Wasafiri says the British High Commission committed to "a 3-year programme to tackle the drivers, narratives and enablers of violent extremism" in East Africa. It says that in 2015 the High Commission "commissioned Wasafiri as its Regional Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) Research Unit".[5] It also says its director Hamish Wilson was "deployed to the British Embassy in the newly created post of Senior Stabilisation Adviser" in Somalia in early 2012.[6]
