In recent years, UNDP has enhanced its behavioural insights (BI) capacity within prevention of violent extremism (PVE) programming. BI has proven an essential tool for decision-making, strengthening evidence-based programming and M&E, enabling actors to shed assumptions for deeper understanding of human behaviour, experimentation, and faster feedback on what works and what doesn’t.
This session presents practical tools for applying BI4PVE from a recently-published step-by-step guidance note “Applying Behavioural Science to Support the Prevention of Violent Extremism: Experiences and Lessons Learned”. It was enriched by examples from Pakistan, Sudan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Yemen.
