The Global Center will work with partners from South and Central Asia to develop five to eight pilot preventing/countering violent extremism (P/CVE) initiatives that offer contextually tailored and locally resonant responses to the threat of violent extremism in the region. The initiatives will be selected through a competitive application process and regional partners will have the primary responsibility for developing and implementing the initiatives in consultation with the Global Center. This project is being undertaken against the backdrop of efforts to advance the action agenda outlined by international partners at the White House Summit on Countering Violent Extremism in February 2015.
