yes / P5. The evaluation was undertaken by Bradford University, Channel Research Ltd, the
PARC & Associated Consultants. The GCPP Security Sector Reform (SSR) case study
was carried out by Ms Nicole Ball who has conducted extensive fieldwork on SSR in a
number of countries. This study was carried out through review of relevant documents,
including the reports of geographic case studies undertaken for the evaluation, and interview
of UK-based officials involved in SSR work. The UK-based interviews focused on several
categories of stakeholders: members of the SSR Strategy Steering Group; members of the SSR Policy Committee; representatives of three main SSR Strategy instruments (DAT,
GFN, Defence Diplomacy); representatives of the GCPP and ACPP; and officials currently
working on or recently working on key geographic desks (Balkans, Indonesia, Uganda). P7. The GCPP SSR 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, or given sector of
conflict prevention policy such as SSR, form part of a coherent package of direct
interventions by the international community and local actors to the problems of preventing
large scale deadly conflicts. The micro-level 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.
