The regional program on Preventing Violent Extremism in Central Asia (PREVECA) is funded by the German Foreign Office. It is operating in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan under a joint logical framework umbrella, but with bespoke country component programs. PREVECA aims to add a preventive perspective to the existing practices of countering extremism and terrorism in Central Asia.
In Tajikistan, the project has started to work in March 2022. It works with the General Prosecutor’s Office as its main partner organization as well as with other relevant Ministries, Government agencies, local civil society organizations and subject matter experts.
The activities of PREVECA Tajikistan support the implementation of the Strategy on Countering Extremism and Terrorism in the Republic of Tajikistan for the period 2021-25. The project works at the regional, national and local levels with a focus on three domains:
- Creation of a regional expert network in Central Asia
- Qualification and capacity building of the personnel of relevant government agencies at national and local levels
- Preventive measures aimed at vulnerable groups.
