Project Participants in Sierra Leone |
With partners Fambul Tok (Sierra Leone), Catalyst for
Peace (US), Refugee Law Project (Uganda), Green String Network (Kenya),
and the Research and Advocacy Unit and African University (Zimbabwe), I am managed to secure a seed grant to develop a Global Challenges Research Fund
project to bring together partners to consider: "What are the
internal-external framework and relationships that genuinely, in
practice, support the creation of resilient communities facing ongoing
and dynamic peace and development challenges, and how can communities,
local organisations and international donors help to grow these?" A
large inter-country meeting took place in Freetown in 22-26 January
2018. A range of new initiatives will now flow from the meeting
including joint research and proposals.
