About GCERF:
The Global Community Engagement and Resilience Fund
(GCERF) is a multi-stakeholder global fund that works with local partners to
strengthen community resilience to violent extremism. GCERF directs resources
to initiatives led by and benefiting local communities.
GCERF focuses on local communities because they suffer
the most from violent extremism, and because they are optimally placed to
understand and act upon the drivers of violent extremism. GCERF’s work is
anchored in the Sustainable Development Goals, in particular Goal 16 “Peace,
Justice and Strong Institutions.” GCERF is also committed to the UN Global
Counter-Terrorism Strategy (2006) and the UN Plan of Action to Prevent Violent
Extremism (2016).
GCERF is currently active in 9 countries: Bangladesh,
Kenya, Kosovo, Mali, Nigeria, the Philippines, Somalia, Sri Lanka, and Tunisia
and soon in Albania and Northern Macedonia. As a multi-stakeholder global fund,
GCERF provides a political and resource mobilisation focal point for the
international community; extends access within and across countries threatened
by violent extremism; promotes innovation; and serves as a repository of
expertise.
By strengthening communities’ resilience, GCERF
promotes peaceful and inclusive societies, and enables sustainable development.
