Philippines

During its 2019 assessment visit to the Philippines, the Committee learned about the country’s National Action Plan on Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism (NAP/PCVE). Adopted earlier that year, the NAP/PCVE reflected the stated commitment of the Government of the Philippines to address the threat of violent extremism leading to terrorism through a comprehensive, whole-of-Government approach and through partnerships with non-governmental actors, including CSOs, academic experts, faith-based organizations and local communities. The NAP/PCVE was adopted following consultations with a range of government and non-governmental stakeholders.
