The country is estimated to lose $12 billion annually due to violent conflicts. As farmers and herders clash, communities are forced out of their land and sources of livelihood, exacerbating food insecurity and overall economic activity. Whether you are a policy maker, researcher, or advocate, this report is vital for understanding the country's evolving security environment.

A very important analysis! Completely corresponds with what I have been expieriencing for so many years. A former director of mine once said: "The opposite of well done is well intended"- could not agree more! This policy brief highlights the role that donor headquarters play in shaping the incentives and rules of the aid system, influencing implementing partner decisions, policies, and investments. It takes a deeper look at how some well-meaning policies can unexpectedly backfire, leading to new challenges, inefficiencies or in some cases, perpetuate conflict. To do so, it analyses five well-meaning policies common to many donors that can have unexpectedly negative results within conflict-affected countries, providing examples from South Sudan https://lnkd.in/dmnX-kfx

This unfortunate and disappointing trend has created an environment in which municipal departments are unable to operate with the necessary level of independence and autonomy, which often severely hinders the local government's ability to effectively address the varied needs and pressing issues of their communities. 90% of municipalities in South Africa are not foreign to this phenomena.
