| Summary: | The report provides the first primary
research conducted in Tajikistan by the World Bank Group
(WBG) to analyze the youth, gender and local dimensions of
radicalization and recruitment by VE groups, helping fill a
gap in such analysis and evidence. It is based on
qualitative research conducted across Tajikistan in 2018 and
builds on the government of Tajikistan's official
statistics as well as existing literature on socio-economic
conditions and violent extremism in the country. The
research provided critical inputs to three projects under
the Resilience Strengthening Program (RSP3) which is
supported by the IDA-18 Risk Mitigation Regime through a
contribution close to US100 million dollars. In particular,
this study informed the design of the 37 million dollars
Socio-Economic Resilience Strengthening Project, an
intervention that focuses on vulnerable communities and
youth groups along border areas with Afghanistan. This
report also seeks to contribute to the global understanding
of radicalization and violent extremism, particularly in the
context of the first pillar of the WBG Strategy for
Fragility, Conflict and Violence 2020-2025 focusing on
preventing violent conflict and interpersonal violence. |
