Violent extremism and radicalisation starts at the grassroots and feeds off the fractures in society caused by local perceptions of injustice and socioeconomic exclusion.
Preventing it needs us to be where the extremists are, at the coalface building community resilience to incitement and false promises.
Resilience can be described as the internal capacity of societies to withstand threats and crises on their own rather than through external interventions.
Albany works with civil society to identify and help resolve local needs and grievances, mobilise authentic voices and build local capacity and self-reliance.
