Youth in karak Conduct a Needs Assessment Exercise to Present Findings to Policy Makers

The youth group shadowing the Local Prevention Network in Karak -a Strong Cities Network model - conducted a needs assessment in order to present pertinent evidence, findings and recommendations to the relevant policy makers, on which they hope the decision makers will plan, programme and implement PVE activities in Karak. 

The Strong Cities Network, led by the Institute of Strategic Dialogue (ISD), was launched at the United Nations in September 2015. It is the first ever global network of mayors, municipal-level policy makers and practitioners united in building social cohesion and community resilience to counter violent extremism in all its forms.

The network is comprised of more than 140 cities across 45 countries. The network catalyses, inspires and multiplies community-centric approaches and action to counter violent extremism through peer learning and expert training. It operates with a set of fundamental principles, agreed by all members that protect and promote human rights and civil liberties in all aspects of its work to prevent violent extremism.
