Abstract

Recognizing the non-linearity of conflict, IDRC aims to proactively impact these complex situations through its support to applied research and policy-influence. PCD is a thematically focused research program that responds to the priorities of Southern partners while developing south-south research programs and networks. This evaluation/study sheds light on lessons learnt regarding the challenges of conducting research on conflict in the Colombian conflict context, and on the adaptability and responsiveness of IDRC/PCD's modalities to conflict situations. IDRC offers researchers flexibility ingrained in the research process, so that for instance, female ex-combatants might be studied in the midst of Colombian conflict.
