At our launch event, we discussed how NPS have the potential to be a transformative tool for sustaining peace, how this voluntary policy guidance can be used by national actors to develop their strategy, as well as by international actors to support them.

🤔 Violent extremism ≠ intra-state conflict... or does it?

In their latest blog, #NYUCIC's Céline Monnier (@CMonnierTweets) and Owen Brady reveal how fragmented approaches miss the overlap—and what can be done about it.

I am thrilled to share our new tool to identify the underlying causes of armed conflict and violent extremism, with over 150 categories of risk and protective factors across multiple disciplines.
This tool is a prototype. Reach out with questions or if you want to discuss!

💻 Our researchers have developed a new evidence-based tool to support policymakers and practitioners in identifying the underlying causes of armed conflict and violent extremism/terrorism, and design more effective prevention efforts.

🌟 New report by @CMonnierTweets, Sophie Rutenbar, @BettyNyamburaW1, @martabautistaf, & @nataliemayaa is out now! 🌟

🇺🇳 The @UN #Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) has the potential to play an important role in supporting the development and implementation of national prevention strategies. The challenge is now to translate that potential into practice.

💡 This paper highlights a few ideas that member states may wish to discuss, explore, workshop, test, and further develop to help the PBC reach its potential in supporting prevention.

Our new report is out!

[NYU Center on International Cooperation (CIC) @nyuCIC]

#UN #MemberStates have shown an increased interest in using the #PeacebuildingCommission (PBC) to discuss national prevention strategies.

This report explores how the PBC can provide effective support to member states on national prevention strategies in 4️⃣ areas: fostering buy-in for prevention, exchanging good practices, coordinating support, and financing.

We’re launching the research project that will lead to the development of a new tool for policymakers to identify underlying causes of violence. Find more information in the blog post!

[NYU Center on International Cooperation (CIC) @nyuCIC]

🌱 Now is the time to invest in developing a more evidence-based approach to #prevention and #peacebuilding. Better understanding the drivers of violence will considerably improve practice by:

1️⃣ Improving diagnostics, and thus program designs.
2️⃣ Building synergies.
3️⃣ Measuring impact.
4️⃣ Increasing investment in prevention and peacebuilding by showcasing results.

🙏 Thank you to the #peace community in Geneva 🇨🇭 and online for joining us earlier this week to celebrate the #HalvingGlobalViolence Task Force’s flagship report launch. 🕊️

We’re inspired by the leadership of our keynote speakers and their commitment to the #SDGs 🇺🇳 and reducing the violence in our homes, our streets, and our communities through holistic & intersectional approaches.

Our expert panels from @SmallArmsSurvey, @UNODC, @GVAGrad_CCDP, @WHO, @nyucic, and @GI_TOC highlighted some key points to further the conversation, including the need to recognize violence as a public health “endemic” 🏥 and invest in national/early prevention strategies and how locally focused solutions are an essential part of reducing violence. 🛑

We look forward to continuing this conversation with our #SDG16 community and beyond!

🚨 The latest global trends on violence are alarming, but there is momentum among member states to give more support to national #prevention strategies.

🔁 Here’s how they can keep this momentum going:
‼️ Emphasize the universality of prevention
👥 Continue to share their national prevention strategies at the PBC
🗣️ Clearly communicate the benefits of such strategies
