These studies, carried out within a program embracing research, consultation, networking, impact, and information dissemination, have been used by CRIES in the development of a Regional Action Plan for civil society, and in a presentation before the United Nations in the framework of the Global Conference promoted by the Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC).
