Abstract
P5. The evaluation was undertaken by Bradford University, Channel Research Ltd, the
PARC & Associated Consultants. The ACPP Sierra Leone Case study was carried out by
Dr Jeremy Ginifer with Ms Kaye Oliver. Work was conducted in three phases. The first
was London-based, and involved situating Sierra Leone ACPP activities in the context of
UK approaches to conflict prevention and the overall policy framework of the ACPP. The
second phase involved field work in Sierra Leone, whilst the third phase involved
consultations in London with key government stakeholders. P7. The Sierra Leone Case Study is one of six studies undertaken within the framework
of the evaluation of the CPPs. 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 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.
