Drawing on extensive archival and internet research, this short analytical literature review aims to illuminate key themes, trends, and promising prospects for war-affected youth and the programs that aim to assist them.
Youth & Violent Conflict: Society and Development in Crisis?
United Nations Development Programme
The United Nations Development Programme’s Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery (BCPR) released its report Youth and Violent Conflict: Society and Development in Crisis?". The report represents a first step to build substantial knowledge on this issue as a basis for policy development and programmatic responses. It reviews existing analytical and policy frameworks, provides an initial mapping of relevant programming efforts put in place by UNDP and partner organizations, and advances preliminary recommendations for the way forward.
