UNDP Prevention of Violent Extremism

Violent Extremism is a global phenomenon. It requires global solutions. #PVE

Who we are

Since 2014, UNDP has built a cohesive practice on Preventing Violent Extremism (PVE) - including the reintegration of foreign terrorist fighters - in more than 40 countries as part of the Conflict Prevention, Peacebuilding and Responsive Institutions (CPPRI) Global Programme. The Global PVE Team at the Crisis Bureau in New York supports and advances these efforts through thought leadership, research and evidence-based policy development. UNDP welcomes practitioners across the UN, Civil Society, Member States, Private Sector and the public to discover development solutions which build on people’s agency to create avenues for enhanced community resilience, ultimately building and sustaining peace.
