Last in line, last in school. How donors are failing children in conflict-affected fragile states
International Save the Children Alliance, 2007Conflict-affected fragile states (CAFS) are home to half of the world’s out-of-school population – 39 million children – yet receive only one fifth of total education aid.DocumentRegulation partnerships for African water utilities

Poor people often cannot afford a connection or lack necessary legal documents to obtain one. As a result, they frequently turn to ‘informal’ providers instead.

Households in Conflict Network, 2007This document examines how the theory of social capital can be used to understand the violence that took place in a Rwandan community 50 KM south of the capital.

id21 Development Research Reporting Service, 2007Universal frameworks for peacemaking rarely lead to sustainable peace. Evidence from Africa’s Great Lakes region suggests that the standard Western peace formula – blaming bad governance and ‘structural violence’ for the conflict – fails to address the complexity of African politics and the underlying economic conditions that lead to violence.OrganisationResearch ICT Africa Network

id21 Development Research Reporting Service, 2007As donors seek to improve the effectiveness of aid, they have turned to delivering aid directly to developing country budgets. General budget support funds are used by recipient governments according to their own priorities.
