Armed Violence in Urban Settings: New Challenges, New Humanitarianisms
Deltakere
Simon Reid-Henry
The primary objective of this research project is to describe, understand and explain how humanitarian actors are seeking, in cooperation with other actors, to prevent and mitigate the impact of armed violence in urban settings.
How do humanitarian actors seek to address challenges, such as armed violence, that are humanitarian in nature but where humanitarian actors have to rely on other policy tools than traditional humanitarian ones? How do urban settings pose particular challenges to humanitarian organizations and how they define and deal with these?
Additionally, the project aims to understand the conditions under which humanitarian actors successfully learn from others, adapt to new challenges, and incorporate new policy tools. It aims to generate lessons of policy relevance for humanitarian actors' advocacy on armed violence at the global level by mapping best practice and unearthing the contents and quality of practical efforts to combat armed violence worldwide.
