- Description
- Preventing Violent Extremism in Central Asia There are a number of motivations that drive people from Central Asia to travel to fight for ISIS or for other violent extremist organizations (VEOs) in a foreign country or to carry out terrorist attacks in third countries. In addition, these individuals may then return to Central Asia and continue their engagement with extremist groups. At the same time, recruitment may be occurring within Central Asia to join violent extremist groups or undertake individual extremist acts at home with little or no intention of traveling to fight in other regions. While some of the motivating factors for joining an extremist group are generally accepted, they are supported by varying levels of evidence, with insufficient knowledge of how their relevance may differ between distinct communities within and among countries in the region. A key purpose of the activity(ies) expected to result through collaboration in this Addendum is to generate new evidence and validate existing theories about why people adopt violent extremist ideologies and/or provide support to VEOs. Some of the questions being considered for further investigation or validation include: - What are the different pathways that people take as they become radicalized? What are the common features across these different pathways? - What are the key intervention points along these pathways for preventing vulnerable people from being radicalized or providing support to extremist organizations? - What interventions are most effective in preventing, detecting, and mitigating support for violent extremist organizations? - Which subsets of the population are most vulnerable to influence by violent extremist organizations? How do the factors and pathways of radicalization vary across these subsets? - What obstacles do development partners (for example, USAID, other donors, government officials, civil society organizations, etc.) need to overcome to reach the most vulnerable populations, especially in socially isolated or closed communities?
