Mapping Armed violence reduction and prevention programming trends

This chapter considers the general characteristics of armed violence reduction and prevention (AVRP) activites in Brazil, Burundi, Colombia, Liberia, South Africa and Timor-Leste. It detects a surge in policies and programmes over the past five years and some innovative shifts in programming theory and practice. It features a comparative analysis of direct, indirect and broader AVRP activities in each setting, the types of armed violence specific interventions aim to redress, their gender dimensions, their timelines, approaches to monitoring and evaluation, and budgets.
