Resilient Balkans: Strengthening Resilience in the Western Balkans

At the core of the GI-TOC’s activities in the Western Balkans is its engagement with NGOs, media and academia. These are key partners when it comes to gathering information and researching risk, in raising awareness of the impact of organized crime on local communities and in strengthening resilience. Over the past three years, we have worked with many courageous people who are at the forefront of resilience initiatives in the Western Balkans, and who are role models for their communities and beyond.

Cultivating an alternative to gangster culture in Cape Town

Throughout 2020, the Resilience Fund has supported The Message Trust, a church organization in Cape Town, South Africa, which helps ex-offenders, including gang members, reintegrate into society by offering alternative futures for them and their families, thereby enhancing their own and their communities’ resilience to organized crime and violence.
