Methodology
This non-exhaustive donor mapping is periodically carried out through the means of a web search of donor databases and interviews with donors in the six countries covered. The projects were selected on the basis of their alignment with one of three categories related to P/CVE activities. The categories were selected based on a combination of empirical understanding of violent extremism and contextual factors that were identified as relevant in Elva‘s data collection process. The findings were corroborated by interviews with embassies, delegations and implementing agencies across the six countries.
- Category A - Projects addressing hard security challenges and providing support to local security actors
- Category B - Projects combining hard and soft approaches with prevention or countering of violent extremism as their core objective
- Category C - Projects addressing (socio-economic, justice and governance) factors that can serve as underlying causes or inhibitors of violent extremism
Since a number of development projects can be identified as relevant in addressing the root causes of extremism, we adopted a narrow search criteria by selecting Category C projects that either state P/CVE as a project objective or address context-specific underlying causes in border communities. Some initiatives are excluded from the mapping due to lack of complete project information or the activity being a part of structural support of a foreign diplomatic mission in the country, without specified budgets and start/end dates for their programming.
If you would like to submit a relevant project to expand the current mapping, you can do so via the submission button. The existing data can also be downloaded from the portal in a CSV format for your own use. The data is updated periodically. For any questions about the dashboard, please contact [email protected]
