There are currently six Working Groups, four of which are thematic (Criminal Justice and the Rule of Law; Countering Violent Extremism; Foreign Terrorist Fighters; and Detention and Reintegration) and two which are geographic, focusing on capacity-building in the key regions of the Sahel and the Horn of Africa.
The existence and configuration of GCTF Working Groups is reviewed periodically by the Coordinating Committee to ensure that the GCTF is positioning itself strategically to address the most pressing and urgent counterterrorism and capacity-building needs.
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.
