  Violent conflicts affect many countries in the south and prevent long term sustainable development. In 2005, there were 98 violent conflicts worldwide - most of them civil conflicts. Up to one million people lose their lives every year as a result of war. Starvation, expulsion, social instability and economic decline are the long term consequences.

Therefore, crisis prevention and peace building are increasingly important challenges for all areas of international cooperation. More and more, development and peace organisations commit themselves to play an active role in preventing violent conflicts and in promoting peace against a backdrop of violence.
