Refresh the website if the graphics are not shownPrevention occurs mostly in documents published in Europe, followed by North America and Asia with comparatively smaller contributions. Overall, the top five contributors in terms of occurrences are NGO, NGO_Fed, IGO, RC and State organisations.
NGO documents provide the greatest number of occurrences, primarily from activity reports published in Europe. In second place, occurrences from NGO_Fed were mostly obtained from activity reports and strategy documents published in Africa, Europe and Asia. Occurrences from IGO were mostly found in European general documents and activity reports.
Occurrences from RC were obtained primarily from MENA activity reports as well as Asian and European strategy documents. Lastly, State also generates a considerable smaller number of occurrences from activity reports published in Europe.
Conflict prevention: Actions, policies and procedures undertaken in particularly vulnerable places and times in order to avoid the threat or use of armed force and related forms of coercion by states or groups as the way to settle the political disputes. [Conflict prevention] can occur at two points in a typical conflict's life history: (a) when there has not been a violent conflict in recent years, and before significant signals of violence [make] possible [the] escalation to sustained violent conflict ... and (b) when there has been a recent violent conflict but peace is being restored (Schmid, A.P., 1998)
Contextual analysis identified 6 parent concepts of prevention, namely health-related concepts, service, management, intervention, treatment and activity.

She also provides referrals to complementary or structural services, such as violence prevention, treatment for alcohol and drug abuse, and family planning services.
Most of these people require legal, psychosocial and health care services that include child protection and gender-based violence prevention and response.
In Durban (South Africa), for example, the replacement value of the ecosystem services (e.g. water provision, flood prevention) within the city's network of open space was estimated at US$418 million per year in a study published in 2003.174 This was approximately 38 per cent of the city's total capital and operating budget at that time, illustrating the financial consequences of losing access to these services.
Progress in relation to: – specifying future allocations of aid; – securing that aid supports clearly identified development objectives agreed between those providing and those receiving aid; – promoting the better management of aid, including the prevention of corruption relating to it; – securing improvements in monitoring the use of aid.

Frequent words that accompany a term are known as collocates. A given term and its collocates form collocations. These can be extracted automatically based on statistics and curated manually to explore interactions with concepts.
Comparisons over time between organisation types with the greatest contribution (NGO, NGO_Fed, IGO, RC and State organisations) proves to be meaningful. Below is an histogram for the top yearly collocation for each of the five organisations with the greatest contribution as well as across all organisation types.
Overall, mother-to-child (transmission of HIV or other diseases) clearly dominates as the top collocate for all organisation types analysed. In second place, detection was found as top collocate for 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. In third place, crime only topped 2007, but with a considerably high score.
NGO documents contain drop-out/dropout (i.e. school drop-out) top collocate with the highest score for 2005, 2015 and 2017, followed by torture. Other NGO top collocates include soil-outflow, mother-to-child, diarrheal, asbestos and GBV (gender-based violence).
IGO documents is also dominated by mother-to-child as top collocate. Other IGO top collocates include crime, injury, STI (sexually transmitted infection, NCD (non-communicable disease), viral, tailored and statelessness.
Collocation data from RC shows non-discrimination as top collocate with the highest overall score for 2016. Other RC top collocates include malaria, cholera, condom, mines, precaution, dengue, diabetes, transmitted and protection.
In RC documents, the most relevant collocation is again mother-to-child. Other RC top collocates include disability, opportunistic and detection.
State documents generated atrocity as the top overall collocate, recorded in 2014, 2015 and 2017. Other State top collocates include mitigation, ITN (insecticide-treated net), pollution, mother-to-child, GBV (gender-based violence), infections and contamination.
Organisation subcorpora present unique and shared collocations with other organisation types. Unique collocations allow to discover what a particular organisation type says about prevention that others do not.
