Mapping the Deradicalization and Prevention Landscape in Germany


Keshif applied its data-visualization technology to develop a dynamic, analytically powerful, and customized platform for visual presentation and analysis of over 800 locally funded initiatives focusing on prevention, de-radicalization, and disengagement from extremist groups and ideology in Germany.

Impact

IKG and its partners implemented a large-scale survey to map out and evaluate local prevention initiatives across Germany. Using Keshif's interactive visual dashboards, government, research institutions, and local community organizations can gain a better understanding of the landscape for prevention and deradicalization from extremist ideology. They can access information about individual local initiatives, and interactively query the dataset to reveal trends in geographical distribution, funding resources, applied methods, target demographics, and more.

With the help of Keshif’s advanced and easy-to-use data technology, we were able to set up a first prototype at an early project stage. This helped us throughout the whole research journey, especially in the monitoring and analysis during the data collection phase. We were able to discover trends early in the process and tailor the visualization tool to our project’s needs simultaneously. Also, Keshif’s on-topic expertise and methodological knowledge was greatly appreciated.

Visual Data Analytics and Dashboarding

We created thematic and explorative dashboards that match the MAPEX’s methodology and enable authoring for more in-depth exploration of the data.

Data Preparation

We prepared data processing scripts to transform raw survey data to match the project methodology, data privacy, and analysis goals. We also created tools for data extracts for interactive dashboarding.

Web Design and Development

Our web design reflects the IKG branding requirements and enables configuration of the dashboards and easy embedding on the external project website. The dashboard is fully translated into both German and English to make it accessible to global audiences.
