-
conduct and advance behavioural research to better understand the factors contributing to violent extremism and terrorism;

provide capacity-building assistance to Member States, regional organisations and civil society partners to develop and implement programmes, projects and initiatives that integrate behavioural insights to counter terrorism; and
-
promote advocacy, outreach and partnerships to share knowledge, expertise, experiences and lessons learned on behaviourally informed counter-terrorism interventions.
The International Hub will leverage the expertise of local, regional and international counter-terrorism actors, and enhance programming cooperation and coordination with the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Coordination Compact entities operating in the field for impactful and “all-of-UN” programme delivery on behavioural insights to counter terrorism. The Hub is led by the Chief of the Programme Office and consists of (i) the Office of the Chief of the Programme Office, (ii) Research and Best Practices Unit, (iii) Capacity-Building Unit, and (iv) Advocacy and Partnerships Unit.
