    Practical Lessons for Conflict-Sensitive Development

    Reports & Research
    Policy Papers & Briefs
    September, 2009

    This paper explores how a 'conflict and violence sensitive' framework in project assessment, design and implementation facilitates early identification and mitigation of negative consequences of competition and dispute, and promotes sustainable development over the longer term. It discusses the role of renewable resources in perpetuating conflict and violence, and distills lessons from selected development programming experiences in managing conflict risks associated with these dynamics.

    Kenya

    This report examines the legal,
    administrative, and regulatory barriers that are preventing
    women in Kenya from contributing fully to the Kenyan
    economy. Building on the 2004 Foreign Investment and
    Advisory Service (FIAS) report, "Improving the
    Commercial Legal Framework and Removing Administrative and
    Regulatory Barriers to Investment," this study looks at
    the bureaucratic barriers facing women in Kenya through a

    Afghanistan

    This study examines the constraints on
    the housing sector in Afghanistan. It evaluates government
    policy on housing, looks at the state of housing finance,
    and examines legal and regulatory barriers with a bearing on
    the housing market. The report provides policy
    recommendations aimed at helping to develop a private-sector
    led housing market. To assist in formulating policies and

    As donors pledge growing support for
    protecting and managing forests to address climate change,
    the question of how to pay tropical countries to reduce
    their emissions from deforestation and forest degradation
    assumes greater urgency. Depending on the detailed
    implementation of REDD plus at a national and international
    level, forest nations may be able to secure funding from a
    range of sources, including donors and multilateral funds (a

    Eswatini

    The purpose of this policy note is to
    contribute to an understanding of the factors that combine
    to constrain the development of smallholder agriculture in
    Swaziland. It seeks to shed light on why, despite being
    well-endowed in land and water resources, and despite having
    a climate that is generally favorable for the production of
    crops and livestock, Swaziland is obliged to import
    substantial amounts of food to feed the population. Also,

    Many key development outcomes depend on
    women's ability to negotiate favorable intrahousehold
    allocations of resources. Yet it has been difficult to
    clearly identify which policies can increase women's
    bargaining power and result in better outcomes. This paper
    reviews both the analytical frameworks and the empirical
    evidence on the importance of women's bargaining power.
    It argues that there is sufficient evidence from rigorous

    Knowledge exchange, or peer-to-peer
    learning, is a powerful way to share, replicate, and scale
    up what works in development. Development practitioners want
    to learn from the practical experience of others who have
    gone through, or are going through, similar challenges. They
    want to be connected to each other and have ready access to
    practical knowledge and solutions. When done right,
    knowledge exchange can build the capacity, confidence, and

    Honduras

    Honduras’ recent economic performance
    has been positive, especially taking into account the global
    economic context. Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth
    accelerated from 2.8 percent in 2013 to 3.1 percent in 2014
    and 3.6 percent in the first half of 2015. Growth has been
    supported by improved terms of trade, higher remittance
    inflows and export demand driven by the on-going recovery of
    the United States (US), and improved investor confidence.
