The Preventing Violent Extremism Pathfinder Fund was established by the British government's Department for Communities and Local Government as as "a key element of the PREVENT element of the Government’s counter-terrorism strategy."[1] It distributes funds via local government to organisation it sees as fight extremism. By October 2007 200 projects had been agreed, nearly 80 of them in London. Under Hazel Blears the government is increasing funding, and is to provide £45 million over the next three years to local partnerships through Prevent (PVE): Funding. By 2010-11, funding will rise to £18 million a year.[2]
Uncertain Objectives
According to a PVE Pathfinder Fund Report published by the DCLG, which mapped a total of 261 PVE projects activities in 2007/08 for nine English regions it stated that:
"Over two-fifths of all projects across England sought to challenge the violent extremist ideology and support mainstream voices (Objective 1) and develop understanding, analysis and evaluation (Objective 6, 48% and 44% respectively)"[3]
According to the wording of the official British counter-terrorism Strategy - CONTEST, the purpose of Objective 6 is
"...to: develop supporting intelligence, analysis and information...".[5]
All the projects that were carried out under the PVE Pathfinder Fund in the South-West of England (a total of 3) were categorised by the DCLG Report as assissting in the the delivery of "Objective 6".[6]
