Capacity Development for

Prevention of VAW

Violence is a complex issue

1. Violence is complex & political

2. Causes and solutions to violence unfold

across levels of society

3. A spectrum of work - from primary

prevention, protection, service provision

and policy – is required

4. Evidence-based interventions need to be

coordinated across this spectrum

Prevention Programming

• Emerging evidence of promising prevention models*

• Grounded on evidence and theory

• Targeting all levels

• Long term approach

*Models (school-based interventions, sports for development

and prevention, community mobilisation, community

empowerment, parenting & childhood, communication &

campaign, etc.)

Capacity Development for Prevention

To see results, prevention interventions must:

Be of high quality;

Be well coordinated across all sectors;

Sustain and continue.

Strong capacity is needed to ensure quality,

coordination, and continuity of prevention

interventions
