Evaluation of the Conflict Prevention Pools: UK Government response.Department for International Development, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Ministry of Defence, Cabinet Office January 2004 (has links)
yes / The UK Government welcomes the findings and recommendations
of the Evaluation of the Conflict Prevention Pools recently completed by Bradford University at the Government's request. A thorough evaluation of the Pools' unique approach was essential in order to ensure that, two years after their inception, the Pools not only functioned effectively, but actively added value to Departments¿ individual contributions. In this context, the finding that the progress achieved through the Pools justifies their continuation is particularly important. This document responds to the Evaluation's other key findings and recommendations.

Evaluation of the Conflict Prevention Pools: Portfolio reviewAustin, Greg, Chalmers, Malcolm G. January 2004 (has links)
yes / P1. The purpose of the Portfolio Review is to describe the programmes and associated
activities that are being evaluated. Since its main purpose is descriptive, it draws heavily
on existing official documents as appropriate. It should be noted that Her Majesty¿s
Government (HMG) has not previously commissioned a comprehensive overview of the
Conflict Prevention Pools (CPPs) from the perspective required for the Evaluation. Though
various forms of overview of each of the two CPPs have been prepared, the purposes and
therefore the content of these have been different from the purpose at hand.
P2. This brief `analytical history¿ of the Conflict Pools will provide an account of how and
why the CPP¿s have developed in the way that they have. The Portfolio Review does not
aim to provide the analytical framework for meeting the key objectives of the evaluation,
as set out in the Terms of Reference (ToRs). This has been done in the Inception Report,
and this Portfolio Review should not be read in isolation from the Inception Report.
P3. The Portfolio Review provides a description of the CPPs, their funding, their projects,
and their administrative processes to a level of detail appropriate to the purposes of the
Evaluation and the agreed length of the document. For a document of this length (a planned
20 pages plus annexes) to address a program of more than 600 million operating in some
100 countries, and involving the interests of five separate departments of state in the UK,
not to mention significant other stakeholders outside the UK, difficult choices about the
scope and detail of material to be included had to be made. As we crystallize our priorities
for what to include in the final version of the Portfolio Review, given the constraints of
length, we would invite comments as to further material that could be included.
P4. The Portfolio Review has involved London-based research, including interviews with
officials as well as review of documentary sources. This work has included collection of
preliminary information on the perceived strengths and weaknesses of current programming
effectiveness and administration. In respect of existing CPP activities, it supplements the
Inception Report as a guide to the authors of the case studies. For the Portfolio Review,
we interviewed some 25 officials across five departments. The main purpose of interviews
in the Portfolio Review stage was to support the effort of getting down on paper, for the
first time, a comprehensive description, with an appropriate level of consistency, of all of
the purposes, all of the key processes, and all of the activities of the CPPs.

Evaluation of the Conflict Prevention Pools: Synthesis report.Austin, Greg, Brusset, E., Chalmers, Malcolm G., Pierce, J. January 2004 (has links)
yes / P1. The Conflict Prevention Pools (CPPs) are a joint Foreign and Commonwealth Office
(FCO), Ministry of Defence (MOD) and Department for International Development (DFID)
mechanism for funding and managing the UK¿s contribution towards violent conflict
prevention and reduction. The Africa Conflict Prevention Pool (ACPP) covers sub-Saharan
Africa while the Global Conflict Prevention Pool (GCPP) covers the rest of the world. The
CPPs were established by Her Majesty¿s Government (HMG) in April 2001, following a
government-wide review of UK conflict prevention work in 2000. The rationale behind the
CPPs is that by bringing together the interests, resources and expertise of FCO, MOD and
DFID, greater effectiveness can be achieved.

Evaluation of the Conflict Prevention Pools: Afghanistan.Goodhand, J., Bergne, P. January 2004 (has links)
yes / The evaluation was undertaken by Bradford University, Channel Research Ltd, the
PARC & Associated Consultants. The Afghanistan Case study was carried out by Mr
Jonathan Goodhand with Mr Paul Bergne. The work was conducted through fieldwork in
Afghanistan (Kabul and Malaria Shari) where the team conducted interviews with a range
of officials including staff from UK Embassy, GCPP projects, the Mazar Provincial
Reconstruction Team (PRT) and UN, Afghan Government and NGO officials. The fieldwork
was supplemented by further interviews in London and a review of the relevant literature
and project documents.P7. The Afghanistan Case Study is one of six studies undertaken within the framework of
the evaluation of the Conflict Prevention Pools. In accordance with the Terms of Reference
(ToRs) and the Inception Report, the Evaluation placed maximum emphasis on the macro
level: the policy processes in Whitehall by which decisions on allocations are made and
implemented by the CPPs. Considerable attention has also been placed on the meson
level: the degree to which CPP policies and activities in a given conflict form part of a
coherent package of direct interventions by the international community and local actors
to the problems of particular large scale deadly conflicts or potential conflicts. The microlevel
of analysis (review of specific projects) confines itself largely to the way in which
projects impact on the meson and macro levels. The Evaluation has not analysed
systematically whether specific projects funded by the CPPs have been well managed
and whether they have achieved their specific project goals. Single projects have been
analysed to the extent that they reflect on the macro and meson levels.
P8. The main findings of the evaluation, reflected in this Synthesis Report, are that the
CPPs are doing significant work funding worthwhile activities that make positive
contributions to effective conflict prevention, although it is far too early in the day to assess
impact. The progress achieved through the CPP mechanisms is significant enough to
justify their continuation.

Evaluation of the Conflict Prevention Pools: Sudan.Brusset, E. January 2004 (has links)
yes / P5. The evaluation was undertaken by Bradford University, Channel Research Ltd, the
PARC & Associated Consultants. The Sudan Case study was carried out by Mr Emery
Brusset of Channel Research Limited. Work was conducted in three phases. The first was
London-based, and involved situating the ACPP activities in the context of UK approaches
to conflict prevention and the overall policy framework of the ACPP. The second phase,
the most intense, involved fieldwork in the Sudan and Kenya. The third phase involved
consultations in London through October and November, with ACPP representatives, and
specifically with the joint FCO-DFID Sudan Unit in London. P7. The Sudan Case Study is one of six studies undertaken within the framework of the
evaluation of the Conflict Prevention Pools. In accordance with the Terms of Reference
(ToRs) and the Inception Report, the Evaluation placed maximum emphasis on the macro
level: the policy processes in Whitehall by which decisions on allocations are made and
implemented by the CPPs. Considerable attention has also been placed on the meso
level: the degree to which CPP policies and activities in a given conflict form part of a

P8. The main findings of the evaluation, reflected in this Synthesis Report, are that the
CPPs are doing significant work funding worthwhile activities that make positive

impact. The progress achieved through the CPP mechanisms is significant enough to
justify their continuation.
