Overview :

The UNDP Oslo Governance Centre (OGC) is UNDP’s Global Policy Centre for policy development and applied research with an overarching focus on democratic governance and peacebuilding in crisis, conflict and transitional contexts. The OGC sits within the Governance and Peacebuilding Cluster, Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS), UNDP. It engages with Norwegian, Nordic and other partners from the South in undertaking applied research and developing policy options and tools for governance support in post-crisis and post-conflict environments, in order to find practical solutions on the ground. One of the priority areas for the OGC is the advancement of the research agenda on Preventing Violent Extremism (PVE). 

UNDP's approach to PVE aims to address two related trends: the rise of violent extremism, and the governance of increasingly diverse and multi-cultural societies. At the heart of UNDP's approach is a belief that better governance in diversity will lead to societies better prepared to deal with violent extremism as outlined in UNDP's strategy on 'Preventing Violent Extremism through Inclusive Development and the Promotion of Tolerance and Respect for Diversity'.

The UNDP OGC has hosted two global meetings on PVE bringing together practitioners, decision-makers and academics from around the world to discuss the challenges, opportunities and unique roles played by development actors in efforts to address the root causes of violent extremism. The meetings helped to establish the OGC as the global focal point within UNDP to shape, monitor, gather, organize, disseminate and advise on research and knowledge generation relating to the PVE field. We are now planning the third such meeting in the hopes that it will give people from around the world affected by violent extremism an opportunity to share their experiences with policy-makers, practitioners and researchers. These experiences will range from radicalization to rehabilitation and seek to inform the global PVE community of the current state of extremism across different contexts.

In light of the pandemic, the conference will be held fully online over four days (14-17th June 2021). In this regard, a separate event website for ‘Oslo III’ will showcase the full programme, recordings of sessions, and other resources. The conference needs its own digital branding with graphic design and video editing of pre-recorded material to make the conference run smoothly and professionally.

In lead up to the Oslo III conference on preventing violent extremism, the conference will have its own unique brand identity. This branding will be carried through in all aspects of the conference from social media posts, pre-filmed footage for the conference, and website.

The website will be developed by the contractor and hyperlinked from OGC’s website as an external URL. The website will feature the relevant information for the conference, such as registration and also have uploads from recorded sessions, pre-filmed material, and other resources.
