Improving Governance to Reduce Violence
Channel: United States Institute of Peace
Date: 2017-07-12

Beyond traditional development, improvements to governance are investments in security, broadly defined. Legitimate and effective institutions of governance are better able to address grievances that often lead to violence and, in doing so, preserve the very development gains that can be rolled back with the onset of violent conflict. Please join the U.S. Institute of Peace and the World Bank on July 12 for a discussion of this vital element of the Bank’s “World Development Report 2017: Governance and the Law.”

The United States Institute of Peace works to prevent, mitigate, and resolve violent conflict around the world. USIP does this by engaging directly in conflict zones and by providing analysis, education, and resources to those working for peace. Created by Congress in 1984 as an independent, nonpartisan, federally funded organization, USIP’s more than 300 staff work at the Institute’s D.C. headquarters, and on the ground in the world’s most dangerous regions.
