Grant Description

Moderate Voices (MOVO) project will aim to amplify moderate voices of peace and tolerance as part of a broader effort to reduce vulnerability to violent extremism in the Sahel.

MOVO will seek to achieve this goal by strengthening positive local narratives, expanding access to information, and increasing dialogue and exchange on CVE and peace concepts.

Learning from interventions, communities, and events and adapting new approaches based on that learning will be a critical component of MOVO.

The project will blend media-development approaches with strategic communications and behavior change programming, leveraging both new and traditional media to reach populations most at risk to violent extremism in West Africa.
