Our main purpose is to promote rights of minorities and vulnerable groups as a way towards justice to counter radicalisation and terrorism.

Geschichte

Agenfor International is part of a EU promotion network empowering the rights of minorities and vulnerable groups as key strategy to counter the emergence of radical dynamics and forms of violence and terrorism within the society.
Agenfor International is a not-for-profit network aiming to work in the over-lapping contexts of development, humanitarian crises and human rights. Our goal is to ensure Security through a better protection of human rights and socio-political participation with a particular focus on minorities, prisoners and other vulnerable groups.
Public-Private partnership and multi-agency approaches are a substancial part of our work.


We are active in the field of counter-radicalization with training courses and research activities addressing the needs of first-line practitioners from the public and private sectors all around Europe. We periodically plan proposals in the field of security, human rights and international cooperation to EU and other international funds with the support of an extended partnership that comprises all 28 EU countries, Switzerland and Turkey.
Expert in EU-funded Projects Planning and Management, always looking for new projects, new partners, and sharing informations around the world, Agenfor International is a private nonprofit ngo advocating for participative security.
We contribute to harmonize state and citizen’s needs, with a specific focus on minorities and prisoners’ rights, connecting civil society organizations with institutions.
The European Convention on Human Rights is the compass we use to navigate the rights of individuals, communities and nations co-habiting under the organization of the State.
We operate in Europe, Switzerland and the Arab and Muslim world (Libya, Syria, Iraq).
