This grant is for the purpose of enhancing counterterrorism capabilities in Tajikistan, a critical Central Asian nexus where ISIS-K seeks to exploit vulnerabilities for recruitment and illicit cross-border activities. Despite risks from rugged borders and illicit movement, the primary terrorist threat is the potential for groups to inspire and organize attacks. This project will develop early detection strategies for at-risk communities, focusing on frontier localities, to detect, report, and respond to illicit trends. By building Tajikistan’s capacity for early interdiction of terrorist activity at its source, this initiative directly contributes to safeguarding America’s borders and national security against evolving threats in the region.

| Description: | Tajikistan is a critical counterterrorism nexus in Central Asia, a region ISIS-K seeks to exploit for recruitment and illicit cross-border activities. Despite vulnerabilities caused by Tajikistan’s remote and rugged borders, which create risks of illicit movement, it appears the greatest terrorist risk to the region and U.S. security lies in the potential of terrorist groups to inspire, recruit, and organize Central Asians to commit attacks. This project seeks to develop early detection strategies for at-risk communities to detect, report, and respond to illicit trends and activities, with a focus in frontier localities. In doing so, this project builds Tajikistan’s capability to interdict terrorist activity and movement through early detection, responding to terrorist activity at the source to protect America’s borders and security. |
