SPECIAL INITIATIVE

Youth and Violent Conflict

Identifying and including the specific needs of youth is essential to design effective responses for conflict prevention and peace building. UNDP has launched an initiative to better understand the interrelations between youth and violent conflict and published a report titled Youth and Violent Conflict: Society and Development in Crisis? in 2006. Based on the report's recommendations, UNDP is now codifying country experiences with youth-related programming to develop practical guidance.
