The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) Center of Excellence for Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism (ICEPCVE) and the East Africa Civil Society Organizations Hub (CSO Hub) partner together and collaborate with key national, regional, and international actors to achieve the shared objective of deepening community resilience to prevent and counter violent extremism (P/CVE) in the East and Horn of Africa region.
ICEPCVE is a regional platform for training, coordination, and connectivity, as well as for knowledge sharing, community and civil society organization (CSO) engagement, strategic communication, and research on P/CVE for government and civil society actors in the Eastern and Horn of Africa region. ICEPCVE has a mandate to “facilitate the building of partnerships between governments, NGOs, civil society, and sub-national actors.”
The CSO Hub aims to support and deepen regional civil society networks, strengthen programming capacities, and develop a representative voice for civil society to engage with governments and regional and international bodies on the development of P/CVE policies and programs. The Global Center on Cooperative Security (Global Center) facilitates the CSO Hub, with initial support from the Government of the Netherlands.
