The Violence Prevention Alliance (VPA) Jamaica is a network for organizations working to prevent violence. Launched in November 2004, VPA opened to broad participation from group from all sectors (governmental, nongovernmental and private) and levels (community, national and regional) to unite around a shared vision.
The momentum towards a systematic and coordinated approach to violence prevention was catalyzed by the World Health Organization’s World Report on Violence Prevention. The Global VPA was launched in January 2004. The VPA in Jamaica was launched in November 2004.
