yes / P5. The evaluation was undertaken by Bradford University, Channel Research Ltd, the
PARC & Associated Consultants. The United Nations (UN) Case study was carried out by
Mr Pierre Robert with Professor Andrew Mack. The study was carried out through
documentary review and interviews with members of the UN GCPP Steering Committee,
other London-based officials, UK officials and other stakeholders in other case study
countries, staff from the UK¿s UN Mission in New York (UKMIS) and with senior staff at the
UN and at other relevant institutions involved in managing projects funded under the
Strategy.1 The main evaluator also drew on experience from having evaluated a specific
GCPP UN Strategy project, the Early Warning and Preventative Measures (EWPM) training,
implemented by the UN System Staff College, early in 2003. P7. The UN 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
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 meso 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 meso 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.
