Fiscal Year 2020 Past Fiscal Year: Actual PREACT programs prevent terrorist recruitment and reduce sympathy and support for violent extremism in East Africa by offering positive alternatives to communities at risk of radicalization and mobilization to violence; countering violent extremist narratives and messaging; and increasing partner-nation and civil society political will and capacity to implement CVE programs and strategies. Programming addresses threats associated with al Shabaab as well as other violent extremist groups in East Africa. Programs focus on vulnerable or marginalized groups that are particularly susceptible to recruitment by violent extremist groups, especially youth, and build their sense of civic engagement and social responsibility. Additionally, programs build the capacity of civil society organizations, faith leaders, educators, and other credible voices from across the region to start conversations that foster mutual understanding and cooperation between individuals from diverse religious, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds and share best practices. Programs also support engagement with law enforcement, including to build trust and develop response systems to threats from violent extremist organizations.
