The OSCE Programme Office is engaged in strengthening the efforts of the Kyrgyz Government in preventing and countering violent extremism and radicalization that lead to terrorism (VERLT). A long-term strategic approach includes systematic capacity building initiatives and comprehensive in-country training programmes. The programmes aim to enable law enforcement agencies to efficiently address current security concerns. The Programme Office recognizes the role of youth in stemming the threat of VERLT; empowering young men and women as agents of change through conflict prevention and resolution initiatives.
