Promote and increase the inclusion of women and youth in programs that contribute to peace and security policies, strategy development and dialogue. Related areas include preventing violent extremism, peacebuilding, social cohesion, and transitional justice.
Increase the ability of at-risk communities to access government-funded livelihoods and economic and transitional justice programmes.
Strengthen the role of the private sector in preventing violent extremism by providing internships, coaching, and other economic opportunities for at-risk youth.
Promote social cohesion and reduce tension by promoting dialogue, diversity and coexistence activities between different groups. For example: reaching isolated community members for inclusion in PVE and social cohesion activities, as well as activities that cross gaps between rural and urban youth, between generations, youth in school versus youth out of school, victims of ISIS, and families with assumed affiliation to ISIS.
Increasing trust, transparency, and dialogue between communities at risk and local authorities, including security agencies.
Address real or perceived feelings of discrimination, nepotism, and marginalization in local communities by promoting reintegration efforts and creating dialogue between government and society on recovery and reconstruction. For example, through the use of the arts and sports to promote community cohesion.
Increasing the availability of youth-focused services, such as peer mentoring for at-risk youth, extra-curricular activities for both in- and out-of-school youth, sports and cultural activities that bring different groups of youth together, and non-formal education for out-of-school youth.
Raising awareness on PVE and drivers of violent extremism through targeted outreach to community leaders and/or community-level awareness campaigns on local plans to counter violent extremism.
