The study has the following research objectives:
o To assess to what extent the interventions in the field of livelihood reinforced the WASH and education
interventions in the communities and vice versa;
o To provide case studies with examples of successful and non-successful reinforcement of activities in
the field of education, health and livelihoods;
o To compare between various programme activities implemented in villages where DCR member,
ZOA, intervenes. To assess to what extent experience in programme design and implementation of specific programme activities was used whilst implementing new or other activities. This will help to identify critical elements of mutual reinforcement of activities across clusters.
Following its objectives, the main questions this study seeks to answer are:
1. To what extent have the interventions in the field of livelihood reinforced the education and WASH
interventions in the communities, and vice versa?
2. What are examples of successful and non-successful reinforcement of activities in the field of
livelihoods, WASH and education?
3. What have been critical elements of mutual reinforcement with regard to livelihoods and educational
activities?

This alert draws attention to how Bahrain remains paralysed by ongoing protests due to the lack of reform and, worse still, continues to contribute to the exacerbation of Shia/Sunni tensions within the region.

African Frontiers: Insurgency, Governance and Peacebuilding in Postcolonial States, 2015
In debates on governance in weak or fragile states, non-state actors are often overlooked. A part... more In debates on governance in weak or fragile states, non-state actors are often overlooked. A particularly under-recognized governance actor is the rebel group. Rebel groups have substantive involvement in several governance domains, and as such acquire authority and legitimacy among their constituents. While previous research shows that non-state governance cannot be seen as the sole result of state weakness or as opposition to the state necessarily, this chapter addresses the complexity, multiplicity and (practical) dynamics of rebel governance. International actors, such as states and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), struggle to decide on whether or how to engage with rebel groups. Studying the dynamics of rebel governance will shed new light on policy debates on insurgency, peacebuilding and development in contexts of state fragility in the African borderlands. The cases of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A) in South Sudan, the National Resistance Army (NRA) in Uganda and the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC) in Somalia will serve as examples of rebel governance in the African context.
