This project aims to build more resilient communities in Iraq from Daesh, in particular the governorates of Anbar and Ninewah, in order to counter the violent and sectarian narratives advanced by Daesh or/and other violent extremist organizations. The project works to provide front-line educators, educational institutions, and parents, with the tools necessary to address the exposure to violent extremism that Iraqi youth had during Daesh control. The project also engages key stakeholders, including women’s organizations, civil society, customary and local governance actors, to participate in efforts to prevent recruitment by violent non-state armed actors and mitigate the risk of radicalization in the two governorates.
