a Model for a Whole-of-Problem Approach to Preventing Violent Conflict
This article argues that the practice of preventing violent conflicts is not new and that there are some widely-accepted tenets that taken together constitute a basic approach to effective prevention. What is lacking are operational models which effectively incorporate most elements of this approach.
This article presents and critically analyzes a model for preventing violent conflict which takes a whole-of-problem approach and a corresponding pilot project based on the model which has been operating in Guinea- Bissau since 2004. The model is found to be well designed as it incorporates the basic approach for effective prevention and a number of principles for good international engagement in fragile states. The model is also found to be a useful framework for undertaking dynamic conflict prevention, which can be understood as the ongoing proactive identification and targeting of those factors which will likely cause violent conflict no matter in which sector or level they occur. Moreover, the flexible structure of this model situates it well for wide application in other states and regions where violence is to be prevented. Weaknesses identified with the model include limitations to the range of preventive actions which it can utilize, limitations in generating political will, and dependency upon highly-experienced and knowledgeable project staff in order for it to be successfully applied in other contexts.

There had been different studies showing different approach for the assertion of any conflicts in the world. One of those is this model. Substantially, it has a point and only few know if it would be applicable for any resolution.

The model is well vindicated. Though there are different aspects causing violence in the world, such model could serve depending upon its application. Persons involved in the process are essential in making this worth.

People have different opinions and beliefs. However, these differences are the ones causing such misunderstanding and in time or at some point, into violence. The approach could be useful in dealing with problems occurring in this world.

That's just the way things are, people are different and are inclined to their beliefs. However, no matter how they were brought up, there still is a need to adjust. Misunderstandings could not be avoided, still it is the main cause of the violence occurring. This approach is of good help.
