CTEC Expands Portfolio with New Grant

The Center on Terrorism, Extremism, and Counterterrorism (CTEC) at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies has joined a consortium with the U.S. office of the Global Center on Cooperative Security (Global Center) and the London based Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) to provide capacity building in the area of counterterrorism finance as part of a global project. The award from the U.S. Department of State will allow for a number of in-person and online training engagements, starting in two target countries, over a two year period beginning in 2020.

“This funding will allow for experts to engage with both private and government sector officials responsible for tackling terrorist access to finance,” shares Professor Jason Blazakis, director of CTEC. “We are pleased to combine forces with the Global Center and RUSI – both highly committed partners - in making the world a safer place.”
