On May 5th, IMPACT and COAR will present a joint briefing on the situation in NES, covering 1) the main findings from our research and 2) recommendations for P/CVE programs. A panel of outside experts will join key analysts from both organizations to discuss CVE priorities in the region, with a particular focus on the release and reintegration into society of residents from the northeast’s camps. The discussion will center around responding to violent extremism with a locally-driven approach that takes into account the specific gender challenges of the situation. Given the demographic of camp residents and the acute risk that violent extremism will spread as they rejoin communities, both of these focuses will prove crucial to long-term stabilization.

The event will be held in English.
