🗨️ “This partnership reflects the simple but important idea that investment in prevention of violent extremism is also an investment in sustainable development,” said @stefanomanservi, Chair of GCERF's Governing Board. Today in New York, on the margins of #UNGA81, GCERF and the @AfDB_Group marked the signing of a Letter of Intent - and, as @GCERF_ED Dr. Khalid Koser highlighted, the beginning of what we hope will become a practical and ambitious partnership. At the heart of it is a simple belief: We cannot separate prevention from development. 🤝 This partnership brings together complementary strengths: The African Development Bank’s scale, development expertise and reach across the continent, and GCERF’s experience in locally led prevention and working closely with communities, civil society and governments. 💐 Thank you to our hosts, partners and colleagues for their commitment to building a more peaceful, resilient and prosperous Africa. 👉 Read the Full Press Release: afdb.org/en/news-and-events/… @AfDB_Group @_AfricanUnion @AUC_PAPS @AfricanUnionUN
