DFID 7443 Conflict Research

Actual CPV code is ‘75211200 Foreign Economic-Aid Related Services’.

The overall objective of the programme is to deliver new, operationally-relevant evidence on understanding conflict in developing countries, and the best response to it, that supports more evidence based – and therefore effective – development initiatives by DFID and its partners in a range of DFID priority countries.

The overall programme will have 2 components:

1. What Works in Addressing Violent Conflict in Developing Countries? High quality, policy relevant new evidence and methodological advances produced on a. How different interventions affect violent conflict and the risk of renewed violent conflict? b. What contextual factors affect the effectiveness of these interventions?
2. Examining the Evolution of Complex and Persistent Violent Conflicts – tracing the changes in political economy of conflict and examining the evolving incentives faced by conflict actors over time and analysing the evidence on a continuous basis for policy and programming.

The CRP’s overall expected outcome is: “Robust new knowledge and evidence on conflict and the best response to it leading to development of, and investment in, more effective development policies and programmes, by DFID, other donors and partners”.

CRP’s overall intended impact is: “a measurably improved responses to conflict, with positive impacts on service delivery, poverty reduction, safety and security, economic development, and the lives of poor people”.
