The Center on Global Counterterrorism Cooperation, with support from the Ford Foundation, hosted a conference in Washington, DC on “Building Stronger Partnerships to Prevent Terrorism,” held on 8 October 2009. The goal was to focus attention on cooperative non-military counterterrorism efforts and steps the United States can take to strengthen those efforts. Participants in the full-day event included current senior U.S. and foreign government officials, senior representatives from the United Nations and regional organizations, academic and other non-governmental experts, and distinguished members of the Center’s international advisory council. The conference highlighted the comparative advantages of multilateral bodies in general and specifically as they relate to efforts to strengthen cooperation in two priority regions for U.S. counterterrorism efforts, South Asia and the Horn of Africa. The conference elicited concrete recommendations aimed at enhancing U.S. multilateral counterterrorism engagement, as well as making these international and regional actors more effective.
