TOWARDS MORE EFFECTIVE HUMAN SECURITY APPROACHES IN THE CONTEXT OF THE EMERGING THREAT OF VIOLENT EXTREMISM IN JORDAN, LEBANON, AND TUNISIA

The field work examined local perceptions in 6 communities in Tunisia (Ben Guerdene, Carthage, D.Hicher, Djerba, Menzel Bourguiba and Teboursouk). The qualitative findings drew from 12 workshops, 7 focus group discussions (FGDs), and 55 stakeholders’ interviews, and a policy lab with a total of 581 participants in Tunisia. The research sample includes government officials, security actors, community leaders, civil society representatives, and international organizations. The project develops a Theory of Change to align human security programming with efforts to prevent violent extremism, taking into account the impact of traditional security policies on these efforts. This dataset includes all raw data from Tunisia, and is in Arabic and English.
