Programs: AfP’s policy engagement which focuses on bringing the voices of civil society from around the world to policy makers in Washington, to give a perspective on how US policy impacts conflict dynamics on the ground, in complex areas of the world. One of President Obama’s signature policy initiatives of his first term was the establishment of the Atrocities Prevention Board, designed to prevent the outbreak of violent conflict and genocide around the world. AfP has responded to these new developments with a new Prevention Initiative. The Prevention Initiative is working to bring the genocide prevention community (which focuses primarily on advocacy) together with the conflict prevention community (working to address the root causes of violence), to provide a more holistic and sustainable approach to the prevention of genocide and mass atrocities.
