Today, we join the global community in marking the International Day for the Prevention of Violent Extremism — a reminder that peace must be protected at every level: in our homes, our communities, and increasingly, in our digital spaces.
Here in Tanzania, UNDP is doing its part through the Dumisha Amani Project – Promoting Peace and Security for Sustainable Development.
From strengthening local conflict‑resolution systems to empowering youth with digital literacy and training community peace champions, the project is building resilience where it matters most.
This year’s theme, “Preventing Violent Extremism in the Age of New and Emerging Technologies,” highlights a growing truth: extremists exploit digital platforms, but so can we — to unite, educate, and uplift.
Together, we can create a Tanzania where every community thrives in peace.

That left a "364-day information gap" for decision-makers. 📉
