A dynamic overview of six core approaches to conflict and atrocity prevention—mapped by effect, backed by evidence.
Key impact: Justice (+0.351), Transitions (+0.138)
Peacekeeping builds institutional trust. Strong gains in justice and political transitions, but SGBV increases—a warning to mission design.
Key impact: Diplomacy (+0.347), Conflict risk (-0.018)
Aid improves compliance under pressure but can worsen conflict when misused. Conditionality matters. Context is everything.
Key impact: Justice Access (+0.148), Trust (+0.108)
Radio dramas and info campaigns spark civic help, foster trust, and shift norms—if messages are sustained and localized.
Key impact: Services (+0.280), Civic Engagement (+0.171)
Community-led development works: real effects on access, inclusion, and local governance. But gains on violence are negligible.
Key impact: Security (+0.137), Governance (+0.121)
Elections create opportunity—but also risk. Moderate gains in order and trust, slight declines in civic enthusiasm.
Key impact: Cohesion (+0.260), Economic Security (+0.188)
High-impact programs boost employment, trust, and social links. But some trade-offs: less schooling, lower political interest.
This map was created by a team of researchers at Campbell South Asia on behalf of by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), to support evidence-based conflict prevention.
