The “Socio-Economic and Community Resilience for the Prevention of Violent Extremism in Ninewa, Anbar, and Salah al-Din” project funded by UNDP aims to improve human security and stability through socio-economic support to the most vulnerable groups including host communities, returnees, IDPs, and youth at risk of violent extremism, while focusing on women.  

Key actions
