This paper presents the findings and recommendations of a research project entitled Capturing UN Preventive Diplomacy Success: How and Why Does It Work? The project was led by the Centre for Policy Research at the UN University,1 in collaboration with the UN Department of Political Affairs and with support from the UK Permanent Mission to the UN. The aims of the project were to deepen the UN's understanding of successful preventive diplomacy; produce a framework for assessing preventive diplomacy; and contribute to improved planning of preventive diplomacy missions. Primary research was conducted through six in-depth case studies on UN preventive diplomacy: Guinea (2008-10); Lebanon (2011- 17); Malawi (2011-12); Nigeria (2015); Sudan (2010-11); and Yemen (2011).
