Communities First: A Blueprint for Organizing and Sustaining a Global Movement Against Violent Extremism
Abstract
The threat of violent extremism is more geographically dispersed and more localized than ever, yet the security-focused and other responses of national governments and multilateral institutions have not been and will not be sufficient to counter and prevent its spread. A more comprehensive and strategic approach that empowers local actors and focuses more attention on community-led interventions to address underlying drivers of the phenomenon is required. The Prevention Project was launched in March 2016 to gather from, develop with, and disseminate to the ever-expanding group of P/CVE stakeholders practical guidance on overcoming these challenges and allowing for the development and implementation of the community-focused solutions required to prevent the spread of violent extremism. The actionable recommendations contained in this report draw on the experiences and expertise of a wide range of policymakers, practitioners, and civil society leaders and have been informed by a series of consultations, roundtables, and workshops organized by or involving The Prevention Project team and engaging a diversity of stakeholders.
