), formerly NGOs in the north eastern region have been commended for fostering collaboration and building trust between communities and security agencies thus enhancing security in the region.
In a region that has experienced insecurity incidents especially from al shabaab insurgents in the recent years, PBOs have played a critical role in facilitating dialogue to overcome historical mistrust between local communities and the state, promoting social cohesion and allowing information flow to avert security threats.
