Armed Violence Reduction: Enabling Development
OECD Publishing, March 2009, Pages: 138
Each year, 740 000 people die as a result of armed violence. It increasingly exploits a link between conflict and crime and undermines our chances of reaching the Millennium Development Goals. This book will help aid donors - both policy advisors and programme staff - to transform good words into good programmes that can ultimately help reduce armed violence globally.
This OECD policy paper explains why development policy makers and practitioners should aim to prevent and reduce armed violence, and suggests a comprehensive, multilevel approach for doing so. It outlines:
- How armed violence undermines development, whether in conflict, post-conflict or non-conflict contexts.
- The emerging patterns and trends in armed violence, including the growing overlaps between conflict and crime, and the resulting programming gaps.
- How development practitioners on the ground can combine different assessment methods and programming responses for more effective interventions to reduce and prevent armed violence.
- How emerging approaches to armed violence reduction and prevention (AVR) service the broader goals of state-building, peace building and development through their explicit focus on strengthening the legitimacy and resilience of state-society relations.
- The need to reinforce whole-of-government responses that synchronise development, political, military, policing and diplomatic efforts.
Overall, the paper signposts how development programming is evolving to respond to the emerging landscapes of underdevelopment and insecurity. It lays the foundation for the future development of operational and programmatic guidelines for armed violence reduction.
This policy paper was conceived primarily for OECD-DAC donors and development practitioners, at both the headquarters and field levels. Many of the ideas and approaches are equally relevant to developing country civil servants and NGOs.
