The Building Partnerships Initiative to End Men's Violence (BPI) has four objectives:
- To Map Who is Doing What and Where to prevent men's violence, with specific attention to efforts that demonstrably decrease victimization, increase abuser accountability, and break the isolation within which members of the project community often work;
- To Promote Strategic Alliances among the project community. We are specifically interested in new alliances between programs working to end men's violence and community based organizations that reach large numbers of men, but do not currently emphasize working to end violence;
- To Identify and Disseminate Innovative Practices emerging among practitioners working to end men's violence, including efforts to build strategic partnerships and to create culturally sophisticated anti-violence initiatives; and
- To Identify and Publicize Unmet Training and Technical Assistance Needs as articulated by the project community.
The BPI is overseen by The Family Violence Prevention Fund (FVPF). This is one of a series of interconnected initiatives launched by the FVPF to encourage men all across the country to become actively involved in ending men's violence against women.
