  8. international support: challenges International efforts have helped diminish global violence but are often… • Too slow… • Too volatile… • Too quick to exit… • Too stove-piped… • Too “post-conflict” focused…insufficient emphasis on armed violence reduction across a range of contexts

  9. focus on legitimate governance that provides citizen security, justice and jobs • Reorient assistance and address international capacity gaps • Mainstream armed violence reduction in development programming • Move from rhetoric of “coordination” to joint programs that link institution-building for justice, security and jobs

  10. reform internal agency procedures • Speed • Volatility • Partnerships • Risk and results: • Better indicators of risks and results to inform dialogue with recipient and donor country stakeholders • Key is direct measurement of insecurity and citizen trust in institutions • Practical initiatives (e.g. Bank operationalization, Civcap)

  11. address transnational threats • Cross-border programming and regional capacity-building • Added teeth on illicit global financial flows • Joint action on investigations and prosecutions between the jurisdictions

  12. forge a new consensus • Respond to messages from citizen dissatisfaction and protests • Use experiences of middle income and least developed countries in reforms • Revive consensus on norms through global and regional bodies and recognise leadership in violence prevention

  13. 2011 WDR - key messages • 1.5 billion people live in countries affected by repeated cycles of political and criminal violence—causing human trauma and disrupting development. • Strengthening the institutions that provide citizen security, justice and jobs—and alleviating the international stresses that undermine them—is crucial to break cycles of violence. • At country level, balancing short-term measures to restore confidence and long-term institution-building is key. Four tracks of international reform: • Increase assistance to build legitimate institutions that provide security, justice and jobs • Reform internal agency procedures • Act globally and regionally, in particular on trafficking • Forge a new consensus between OECD, middle income and least developed countries
