Co-Chairs</h3> <p>The GCTF Co-Chairs provide overall strategic direction and management of the Forum’s activities. They serve a term of two (2) years, which is renewable. The same applies to Working Group Co-Chairs. GCTF Co-Chair terms officially begin at the end of the last Coordinating Committee meeting held prior to the end of the last month of a Co-Chair’s two-year term. Any two GCTF Members from different regions may together, in a paired bid, nominate themselves as candidates. A GCTF Member may co-chair the Coordinating Committee and/or no more than one Working Group at the same time. Nominations occur no later than five months prior to the end of the earliest expiring current Co-Chair’s term. GCTF Members will vote on the next Co-Chairs of the Coordinating Committee during the first Coordinating Committee meeting that takes place after the end of the nomination period and before the end of the earliest expiring Co-Chair’s term. The pair of nominees that receives the most votes/is acclaimed will serve as the next Co-Chairs.</p> <p>The current Co-Chairs are <strong>Egypt and the European Union</strong>.</p> <h3>Former GCTF Co-Chairs</h3> <h3>Canada and Morocco (2019 - 2022):</h3> <p>At the March 2019 <a href="/Activities/Activities/ArtMID/493/ArticleID/96/Fifteenth-GCTF-Coordinating-Committee-Meeting">Fifteenth GCTF Coordinating Committee Meeting</a>, GCTF Members accepted the nomination of Canada and Morocco to take over the mandate of Co-Chairs of the Forum. Morocco assumed the seat held by Turkey at the Ninth Coordinating Committee Meeting in April 2016 and Canada took over from the Netherlands at the <a href="/Activities/Activities/ArtMID/493/ArticleID/108/Tenth-GCTF-Ministerial-Plenary-Meeting">Tenth Ministerial Plenary Meeting</a> in September 2019. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Coordinating Committee decided to extend current mandates by one year and defer the selection of GCTF Co-Chairs and Working Group Co-Chairs to 2022.</p> <p>Canada and Morocco presented their <strong>Strategic Plan of Action</strong> to the GCTF Membership and main partners of the Forum in May 2020. As GCTF Co-Chairs, Canada and Morocco seek to reinforce the Forum’s founding mission of developing practical and effective ways to prevent and counter terrorism and violent extremism.
