Kenya’s Anti-Terrorism Strategy Should Prioritize Human Rights, Rule of Law (2018)

In 2017, Freedom House in partnership with Real-Time Interactive Worldwide Intelligence (RIWI) conducted a “nanosurvey” that sought to answer the question, why does democracy matter? The results were used to develop a strategy brief, which was discussed by a group of stakeholders and then disseminated to a larger audience. Written in the context of a global backlash against democratic values, the brief sought to gauge public opinion on various aspects of democracy.
From June 27 to July 27, 2018, Freedom House, again in partnership with RIWI, conducted a fresh online nanosurvey using RIWI’s random domain targeting methodology. This survey was designed to explore the relationship between human rights and the rule of law and Kenya’s fight against terrorism against the back policy brief drop of concerns about lack of attention to “the structural factors that push youth to radicalization and extremist violence” (Mazrui, 2018).
