Preventing violence and reducing its impact: how development agencies can help

There's a new document released by WHO and the Violence Prevention Alliance: Preventing violence and reducing its impact: how development agencies can help. Targeted towards development assistance agencies, United Nations organizations, governments and nongovernmental organizations, the document highlights how the health, psycho-social, and economic consequences of violence impede development.

It identifies the gaps - and the many strengths - in current development agency violence prevention priorities and proposes a strengthened agenda for more effective violence prevention. It also puts forward concrete proposals to build up the institutional foundations necessary for violence prevention at both national and international levels.
