Agreement Date:
Mar 10, 2020 - Mar 31, 2023
Description:
To the Government of the Philippines, and with the full support of the Department of Education (DepEd), the 1001 Nights Program is seen as a powerful tool to prevent violent extremism, build social cohesion, gender equality, and to create a more progressive society in the short- and long-term. The program is also directly aligned with the objectives of the National Commission to Counter Violent Extremism, which outlines the need to implement Peace Education curricula and build capacity to counter extremism.
Within the context of the Counterterrorism Capacity Building Program (CTCBP), the program directly aligns with the following objectives: (1) making youth more resilient to extremist narratives; (2) providing the DepEd with a powerful and effective program that can be scaled for PVE (directly responding to the National Commission on CT’s Peace Education priorities); (3) providing teachers and the DepEd with increased capacity to teach and inculcate values that have a proven track record of reducing vulnerability; and (4) providing the DepEd with Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) instruments that will be used during the program, and can be used thereafter, to identify communities and schools that have high degrees of vulnerability.
