OAS and UNDP to Launch Practical Guide for Early Warning and Response Systems Design for Social Conflicts
The Organization of American States (OAS) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for Latin America and the Caribbean will present, on Thursday, March 31, the Practical Guide for “Early Warning and Response Systems Design for Social Conflicts,” which is intended for national and local governments, as well as civil society organizations in the region…

…In times of paralleled economic uncertainty and increasing social demands, the Guide offers a system for getting ahead of the outbreak and spreading of conflicts, with the premise that it is better to work in preventing conflict before it erupts and worsens.

Early Warning and Response Systems (EWRS) process data and issue warnings, provide recommendations on when and how to proceed and help identify institutions responsible for carrying out the responses.
