As an initial step in implementing Countering Violent Extremism and Promoting Community Engagement in West Africa and the Sahel: An Action Agenda, outlining a range of proposed activities to enhance countering violent extremism efforts in West Africa and the Sahel, CGCC has developed a project titled “Assessment of the Drivers of Insecurity and Violent Extremism in Burkina Faso.” The assessment will serve as a basis for the development of projects and programming in Burkina Faso that advance the goal of preventing the emergence of violent extremism, advance social cohesion, and preserve Burkina’s historical stability against this evolving threat.
