Social capital and violence in developing countries SSR Project - R7902. Final Report.

Abstract

The project took the form of two principal elements: a qualitative study of social capital and problem solving among low income populations, carried out by four youth groups in Cali, Colombia; and an international youth workshop in Cali focusing on the topics of social capital, community development and violence. An additional complementary component, training in managing cases of domestic violence, was also incorporated into the project and is described in Annex A. This final report is divided into three parts: Part 1: Background to the project (relevance of research topics and activities of collaborating institutions); Part 2: Objectives, methods, findings and dissemination of the youth research activity; and Part 3: Objectives, methods, discussions and dissemination of the workshop.
