The incentive program is funded by the Federal Council with an amount of CHF 5 million spread over a five-year period (2018-2023).
Applications for financial support for projects to be implemented in 2022 may be submitted from April 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021. Applications for funding for projects aimed at preventing forms of radicalization other than jihadism are strongly recommended.
The Swiss people and cantons liquidate the burqa and niqab
The Confederation has allocated over five years the necessary resources to support projects and programs aimed at combating radicalization and violent extremism and carried out by the cantons, municipalities, cities, universities and civil society.
The relevant ordinance was approved by the Federal Council on May 16, 2018. To date, the resources made available under the incentive program have been used to support 35 projects from 2019 to 2021.
A general call for ideas
People undergoing radicalization adopt increasingly extreme political, social, or religious views to the point where they are willing to resort to acts of extreme violence to achieve their goals.
The NAP is not only concerned with the prevention of jihadist radicalisation, but with all forms of radicalisation and violent extremism.

Nevertheless, the projects launched since 2018 and financially supported within the framework of the national incentive program are, for the most part, rarely aimed at preventing forms of radicalization other than jihadism.
For this reason, applications for funding of projects aimed at the prevention of other forms of radicalization are strongly recommended.
Deadline for project submissions: June 30
The national incentive program will be implemented until spring 2023. Applications for financial support for projects to be implemented in 2022 can be submitted to the Secretariat of the Swiss Integrated Safety Network from April 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021.
