The First Decade of the Global Counterterrorism Forum: Monitoring, Evaluating and Looking Forward.

The past year Zsofia Bauman and I conducted an independent evaluation of the Global Counterterrorism Forum (GCTF). I presented the findings to the Coordinating Committee which reflects upon and assesses the Forum’s work to help improve the promotion and practical use of GCTF outputs, to enhance the relevance, impact, and efficiency of the GCTF, and contribute to its sustainability. 

The full report can be accessed via the GCTF website.  

The Executive Summary, which contains the most important conclusions and recommendations, is available here. 

We used a mixed-method approach with the following forms of data-collection: document analysis, observations during the GCTF Strategic Vision for the Next Decade consultation rounds, a questionnaire (N=35) and interviews (N=31) with a mixture of GCTF Members, Inspired Institutions, the Administrative Unit, United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Coordination Compact (UN Global CT Compact) entities, civil society organizations and non-government organizations (CSO/NGOs), organizations that act
as GCTF implementers, academic institutions/think tanks, international/regional organizations and individuals  involved in the early years of the GCTF.
