"A safe society starts with safe spaces. Let’s make police stations places where youth feel heard, protected, and respected — not feared. #sylo #youthdesk #kikaosalama #policeyouthdialogue Australian High Commission, Kenya UNDP Kenya Khalid Koser Ministry of Interior | Kenya National Police Service-Kenya State Dept for Youth Affairs & Creative Economy UN-Habitat Youth

We’ve concluded the week with the 45th community dialogue — an inaugural Kikao Salama hosted by Ongata Rongai Police Station in Kajiado County. This marked their first-ever session, moderated by #SYLO, with active participation from the Deputy Station Commander. Australian High Commission, Kenya

Thika Police Station held its first #KikaoSalama under a tree yesterday. The youth-police dialogue got encouraging feedback on how the station can serve the youth better. This was the 47th Kikao overall under the #sylo project with support from DAP Australian High Commission, Kenya.

Just, inclusive, and peaceful societies require trust between people and institutions ACES Africa Center builds that trust where it matters most. SYLO is not just a security program—it's a governance transformation model rooted in local realities and linked to SDG 16.

SYLO program is a multidimensional project involving 6 linked components that contribute to multiple #SDGs with key anchorage on #SDG16. Our Executive Director Karanja Muraya expounds this further.

Olekasasi police station #NPS, for the first time, held a dialogue that is part of #sylo program with its youths. The youths were ready and willing to bridge the gap between them and the police through these dialogues so that they can get to understand each other well.

Mental health is central to the success of police reforms, conflict de-escalation and peace building. The #Kikaosalama isn't just another police-youth dialogue under the SYLO program. UNDP Kenya Australian High Commission, Kenya Denmark in Kenya @https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1CP5Zkcm5f/
