The think-tank Copenhagen Consensus made contributions to the elaboration of the post-2015 agenda. Among them, they argued about the necessity to include a “reduction of violence” target in the post-2015 agenda.
“Civil war violence is too narrow a category when considering what the next set of international development goals concerned with violence should be. Interpersonal violence in its major forms – homicide and violent assaults, including intimate partner violence, child abuse, and FGM – are far more pervasive than civil war violence and almost surely far more costly in terms of human welfare. If it is the case that the benefit-cost ratio of interventions are at least comparable across these three areas (societal violence, civil war-related costs, and poor governance), then there is a strong case that much more aid should be flowing to programs to address violent crime and abuse.”
