Terrorism in East Africa has remained a concern of the United
States since 1998, when al Qaeda bombed U.S. embassies in Kenya and
Tanzania. As part of its efforts to address this threat, State
launched PREACT in 2009 as a program for long-term engagement and
capacity building in East Africa. PREACT -- which focuses on
countering terrorist threats, including al Shabaab, an al Qaeda
affiliate based in Somalias -- managed by State's Bureau of African
Affairs and provides assistance in a region composed of 12 partner
countries. This book examines PREACT, including the role it plays
in U.S. counterterrorism assistance to East Africa; the extent to
which funds allocated for PREACT since 2009 have been disbursed;
and the extent to which State considers key factors in managing
PREACT.
