The Global Center seeks to achieve lasting security by advancing inclusive, human rights–based policies, partnerships, and practices that address the root causes of violent extremism. We provide independent analysis and work with government, civil society, and private sector partners to deliver programming that is globally informed and locally grounded. From our offices in New York, Washington, London, Brussels, and Nairobi, we work with a global network of experts, trainers, fellows, and policy professionals to deliver programming across four areas:
Criminal Justice and Rule of Law
Financial Integrity and Inclusion
Multilateral Security Policy

Since 2004, the Global Center has been doing just that; we have delivered over 250 projects, engaging more than 50 countries and working with hundreds of government, private sector, and civil society partners to address the root causes of violent extremism.
