PROJECTS
The Democracy and Anti-Corruption Defenders (DAC) Fellowship program provided an opportunity for nationals of Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras who have worked to strengthen democracy or combat corruption and impunity in their home countries to increase their capabilities to continue in this important work. The fellowship brought these individuals together to promote the emergence of an ecosystem of actors working collaboratively to address corruption in the Northern Central America (NCA) region. The program was implemented by the Terrorism, Transnational Crime and Corruption Center (TraCCC) at George Mason University (GMU).
This project seeks to assess key safe haven hubs of global illicit trade, examining their impact, sectors affected, COVID-19-related threats, facilitating factors, policy responses, convergence of illicit trade types, involvement of legitimate economy actors, and the role of corruption, aiming to inform efforts to disrupt illegal networks and illicit markets globally.
The Global Terrorism Trends and Analysis Center (GTTAC) is a collaborative project led by Development Services Group (DSG) involving TraCCC staff and students using AI to identify open-source reporting on global terrorist incidents and provide data and analysis for the U.S. State Department's Annual Country Reports on Global Terrorism, with a diverse team including native speakers of various languages and contributors from different departments at George Mason University.
