MID-TERM EVALUATION OF USAID‘S COUNTER-EXTREMISM PROGRAMMING IN AFRICA

Counter Terrorism VE

Based on a review of quantitative and qualitative information and data from the Trans-Sahara Counterterrorism Partnership (TSCTP), it can be concluded that USAID‘s Niger, Chad and Mali programs have had some positive impact – most strikingly on lower-level programmatic goals such as civic engagement and listenership for USAID-sponsored radio. Results on higher-level goals, measured through surveys on attitudes towards extremism, were also positive in the aggregate but less dramatic.
