| Overview : In light of the ever-growing terrorist threat in Africa, it became increasingly clear that security measures alone cannot holistically respond to the contemporary nature of terrorist groups. Anchored in a belief that responses must be multidimensional, this project seeks to advance whole-of-government and whole-of-society responses in curbing the spread of terrorism, by means of enhancing comprehensive and holistic approaches in addressing the terrorist threat and leveraging the role of local communities, especially women community leaders in preventing radicalization and extremism leading to terrorism. As such, the project aims to achieve its objectives by strengthening and building African capacities through a tailored range of activities.
This project will aim at achieving the following:
Outcome 1: Enhance comprehensive and holistic approaches that leverage African pillars of resilience to address terrorism.
Outcome 2: Enhance the role of local community leaders in Preventing Radicalization and Extremism Leading to Terrorism (PRELT), with a special emphasis on the role of women community leaders. |
