Appendix A

Workshop Agenda

WORKSHOP ON THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC COSTS
OF VIOLENCE: THE VALUE OF PREVENTION

April 28-29, 2011

APPROACH: This workshop will present an ecological life course framework for thinking about the impact of violence, to explore how the costs can be greater than typically conceived. Building from the individual to the community to the societal level, the workshop will examine the effect that violence has on development. Speakers will explore the ways in which a community can mitigate violence or the associated impacts.

OBJECTIVES:

  • To examine the social and economic costs of violence through a common framework that accounts for both life course and ecological impacts.
  • To explore the value of preventing violence through early interventions, multisectoral responses, and community-based approaches.

SECTION II. A Framework for Understanding the Costs
9:15 AM-12:10 PM

This session will introduce a qualitative framework that seeks to comprehensively identify the impact of violence across the life span and through the ecological levels. What are the kinds of social and economic costs associated with different types of violence? How would an economist attempt to quantify these costs? What are the critical challenges involved in measuring and evaluating costs?

Different contexts result in different experiences of violence. How does the environment, including its risk and protective factors, shape the nature of violence and its costs? Presenters will examine the outcomes and costs related to violence in different contexts (in terms of both geography and the nature of the violence).

MARK ROSENBERG

8:20 AM—Keynote: From the Individual to the Community

How does exposure to violence in early childhood impact an individual’s development throughout his or her lifetime? How can intervening in early developmental stages prevent violence or minimize its impact? How do these impacts carry through to the community level?

9:10 AM—Implications in the Global Development Context

How does violence affect the achievement of economic and human development goals? What role does development play in promoting individual and community resilience to violent events? Are there opportunities for synergies between the global development and violence prevention agendas?

9:35 AM—Q&A with Dr. Milante

9:45 AM—BREAK

SECTION II. Who Pays?: The Costs of Violence Across Society
10:00 AM-11:30 AM

The comprehensive framework for understanding costs demonstrates that the costs of violence do not fall upon a narrow portion of society, but on everyone. All sectors, therefore, have a part to play in preventing violence. Representatives from various sectors and government agencies will talk about what they perceive as both the overt and the hidden costs of violence. How can different sectors work together to produce a broad and integrated response that will more effectively combat violence?

SECTION III. The Case for Violence Prevention
12:30 PM-3:00 PM

Although the costs of violence are enormous, they are not inevitable. Building on the framework from Day 1, the speakers will examine why investments in violence prevention make economic sense. What are the measurable benefits of investing in interventions that reduce risk factors or promote protective factors? How can the strengths of individuals, families, and communities be leveraged for violence prevention?

SECTION IV. The Road Ahead
3:15 PM-4:00 PM

Moderated by MARK ROSENBERG,

The Task Force for Global Health, and

RODRIGO GUERRERO, Vallenpaz

A guided discussion with the audience will examine how we can use our new understanding of the costs to mobilize the necessary stakeholders and resources to push violence prevention forward. What are the knowledge gaps that we need to address to make a more effective case for these investments? How can violence prevention be incorporated into existing initiatives?

Measuring the social and economic costs of violence can be difficult, and most estimates only consider direct economic effects, such as productivity loss or the use of health care services. Communities and societies feel the effects of violence through loss of social cohesion, financial divestment, and the increased burden on the healthcare and justice systems. Initial estimates show that early violence prevention intervention has economic benefits. The IOM Forum on Global Violence Prevention held a workshop to examine the successes and challenges of calculating direct and indirect costs of violence, as well as the potential cost-effectiveness of intervention.
