Summary "Violent extremism expresses itself in different ways, depending on the context, and can manifest itself at every level and across every dimension of societies. In order to be innovative and context-specific, therefore, efforts to prevent violent extremism and invest in peace need to be grounded in joint and collaborative action between communities and local, national, regional, and international institutions. o promote regional conversations around such efforts in the Sahel-Sahara, the International Peace Institute (IPI), the United Nations, and the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs co-organized a regional seminar in N'Djamena, Chad, on May 31 and June 1, 2017. This meeting brought together more than 100 participants from fourteen countries and dozens of regional and international organizations to discuss the prevention of violent extremism from a regional perspective. This followed similar conversations organized in Dakar in June 2016 and a previous seminar in Tunis in November 2015." -- International Peace Institute web site

"August 2017"
"Arthur Boutellis, Delphine Mechoulan, and Aïssata Athie of IPI's Brian Urquhart Center for Peace Operations supervised substantive preparations for the seminar. Delphine Mechoulan and Marie-Joëlle Zahar drafted this report, which reflects their interpretation of the discussions and does not necessarily reflect the views of all participants."
"This seminar was co-organized in N'Djamena, Chad, from May 31 to June 1, 2017, by IPI, the United Nations, and the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs. Over 100 participants from fourteen countries in northern, western, and central Africa and ten regional and international organizations as well as a number of independent experts participated in the discussion around the issue of violent extremism from a regional perspective. These conversations were a follow-up to discussions that took place in Dakar, Senegal, in June 2016."
