The Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations’ Countering Violent Extremism Baselines Program is a multi-country research initiative to identify and monitor key subnational indicators of violent extremism (VE) and community resilience. Implemented in partnership with Management Systems International, the program enables the U.S. Government (USG), partner governments, and civil society to better understand and respond to changing VE dynamics.
