This grant is for the critical purpose of equipping key Iraqi stakeholders with the necessary skills and techniques to effectively identify, prevent, and counter ISIS ideologies. It targets Iraqis returning from Northeast Syria, especially those processed through the Al Amal Rehabilitation Center, as many, including children and adolescents, may subscribe to extremist beliefs. The funding will assist administrators at Al Amal, service providers in local communities, and Government of Iraq personnel in developing robust skill sets. Ultimately, this grant aims to prevent the re-emergence of ISIS, thereby mitigating potential attacks on the U.S. homeland and U.S. persons 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. |
