Supporting Families in Countering Violent Extremism in Nigeria

This publication showcases the results of Hedayah’s program on Supporting Families in Countering Violent Extremism in Nigeria conducted during 2019-2022 in partnership with Neem Institute.

Through a series of capacity-building workshops, the program aimed to contribute towards overall peacebuilding efforts in Northeast Nigeria through enhancing the capacities of 26 recipients from the states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa to include 19 community-based organization practitioners and 7 community leaders in order to engage and support families and communities whose members are either vulnerable to, or affected by radicalization at different levels such as survivors, returnees and former violent extremist offenders.
