PROGRAMMING

The Geneva Declaration process aims to advance armed violence prevention and reduction programmes that are sensitive to national and local realities and needs.

 

In selected focus countries, national and local governments develop and pilot specific armed violence prevention and reduction programmes with the support of UNDP and the international donor community.

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

The Armed Violence Prevention Programme (AVPP), initiated by UNDP and WHO, supports specific programmes in several Geneva Declaration focus countries.

The Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is actively involved in establishing guidelines on how to prevent and reduce armed violence.
