USG @UN_OCT Voronkov stressed in @Strong_Cities #UNGA76 side event that as local actors are often the closest to & most knowledgeable about conditions conducive to the spread of terrorism, they must be close partners & provide impetus for a whole-of-society #PCVE approach.

Absolutely floored by this new German prevention info portal. Even if you don’t speak German, you can get a sense of the scale and scope of the country’s efforts to prevent violent extremism- over 2000 programs searchable here:

At some point the conversation will turn tothe implications for US CT policy: will Afghanistan experience be nail in coffin for seemingly endless US investments in "security" institutions in countries where conditions for local ownership/sustainability are lacking?

[Global Center on Cooperative Security @GlobalCtr]

What does the seventh review of the @UN GCTS reveal about the many challenges that lay ahead for multilateral #counterterrorism and #PVE efforts?

The future direction of the GCTF deserves attention but the need for such an informal, action-oriented platform focused on the civilian side of #CT and facilitating more dynamic cooperation, including with cities and civil society, is more important than ever.

[Eric Rosand @RosandEric]

See this @USIP report on future of @theGCTF for another perspective. https://t.co/Ga0IJj0ER6

[Eric Rosand @RosandEric]

Always a fan of writings about @theGCTF, which was created to facilitate more international cooperation & capacity building on civilian #CT and on #CVE & create more opportunities for western & non western countries to work together on these issues.

[Eric Rosand @RosandEric]

#NorthMacedonia has a comprehensive framework to address this situation: time to ensure its effective implementation - coordinated international support key: @theGCERF @Strong_Cities @UNmigration https://t.co/T2MkKrKut8
