Description

Terrorism in East Africa has remained a concern of the U.S. since 1998, when al Qaeda bombed U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. As part of its efforts to address this threat, the State Department (State) launched the Partnership for Regional East Africa Counterterrorism (PREACT) in 2009 as a program for long-term engagement and capacity building in East Africa. PREACT -- which focuses on countering terrorist threats, including al Shabaab, an al Qaeda affiliate based in Somalia -- is managed by State's Bureau of African Affairs and provides assistance in a region composed of 12 partner countries. This report examined PREACT, including (1) the role it plays in U.S. counterterrorism assistance to East Africa; (2) the extent to which funds allocated for PREACT since 2009 have been disbursed; and (3) the extent to which State considers key factors in managing PREACT. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
