All DFID education programmes are analysed to ensure that they do not inadvertently promote intolerance, exacerbate grievances or contribute to feelings of frustration due to unmet expectations, for example, on employment. Where possible, such programmes aim to contribute to resilience to radicalisation, for example by supporting the development of critical thinking, providing psychological support, and equipping young people with relevant vocational and technical skills.
