The overall goal of the project is to: develop the ability of the CVE Center to establish and implement an effective P / CVE strategy and to ensure the full implementation of Measures 5 and 6 of the Albanian National Strategy for Combating Violent Extremism by the Ministries and Relevant agencies.

The specific objectives of the project are:

1. Conducting a research / study to understand the audiences in the territory of the Municipality of Tirana, as one of the hotspots of radicalization in Albania.
