KPSRL & IDLO to Host – KPAC23: Margins | Centres of Security & Rule of Law

Who gets to interpret, evaluate, shape, think about, and write about social contracts? Who gets to make decisions on the role and contribution of security and the rule of law within them? Which experiences, perspectives, and stories are systematically made (in)visible, or politically (ir)relevant for SRoL policy and programming?

In follow-up of the Knowledge Platform Annual Conference in Nairobi (KPAC23) both The Hague Humanity Hub members KPSRL and IDLO are hosting KPAC23 which will discuss the contribution of SRoL policy and programming to social contracts using the lens of Margins | Centres. The centres are the spaces in which one can define and shape a dominant interpretation of a particular issue and, if relevant, prioritise individual and public action, while the those within the margins follow those interpretations and agenda-setting.

Event Aims:

➡ Uptake of recommendations and conclusions from KPAC23 in Nairobi, by translating these to the policy and INGO realities in The Hague
➡ Identifying possible points of divergence between discussions in Nairobi and The Hague and what needs to happen to bring these closer to each other. This should be fed back to KPAC23 Nairobi participants too
➡ Making voices heard in The Hague from those that normally can’t access KPAC – so in this case predominantly the East Africa region
➡ Connect partners in The Hague
➡ Providing accountability towards the Nairobi event
