Deadline: 1 May 2017
The UNDP Regional Support Centre for Africa (RSC), Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, is inviting applications from eligible entities to indicate their interest in undertaking research project(s) on “Disrupting the Corruption Chains in Radicalization and Violent Extremism in Africa”.
The growth of violent extremism that we are facing all across Africa is strictly interrelated with corruption. Acting often as an incubator for the growth of organized crime, violence and youth radicalization, corruption constitutes an enabling factor for such extremist ideologies. By eliciting a profound sense of moral outrage, undermining trust in the political system and facilitating the operations of VE organizations on the ground, corruption paves the road for youth engagement in VE activities.
A key component of the programme is to strengthen research and to ensure that regional and national policies and programming are informed by research and analysis on violent extremism. This will help informing strategies and the harmonization of policies, with anticorruption policies playing a key-role, to prevent violent extremism.
Eligibility Criteria
