GLOBAL CENTER ON COOPERATIVE SECURITY

Preventing violent extremism: we foster partnerships between civil society, governments, the private sector, and multilateral institutions to collaboratively address terrorism. In 2024, we continued to provide pilot funding and capacity development support to civil societyorganizations on community resilience, peacebuilding, conflict prevention, and rehabilitation and reintegration across africa and south and southeast asia. In the maghreb, we facilitated a network of regional experts to produce localized research on the drivers of violent extremism, returning foreign fighters, and transnational organized crime networks. We developed a toolkit on gender-responsive approaches to counterterrorism, which will be used in a new initiative with practitioners in the philippines. Drawing on our programs, we hosted a series of roundtable events to connect national experts with policymakers at the united nations ("un"). Our sixth independent review of the un's counterterrorism efforts and entities was published, and we are continuing to lead global consultations on an independent mechanism for civil society to engage with the un.
