Kenya develops National Guidelines to tackle digital disinformation and hate speech (UNESCO)

An expert review session on the proposed National Guidelines of Practice on Disinformation and Hate Speech was held on March 12, 2025, by the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC). In order to preserve the constitutional liberties protected by Article 33 of Kenya’s 2010 Constitution, which guarantees freedoms of expression and information access, recommendations seek to give explicit standards for advancing online information integrity. The project is backed by UNESCO’s EU-funded Social Media 4Peace initiative, which uses digital technologies to defend freedom of expression and advance peace while enhancing societies’ resistance to harmful content on the internet, especially hate speech that incites violence.
