Preventing Extremism in Fragile States with Nancy Lindborg
Channel: United States Institute of Peace
Date: 23/04/2019

On the BBC program "Beyond 100 Days," U.S. Institute of Peace President Nancy Lindborg, a member of the Task Force on Extremism in Fragile States, discusses recommendations for preventing extremism in fragile states. She joined the BBC news program following coordinated terror attacks at multiple locations in Sri Lanka. 

Congress charged USIP, an independent, bipartisan leader in reducing and preventing conflict, with convening The Task Force on Extremism in Fragile States. The Task Force has developed a proposal for a new cost-effective, evidence-based, and coordinated preventive approach. Modest U.S. investments—if they are strategic, coordinated, well-timed, and sustained—can empower communities over time to better resist extremism on their own and motivate international donors to support this cause.

The United States Institute of Peace is an independent national institute, founded by Congress and dedicated to the proposition that a world without violent conflict is possible, practical, and essential for U.S. and global security. USIP pursues this vision on the ground in conflict zones, working with local partners to prevent conflicts from turning to bloodshed and to end it when they do. The Institute provides training, analysis, and other resources to people, organizations, and governments working to build peace.
