At the helm of the new initiative is Nina Hachigian, the first US special representative for city and state diplomacy.
Hachigian and her team have been fielding queries from local leaders looking to engage with foreign officials in their cities or abroad trib.al/u15L9r3
Perhaps even TRANSform the #pcve agenda... in most cases the threats are hyper local and emerging from within local communities... not external! Mayors need a seat at the table when national policymakers are debating how best to address this threat. @Strong_Cities
The voice is cutting across the globe; without a doubt there is consensus that Cities do have a role in the PCVE Agenda. Local practice must inform National Strategies. Congratulations #WesternBalkansRegionalHub #Sarajevo #nationalgov @Strong_Cities @CLGF @jumuiya @SADC_News

3/5 🇲🇰 Jetmir Asani, Čair Municipality's Head of Council, shared that, previously, “#extremism and #prevention were taboo topics ... with the help of @Strong_Cities we have understood the importance and the necessity to work on these topics in our municipality.”

The UK's counter-terror scheme, Prevent, has been criticised for placing too much emphasis on right-wing extremism, while failing to tackle Islamist extremism. So is the scheme fit for purpose? @EmsWinterbotham explores this further here: bit.ly/3XkRMD8
Amen! Now the question for policymakers is does the strategy for reducing the threat of violent extremism in Africa prioritize finding ways address to address the "lack of hope & opportunity..."? Or does it actually do the opposite? Which UN body can do research on this? @UNDP
Preventing violent extremism means addressing root causes & strengthening good governance.
@UNDP’s new report shows that while people travel different routes, often the #JourneyToExtremism involves lack of hope & opportunity - from jobs to justice.

Great to be in #Addis for @AfricaACSS + @AU_ACSRT r/t on integrated responses to P/CVE in east/southern Africa with @Strong_Cities #ESA Hub lead @EastGovernments + member cities including @CityofCT #mogadishu. Bringing #local govt voices to #regional table!
And articulating a new public-facing strategy for addressing terrorist threats as they exist today. And having in place a senate-confirmed @StateDeptCT Coordinator to promote it among & get buy-in from int'l partners. And downsizing massive multilateral CT ecosystem.

The big question is whether the policymakers care about what the research reveals to be the drivers of violent extremism... that would be worth researching and understanding why they too often ignore the evidence. #PreventionProject @Rusi_Terrorism
🧵An end-of-year thread!

The Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS has invested heavily in strategic communications. However, the evidence that any of these efforts have their desired impact is weak, says @KingsCollegeLon's #XCEPT team. bit.ly/3vaPdYN @NafeesHamid @ICSR_Centre @warstudies
