The U.S. Department of State is offering this grant to address the challenge of ISIS ideology among Iraqis returning from Northeast Syria (NES), particularly those rehabilitating at Al Amal Center. This grant is for the purpose of empowering administrators at Al Amal, local community service providers, and Government of Iraq (GOI) personnel. It aims to develop essential skill sets and techniques required to effectively identify, prevent, and counter ISIS ideologies within these returnee populations. A significant proportion of these returnees, including children and adolescents from al Hol and Roj camps, may hold extremist views. By building this capacity, the initiative seeks to prevent the re-emergence of ISIS and mitigate potential threats to U.S. homeland security, personnel, and facilities overseas.

| Description: | Iraqis returning from northeast Syria (NES) via Al Amal Rehabilitation Center, formerly known as Jeddah-1 or J1, in the coming year are likely to include a larger proportion of individuals who subscribe to some degree of ISIS ideology, including children and adolescents who have grown up in the al Hol and Roj displaced persons camps. Administrators at Al Amal, service providers in local communities, and Government of Iraq (GOI) personnel need assistance in developing the necessary skill sets and techniques to effectively identify, prevent, and counter ISIS ideology among returnees from NES to prevent the reemergence of ISIS and mitigate potential attacks on the U.S. homeland and U.S. persons and facilities overseas. |
