Preventing and reducing Armed violence - Development plans and assistance
Background Paper - Oslo Conference on Armed Violence
UNDP | 2010
Topic: Friedensförderung und EZ
Armed violence reduction and prevention (AVR) is driven by the humanitarian and development imperative to accelerate global development by reducing the global burden of armed violence. The AVR approach responds to contemporary challenges of violence by addressing the risk factors for crime, interpersonal violence and conflict.
Local and national governments experience armed violence most directly and have pioneered a range of preventive responses, often with the support of local communities. The donor community and UN system are also increasingly aware of the potential of targeted preventive measures. They have begun to adapt their strategies and instruments to better assist countries in their struggle to prevent and reduce all forms of violence. This report provides an overview of some of the emerging lessons learned about how AVR priorities can be integrated into local, national and donor development plans and assistance strategies.
