The Genocide Prevention Program (GPP) was founded in 2007 by Andrea Bartoli to engage United Nations Member States and other regional and sub-regional organizations in building a network of states and local communities committed to preventing genocide and mass atrocities.
Under the directorship of Tetsushi Ogata from 2011 to 2015, GPP supported initiatives and helped build grassroots networks across the world committed to ending mass violence and mass atrocities.
In 2015 Douglas Irvin-Erickson took over as GPP director. Over the years, we have built lasting partnerships with national governments, inter-governmental organizations, non-governmental organizations, universities, and local communities around the world.
