Initiatives

GCTF Members, independently or jointly with another GCTF Member or a non-member partner, can launch standalone Initiatives to foster dialogue among stakeholders and/or to develop an outcome document. Initiatives address identified (emerging) counterterrorism gaps or needs that are priority themes of a GCTF Working Group or are currently not addressed by one of the GCTF Working Groups. They build on existing GCTF Framework Documents and are presented to a meeting of the Coordinating Committee.
