Analytica is pleased to announce that starting from September 2015 will be implementing the research project “Assessment of Macedonia’s efforts in countering violent extremism, view from civil society”. The duration of the project will be 12 months and it includes desktop and field research activities.

The overall goal of the project is to contribute to the Macedonian efforts in countering violent extremism by producing a policy study that would analyse country’s progress in addressing the challenges stemming from the increased number of foreign fighters going to Syria and Iraq.

Support the national authorities and other stakeholders in planning and decision-making by providing in-depth analysis on trends, patterns and local specifics when it comes to Macedonian citizens fighting in Syria and Iraq.
