Bio
Harouna Abdoulaye is President of the Community Coalition for Peace and the Promotion of Living Together (COPAVE). He has more than 20 years experience in development, humanitarian governance, and social cohesion programming. Since 2014, he has been involved in efforts to confront and address the challenges that lead to violent extremism, and other destabilizing conflicts such as the stigmatization of ethnic groups. He is currently implementing the Voices for Peace (V4P) activity. V4P is a West African project designed to build local community resilience to violent extremism (VE) narratives by tapping into a vast array of local actors and resources, including community radio stations, civil society actors, as well as young influencers, and community leaders from various ethnic and social backgrounds. Abdoulaye participated as a panelist at the General Assembly of the United Nations on ‘Rehabilitation and Reintegration of Formerly-Violent Extremist,’ participated actively in a virtual event on Civil Society Reflections on the 2021 Report of the UN Secretary-General on the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, served on a virtual panel discussion on Priorities for the Incoming U.S. Administration in Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism Domestically and Abroad, and participated in a virtual event on The Future of Multilateralism: Opportunities and Challenges in Counterterrorism Efforts. Abdoulaye is also a facilitator with the group UFacilitate on community mobilization and conflict management.
