Description of Deliverable
The Research and Policy Analysis Unit, Africa Peace and Security Programme (APSP), Institute for Peace and Security Studies (IPSS), seeks evidence-based and empirically grounded submissions that bridge the gap between theory and policy concerning the three thematic focuses highlighted above. The submission should provide insight on the evolution, status-quo, and existing policy gap(s) within the stated geographic scope at national, local, or regional level. It should conclude with concrete policy recommendations answering the following questions: “what to do?” (action point); “how to do it” (strategy); and “who should do it?” (stakeholder mapping). Authors should be clear on whether the recommendation is short- medium- or long-term. Contributors should be circumspect to ensure that their recommendations are strongly situated within the “African-led solutions” frame and relevant African Union (AU), Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and East Africa Community (EAC) frameworks.
Interested candidates should send an abstract of no more than 200 words to: research@ipss-addis.org; keeping c.mwango@ipss-addis.org in copy. Submissions must use this email subject format: “Volume 2: WitHoA” – Abstract by [full name]”. Otherwise, they will be rejected.
[ONLY SHORTLISTED CANDIDATES WILL BE INVITED TO WRITE A POLICY BRIEF]
