Abstract of "People Building Peace: A Global Action Agenda for the Prevention of Violent Conflict" by International Secretariat, Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict

In text abstract:

This Global Action Agenda outlines key priorities for change to achieve a shift to prevention based on promoting human security. It addresses some of the main challenges for responding to conflict that is at risk of - or has already descended into - organized violence, as well as for addressing the consequences of war and building cultures of peace. It proposes measures to address some of the main structural causes of conflict by promoting greater human security. It suggests strategies for better focusing policies and structuring resources to achieve these aims. It concludes by highlighting key reforms and tasks that can be implemented by CSOs, the UN, regional organizations and governments to strengthen their institutional capacities to address the issues identified in this Global Action Agenda.
