    Biography

    Cameron Sumpter coordinates the countering/preventing violent extremism (P/CVE) thematic area of a project implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). This European Union-backed initiative (ESIWA) seeks to enhance security cooperation in and with Asia through a range of practical exchanges and engagements. Based in Berlin, Cameron travels to Asia frequently to meet stakeholders and organise activities aimed at building deeper and more constructive connections.

    Prior to joining GIZ, Cameron was a Research Fellow at the Centre of Excellence for National Security (CENS). As part of the radicalisation studies programme, Cameron analysed and discussed the policy and practice of preventing violent extremism, particularly in Indonesia, where he conducted regular fieldwork. Cameron is widely published on these themes and has consulted with international organisations such as the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).
