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.

@AusHCKenya SYLO is a program that uniquely addresses the problematic police-youth relationship using conflict transformation and restorative justice approaches to heal, restore and propagate a healthy human rights based law enforcement relationship.

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 @AusHCKenya.
