Previous webinars have discussed the role of security in different countries. We  have seen that there country specific struggles that Covid-19 poses are very different, at the same time though there are opportunities to learn about how to do security better. In a previous webinar some of the challenges discussed included: the need for security professionals to respond quickly to a mounting crisis; complications in responding to the Kenya Private Security Act; and the crucial role of the regulator and its engagement with the security sector in a time of rapid change. So how is the sector faring now? The aim of this webinar is to:
- Understand the latest challenges faced by security professionals in Kenya
- Identify the examples of good practice from security professionals
- Explore the opportunities for a strengthened security sector post Covid-19
