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, answering the above four key questions. Submissions may cover intra-African reparations, or reparations between African and non-African actors. In responding to the overall theme, the submission must account for the following in its policy recommendations: “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) and Regional Economic Communities (RECs) 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 3: PPoR-FVaU” – Abstract by [full name]”. Otherwise, they will be rejected.