Top unique collocates for NGO include drop-out, impairment, obesity, asbestos, counselling, NHRIs (National Human Rights Institutions, pre-disaster, apt, OPCAT (Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture) and sex
NGO_Fed documents feature opportunistic, mother-to-child, sickness, needless, delinquency, clearance, Chagas (disease), exploit, STBBIs (sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections and antimalarial
IGO unique collocates with the highest scores are punishment, threats, tailored, statelessness, AWD (acute watery diarrhoea), mine-risk, waterborne, eviction, arm and sub-committee.
Documents from RC generated the following top unique collocates:
Unique collocates for State include mines, commonly, explosive, hand-to-mouth, eradicate, disappearance, condom, non-communicable, breasfeed and ounce.
Shared collocations allow to discover matching elements with organisations talk about crisis. These constitute intersections between subcorpora.
Top collocates shared by 2 organisation types are blindness (NGO_Fed+NGO), genocide (NGO+IGO), diarrhoea (RC+NGO), injury (RC+IGO), NCD (non-communicable disease) (NGO+IGO), circumcision (State+NGO_Fed) and cervical (NGO_Fed+NGO).
Top collocates shared by 3 organisation types include diagnosis (NGO_Fed+NGO+IGO), peace-building (State+NGO+IGO), dengue (RC+NGO_Fed+NGO), communicable (RC+NGO_Fed+NGO), SGBV (sexual and gender-based violence) (RC+NGO+IGO), testing (NGO_Fed+NGO+IGO), diabetes (RC+NGO_Fed+NGO) and PMTCT (prevention of mother-to-child transmission [of HIV] ( RC+NGO+IGO).
Top collocates shared by 4 organisations are cholera (RC+NGO_Fed+NGO+IGO), torture (RC+NGO_Fed+NGO+IGO), GBV (gender-based violence) (State+NGO_Fed+NGO+IGO), infectious (State+RC+NGO_Fed+NGO), abuse (RC+NGO_Fed+NGO+IGO), sexually (RC+NGO_Fed+NGO+IGO), sexual (RC+NGO_Fed+NGO+IGO), STI (RC+NGO_Fed+NGO+IGO) and cancer (RC+NGO_Fed+NGO+IGO).
Top collates shared by all organisations analysed (NGO+NGO_Fed+RC+IGO+State) include detection, transmission, mother-to-child, HIV, mitigation, treatment, malaria, AIDS, disease, infection and control.
Verb collocates are useful in determining key relations between concepts. On the left is a diagram that represents verbs of which prevention is the subject (in green) and the object (in pink).
At first sight, prevention collocates with verbs more frequently as an object than as an subject. This indicates that humanitarian actors mention prevention focusing on the following dimensions:
description (include, be, cover)
improvement (improve, strengthen)
conducing activities (ensure, support)
provision as a service (provide)
As an subject, prevention collocates with many verbs, albeit with fewer occurrences. It appears that humanitarians use prevention as an subject to describe:
conducing activities (require, include, need)
description (be, include, have)
service recepients (reach)
Please note that conflict, programme, work and measure are false positives because they can be both nouns and verbs. In this case, they were erronously detected as verbs.
During the debate on conflict prevention , most of the participants agreed that, despite differences between the two regions, the OSCE's framework of commitments and instruments in the politico-military dimension could be a model for the Middle East.
Governments should also be reminded of the concept of human security; donor countries could only fulfill freedom from want, but freedom from fear should also be addressed. The role of humanitarians in conflict prevention and mediation was discussed. Despite recognition that these were not within humanitarians' core competencies and mandates, participants acknowledged that preventing further humanitarian crises was imperative. Against this backdrop, it was suggested that developing a body of analysis on the value of conflict prevention in order to demonstrate the cost-effectiveness of preventing a crisis as opposed to responding to one would be useful.
A critical question for the design and effectiveness of sustainable malaria prevention with long-lasting insecticidal nets is the durability of the netting material.
