Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism (P/CVE) programs are implemented in a range of ways by a range of actors in many different contexts. Primarily P/CVE programs seek to increase social inclusion and cohesion, build resilient communities, address root causes that lead to exclusion and radicalisation and promote effective counter narratives.

A wider view of P/CVE is more holistic and includes border management, women’s empwoerment, economic development, legislative change, advocacy, misinformation and education.
