PCVE (Preventing & Countering Violent Extremism)
Violent extremism threatens peace, security, and development in Somalia. At YIA Baidoa, we believe that empowering youth and communities with knowledge, opportunities, and resilience is the most effective way to counter the drivers of extremism. Our PCVE initiatives focus on prevention through education, dialogue, and inclusion.
