Research, Knowledge & Publications
Research, publications, conferences and partnerships on children affected by parental incarceration in Kenya.
Evidence, ethics and partnership
Our research looks closely at the lives of children affected by parental incarceration, and at the systems around them: families, schools, prisons, social protection and justice.
Through research, documentation and knowledge exchange, we seek to inform more responsive programmes, policy discussions and advocacy, and to bring these children's experiences into focus.
