Abstract:
This report reflects the findings of four individual case study reports commissioned by the Peace, Conflict and Development (PCD) program. The findings of the individual country reports and the synthesis report are based on a contextual analysis of selected PCD-funded research projects. The objective is to identify the factors (conditions and programming modalities) that facilitate or hinder the research process for PCD-supported projects in countries and regions affected by violent conflict, and the advantages and disadvantages of PCD programming in such unstable settings.
