GCERF (Global Community Engagement and Resilience Fund) is a global brand dedicated to preventing violent extremism. They connect local communities to global resources, supporting grassroots initiatives that are typically out of reach for international donors, and helping them thrive. GCERF operates in various regions, including the Sahel Region (Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger) and the Western Balkans Region (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia).

Their work involves a comprehensive process that includes identifying vulnerable communities, finding and funding community-based organizations, building capacity, connecting with partners, and monitoring progress. GCERF's initiatives align with national priorities and respond to local needs, with a focus on gender responsiveness, youth leadership, and setting international standards in preventing violent extremism. By investing in GCERF, donors support a flexible funding model, country ownership, capacity-strengthening, and the advancement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
