Collecting Data and Information

Analysing the Safety Situation

Building on the data generated in the previous phase, analyses of actors, sectors and levels of violence can be carried out using participatory tools. The results of the analyses can be utilized as a baseline study for monitoring and evaluation of the measure. It helps identify strategic starting points for prevention activities.

Analysing the Safety Situation

Planning Safety Initiatives

This phase provides process-oriented planning tools for safety measures. The results from the analyses are used to identify partners and establish objectives of the measure in terms of desired behaviour change among young people and intermediaries.
