It focused on the push and pull factors that motivate youth towards involvement in radicalization activities in Mombasa County – Kenya, especially the pull factors of entrepreneurship. Radicalization is a global phenomenon and a growing social problem in many different communities. The overall objective has established the state of radicalization interventions being undertaken in the County with the aim of enabling policy environment to effectively plan and execute youth radicalization related programs that can lead to adaptation and mitigation measures at both the National government, County government, and Civil Society organization levels. We hope the study will strengthen both levels of government and institutional capacities to effectively respond to the challenge of youth radicalization and enhancing target communities' capacity mechanisms and options in the reduction of radicalization levels. The study was undertaken in the six constituencies with representation from all the wards that make up Mombasa County.
