Best Practice Seminars

Best practice seminars provide a platform to share and develop strategies to prevent and reduce armed violence in order to promote sustainable development.

The Best Practice Regional Seminars aim at further implementing the “programming” pillar of the Geneva Declaration as its purpose is to bring together practitioners from government, civil society, international organizations and academia to provide concrete experiences and lessons learned in reducing and preventing armed violence. These experiences will then be further disseminated to the wider community of practitioners throughout the world.
