Important underlying factors of conflict remain unaddressed within both countries, and the paper makes three broad recommendations to those in South Sudan and Sudan who are concerned to build a more comprehensive and more stable peace, and to those in the international community wishing to support their efforts.

This report focuses on how theories of change can improve the effectiveness of peacebuilding interventions. A review of 19 peacebuilding projects in three conflict-affected countries found that the process of articulating and reviewing theories of change adds rigour and transparency, clarifies project logic, highlights assumptions that need to be tested, and helps identify appropriate participants and partners. However, the approach has limitations, including the difficulty of gathering theory-validating evidence.

This report discusses how theories of change can improve the effectiveness of peacebuilding interventions, reviewing 19 projects in three conflict-affected countries.

The de-isolation of Abkhazia (Russian)

Деизоляция Абхазии

Потребность в большем «вовлечении» Абхазии получила широкое признание со стороны международного сообщества и в настоящее время даже закреплена в официальных Европейской и Грузинской стратегиях. Однако столь «значимое» вовлечение не спешит материализоваться - наблюдается тенденция скорее к отчуждению, чем к сближению.

В данной работе грузинские и абхазские исследователи рассматривают вопрос «де-изоляции» Абхазии и вовлечения международного сообщества.

A time for reflection

Bringing peacebuilding approaches to the UK

The usual August calm was shattered by the disturbances across England two weeks ago. Whilst the debris is now cleared from the streets, the boarded-up shop windows and fire-blackened facades remain, reminding us of the harder process of rebuilding both physically and socially that needs to follow.

Alert's Secretary General reflects on England’s riots

If the UK were a fragile state…

Peckham, London - August 2011

This month, rioting and looting gripped England. At a time of uncertainty, it seemed salient (and perhaps inevitable) to ask, if the UK were a fragile state, how would we approach the events of last week, their aftermath and the future?
