Structure

There are currently five Working Groups, three of which are thematic (Countering Violent Extremism; Foreign Terrorist Fighters; and Criminal Justice and the Rule of Law) and two which are focused on regional capacity-building (Capacity-building in the East Africa Region and Capacity-building in the West Africa Region).

Activities

All Working Groups seek to identify relevant civilian counterterrorism challenges and capacity gaps or needs; consider activities to address these gaps or needs; and mobilize political will, financial resources, and expertise to implement those activities.
