About this app

MASAR assists practitioners and policy makers in creating a plan for monitoring, measurement and evaluation (MM&E) of preventing and countering violent extremism (P/CVE) programs and projects. The Application walks a user through a comprehensive process for helping design P/CVE programs, collecting information about the user’s activities and recommending resources to support the development of goals and objectives, indicators, data collection methods and evaluation. The content of MASAR is a product of Hedayah and the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), and the App was developed by 21 Unicorns. MASAR was supported by a contribution from the Government of Canada.

“MASAR” means “path” or “trajectory” in Arabic. The App helps steer designers of P/CVE projects on the right “path” to achieving measurable outcomes and projecting the impact in terms of reducing radicalization and recruitment to violent extremism.
