Abstract

This article reports on a synthetic methodology used to reduce the gap between evaluations and policy-making. The authors report on a review of the effectiveness of international violence prevention programmes and discuss how these findings were disseminated to policy-makers. The findings were immediately adopted by the Dutch government and this article explains how and why.
