The Behavioural Insights Academy (BI Academy) is the flagship training programme of the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT) International Hub on Behavioural Insights to Counter-Terrorism (BI Hub) in Doha, Qatar. It aims to equip individuals with the skills needed to prevent and counter terrorism and violent extremism (PCVE) in their communities, using the power of behavioral insights.

Unlocking the Power of Behavioral Insights for CT/PCVE

The potential benefits of leveraging behavioral insights for countering terrorism and PCVE are considerable. It allows us to gain a deeper understanding of the drivers of violent extremism, examining the cognitive processes, social dynamics, and contextual factors that influence individual decisions and actions.

Equipped with this knowledge, the BI Academy enables participants to develop innovative, evidence-based interventions that target the root causes of extremism more effectively. Beyond just a training programme, the BI Academy pioneers policies and programming guided by behavioral science, in line with the 2021 Guidance Note on Behavioural Science by the United Nations Secretary-General and the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy.
