\nAbout ALLY<\/h3>\n
\nThe European Union-funded project Amplifying Leadership of Local Youth in Preventing Violent Extremism in South Asia (ALLY)<\/em> is organising a Young Researchers Programme for 8 youth (two from Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan each). These youth will be trained as a researcher (in data collection and analysis) and will have a key role in data collection, analysis and contributing to the writing of research outputs and their dissemination after the research assignment. In light of improving the narrative for young people among donors, policymakers and peacebuilding practitioners, the goal of the study is to contribute to an increasingly evidence-based approach to policies and programming related to PVE by deepening the existing knowledge base on the positive roles of youth-led civic engagement related to peacebuilding.<\/div>\n
\nThe ALLY project is a youth-sensitive initiative, focused at amplifying the youth voices and actions in addressing diverse factors of violence and Preventing Violent Extremism (PVE) in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, India and Pakistan. The project aims at increasing knowledge of the push and pull factors, enhancing the multidimensional capacity of youth leaders and their strategies, and strengthening multi-stakeholder partnerships to prevent violent extremism in South Asia. The project primarily targets youth as agency-holders and strategic allies to media and decision-makers, to increase outreach for youth-led initiatives and constructive narratives that value the religious, ethnic and cultural diversity of the region. The project contributes to filling the gap of context-specific resources and collaborative regional actions on PVE in South Asia, strengthening not only regional but also national level networks and youth movements.<\/div>\n

\nAbout the Role<\/h3>\n
\nThe purpose of this program is for 8 youth to attend research trainings and contribute to a participatory study into youth leadership that addresses factors of violence and preventing violent extremism in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.<\/div>\n
