Bottom-up approaches to violence prevention
Channel: ISSAfricaTV
Date: 06/12/2023

Bottom-up or local-level approaches to violence prevention emphasise the role of the community, local knowledge and collaboration in interventions. When based in a local setting, projects are more responsive and tailored to the specific needs of that community.

But what are the ingredients that make local-level interventions work? This seminar will showcase two unique case studies of bottom-up violence prevention in South Africa.

This online seminar is jointly hosted by the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) and the INSPIRE Working Group.

Moderator: Jody van der Heyde, INSPIRE Working Group Global Coordinator, ISS

Panelists:

Lindokuhle Mkhize, Project Manager, Wildlife and Environment Society of South Africa
Dr Barbara Holtmann, Technical Director, FIXED Africa
