Counter-Radicalization and Faith-Based Organizations

On December 11, 2008, the Post-Conflict Reconstruction (PCR) Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and the United States Institute for Peace (USIP) sponsored a discussion by Dr. Hany El Banna, president of the Humanitarian Forum and founder of Islamic Relief Worldwide, on counter-radicalization and faith-based organizations. The discussion was moderated by Daniel Brumberg of USIP. In 2007, the Henry R. Luce Foundation received funding to support the PCR Project in improving US government engagement of religion in conflict-prone settings.