This means that we also need to reach out to non-specialist audiences, better explain what prevention means in relation to torture and other ill-treatment, and proactively participate in current debates of relevance to our mandate.
Some Yemeni employees perceive MSF to be over-reliant on traditional tribal reconciliation mechanisms when dealing with the aftermath of an incident. While this approach has resulted in a low prevalence of life-threatening incidents, it has not led to a significant reduction in exposure to risk. Identifying with a culture and achieving acceptance also means having to adopt its visible codes – in this case tolerating violence and focusing on crisis resolution rather than prevention .
Vertical or horizontal GBV response: IRC's dual approach Few debates are as alive within the GBV field as the question of whether GBV efforts should be mainstreamed across existing sectors in both prevention and response, or specialised through dedicated experts, tools and initiatives focused specifically on GBV.
The question of the balance between public and private crime prevention is a major issue.
Access to care is not only a question of health policy and management, but also of social stability, prevention of discrimination and stigmatization, and promotion of inclusion through awareness and cultural sensitivity in health matters and empowerment of migrant communities to access services (Commission for Racial Equality, 1991; Sacks, 1983).
The idea that prevention should begin with the stemming of migration pressures at source has been much debated over the years without leading to the development of concrete and sustainable intervention strategies. Put simply, the argument is that prevention of irregular migration should begin with socio-economic development in countries of origin, although a reduction in flows in the short term is not to be expected, as theorists of the "migration hump" have articulated (Martin and Taylor, 1996).
Raising funds to adequately respond to disasters in meeting all the needs of the affected people can be a very difficult task as many donors prefer to respond to emergencies and disasters by giving relief support as opposed to funding prevention and protection programmes.
The chart below represents the distribution of prevention between 2005 and 2019 in terms of the number of occurrences and relative frequency of occurrences. It also allows you to view the distribution across Regions, Organisations and Document types.
The relative frequency of a concept compares its occurrences in a specific subcorpora (i.e. Year, Region, Organisation Type, Document Type) to its total number of occurrences in the entire HE corpus. This indicates how typical a word is to a specific subcorpus and allows to draw tentative comparisons between subcorpora, e.g. Europe vs Asia or NGO vs IGO. You can read these relative frequencies as follows:
Relative frequency is expressed as a percentage, above or below the total number of occurrences, which are set at 100%. This measure is obtained by dividing the number of occurrences by the relative size of a particular subcorpus.
Under 100%: a word is less frequent in a subcorpus than in the entire corpus. This is means that the word is not typical or specific to a given subcorpus.
100%: a word is as frequent in a subcorpus as it is in the entire corpus.
Over 100%: a word is more frequent in a subcorpus than in the entire corpus. This means that the word in question is typical or specific to a given subcorpus.
As an author, you may be interested to explore why a concept appears more or less frequently in a given corpus. This may be related to the concept's nature, the way humanitarians in a given year, region, organisation type or document type use the concept, or the specific documents in the corpus and subcorpora itself. To manually explore the original corpus data, you can consult "contexts", or the search the corpus itself.
Occurrences of prevention were highest in 2015. However, 2013 saw the highest relative frequency with 278%.
Europe generated the greatest number of occurrences but ranks fifth in terms of relative frequency with 81%. CCSA obtained the highest relative frequency with 153% with very few occurrences.
The top 5 organisation types with the highest relative frequency of prevention are Project, WHS, Net, State and RC.
Activity reports provided the greatest number of occurrences. However, Strategy documents obtained the highest relative frequency with 129%.
This shows trends for prevention and its plural form in the vast Google Books corpus, which gives you a general idea of the evolution of the term in English books between 1950 and 2019. Values are expressed as a percentage of the total corpus instead of occurrences.
Please note that this is not a domain-specific corpus. However, it provides an overview of prevention across domains.
Prevention increased steadily until 1964 until 1994. From then onwards, it decreased progressively until today with hits slightly above pre-1964 values.
