The Campbell Collaboration’s Post

Global conflict is at its highest level since the Second World War. On a daily basis, violent atrocities against civilians occur and are reported on. However, there is also a wealth of knowledge about the effectiveness of interventions and actions to prevent conflict and atrocity and promote sustainable peace. These include interventions to address ongoing conflicts, like peacekeeping operations, international law and diplomacy (e.g. sanctions), as well as programmes that aim to stop conflict occurring in the first place, including support for civil society and development assistance (international aid). We compiled and assessed the confidence in this knowledge in an evidence and gap map containing 600 studies about what works in violent conflict and atrocity prevention (CAP).
