Report on Baseline: What have we discovered thus far? (Source of Statistics: City of Cape Town / VPUU fieldwork questionnaire) The issue of conceptualizing complex interventions is made more difficult still by the fact that we rarely find an intervention that can adequately be described as a single system. More often there are systems nested within systems. Source: (Ling et al., 2012)

Cure Violence (CeaseFire) HANOVER PARK

Cure Violence (CeaseFire) HANOVER PARK We can reduce the killings if we work together. In the first year, can we reduce gang-related killings by half from e.g. 28 to 14 killings? Our Partners: 1.

BASELINE : Identification Cure Violence works directly with gangs to prevent killings. It uses a three-prong approach: 1. Baseline: Who is at risk from gang-related killings? 2. Interruption and Outreach: How can we work with those at risk? 3. Changing: For a lasting change, the whole community can make a contribution

BASELINE : Measurement tool of types of CHANGE The baseline report includes mapping and statistics for the data driven approach (quantity data). However stories and public perceptions (quality data) based on interviews plus focus group workshops related to violence in Hanover Park have been recorded as well. Both data serve as a benchmark to the implementation of Cure Violence in order to measure the impact and quality of life after the first, second and third year of implementation. Through regular monitoring and evaluation the project can be reviewed and improved.

CHANGE Gang leaders and gang members are going to need community support while they change how gang conflicts are resolved. Cure Violence calls on every community member to help by: Encourage gang members you know to take part Be respectful of gang leaders and members who are willing to give up violence Take part in public events to celebrate less violence and mourn every injury or death Encourage gang members to make changes and make opportunities available to them Assist in recording the number of days since the last shooting of an individual Source: Case invitation to memorial wall celebration on 5 th December 2012 Source: FCRC / VPUU-CoCT Example of posters updated daily
