Abstract
The evaluation was undertaken by Bradford University, Channel Research Ltd, the
PARC & Associated Consultants. The Afghanistan Case study was carried out by Mr
Jonathan Goodhand with Mr Paul Bergne. The work was conducted through fieldwork in
Afghanistan (Kabul and Malaria Shari) where the team conducted interviews with a range
of officials including staff from UK Embassy, GCPP projects, the Mazar Provincial
Reconstruction Team (PRT) and UN, Afghan Government and NGO officials. The fieldwork
was supplemented by further interviews in London and a review of the relevant literature
and project documents.P7. The Afghanistan 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 meson
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 meson 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 meson 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.
