This project aims to strengthen women's leadership among state and justice institutions across coastal Kenya in preventing or countering violent extremism (P/CVE). It seeks to achieve this through activities that foster institutional and cultural shifts that promote women's inclusion and create an enabling environment for women's leadership in P/CVE. The project aims to strengthen collaboration between women in security and justice roles and local communities. It does so through community security dialogues and specialized P/CVE training for security and justice actors. The project also seeks to provide leadership training and a mentorship program for women in security and justice institutions. These activities aim to build trust, encourage cooperative security measures, and integrate women's perspectives into broader P/CVE strategies.

This phase II project aims to build on the Supporting Women’s Civil Society Organization’s in the Prevention of Violent Extremism program (April 2023 to March 2025) that successfully empowered 30 women-led civil society organizations (CSOs) in the Israr Coalition. It seeks to engage in prevention of violent extremism (PVE) efforts by deepening their capacity to understand and respond to the complex risks and impacts of radicalization to violent extremism. Phase II aims to increase its reach from 30 to 46 women-led CSOs and address additional challenges faced by the Israr Coalition in responding to the risks and needs of women and girls vulnerable to or impacted by involvement in violent extremism. The Global Center seeks to support the Israr Coalition to refine and expand training on gender and PVE across its full membership, equip Coalition members to navigate the challenges and risks associated with delivering training in gender and PVE in community settings, and facilitate avenues of cooperation between government and women-led CSOs on PVE, with an emphasis on trust building and incremental steps that reflect the sensitivity of such efforts in the Moroccan context.

This Project aims to deliver tailored capacity building support to several entities throughout Jordan’s security sector including the Public Security Directorate (PSD), Anti-Narcotics Department (AND), and Special Operations Forces (JORSOF) to enhance their ability to counter threats to Jordan’s security and stability including terrorism and illicit narcotics trafficking. The Project will see CTCBP expand its lines of effort to provide training and specialized equipment to the AND as it works to better understand and counter the flow of narcotics emanating from Syria as this continues to have a destabilizing effect on Jordan and the region more broadly. The Project will also wrap up engagement with the PSD in the field of critical incident response, with the aim of creating a completely sustainable capability within the PSD beyond the Project's life cycle. Finally, the Project will expand ongoing support for JORSOF to continue its efforts to increase the integration of female soldiers into operational roles within its counterterrorism units, particularly in the areas of intelligence gathering and exploitation.
