Supporting Safety of Journalists in Kenya: An assessment based on UNESCO’s Journalist Safety Indicators (UNESCO 2016)

July 3, 2016

UNESCO’s report documents the national state of journalist’s safety and the issue of impunity by providing an overview of the safety situation of journalists in Kenya. It also points out the context of safety and the responsibility of all stakeholders in addressing the issue of journalists’ safety in Kenya.

The study was conducted by African Media Initiative (AMI), in consultation with UNESCO. This activity was funded by UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Programme on Development of Communication (IPDC) which is a multilateral forum in the UN system that not only provides support for media projects but also seeks an accord to secure a healthy environment for the growth of free and pluralistic media in developing countries. It was carried out within the efforts of UNESCO to “promote an enabling environment for freedom of expression, press freedom and journalistic safety in Kenya.”

The report was developed through a multi-stakeholder engagement and consultation process that included a media stakeholders meeting held on 22 May 2015, which provided a platform for participants to plan the study’s methodology and the responsibility of diverse actors relevant to the media sector in Kenya. A second consultation meeting was also held on 23 February 2016 to review the draft study report and implementation of the recommendations therein. A peer review exercise of the study was also carried out before its publication.
