Building belonging, not broadcasting fear.
Awareness campaigns alone do not protect young people. What protects them is opportunity, respected adults who know them by name, and a genuine stake in community life.
CEPI works with youth, faith leaders and local government together — so that a young person at risk is met with support and a referral pathway rather than suspicion.
Marginalised youth are vulnerable to recruitment narratives when they lack opportunity, voice and belonging.
We build resilience through youth leadership, civic engagement and trusted local relationships rather than fear-based messaging.
Young people, faith leaders and local government in high-risk districts
Morogoro · Dar es Salaam · Tanga
Peer-led groups give young people a public role and a voice in local decisions.
Faith and community leaders are equipped to recognise and respond to risk.
Referral routes connect at-risk individuals to livelihood, education and support services.
Evidence from each district shapes what we scale and what we stop doing.
Stronger youth civic participation and reduced vulnerability to extremist recruitment.
CEPI youth programme facilitator, Morogoro
