This grant, offered by the Global Engagement Center’s Counterterrorism (CT) Division, is for strategic communications initiatives aimed at discrediting Violent Extremist Organizations (VEOs). The primary purpose of this grant is to undermine VEO leaders, their methods, and their narratives, thereby degrading their capacity to recruit new members, supporters, and sympathizers. Submissions are specifically sought for projects focusing on the GEC CT Division’s FY22 priority regions, which include East Africa and South and Central Asia. However, proposals addressing counterterrorism strategic communications in all other geographic areas will also be given consideration. This initiative supports the broader goal of weakening extremist influence through targeted communication strategies.
