CPAID: The Centre for Public Authority and International Development

Title	Cartoon - Virunga - make ends meet
Description	As part of a series of six comics on public authority in different countries across Africa, comic artist Didier Kassi has illustrated some of CPAID's cutting-edge research on issues of public authority, conservation, justice and livelihoods in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Based on real events, the comic depicts how people living near national parks struggle to earn a livelihood faced with crop destruction by wildlife, armed conflict and competition between different authorities, including park rangers and rebel groups. Research on conservation, livelihoods and public authority The cartoon, Making Ends Meet around Virunga, is based on results from a collaborative research project where six researchers worked together to capture the perspectives and lived experiences of people living around Virunga National Park. One of the oldest national parks in Africa, Virunga has drawn worldwide media attention due to its extraordinary biodiversity and charismatic mountain gorillas, but also due to the extreme challenges it faces; over two decades of protracted violent conflict, there is the continued presence of numerous rebel groups and the looming threat of oil exploitation. Focusing on the heroic park rangers who often sacrifice their life in the struggle for biodiversity, and development projects backed by donors and philanthropists, these media stories commonly portray the park as a beacon of 'hope' for eastern DRC. During our field research in the area, however, we found that the people living around the park tell very different stories. They told us about their daily struggles for survival, and how these struggles are compounded by living next to the park. They also told us about their often conflictual relations with the park and how they fear the rangers. Portraying diverse realities These stories are rarely visible in international media reporting on the park, which generally focus on the wildlife and the rangers, but not the daily realities of people living close to the park. To portray these realities, as they emerged from our research, we found it useful to use a cartoon - as a visual tool. We also believe that not acknowledging the actual lived experiences of people around the park is detrimental for nature conservation, and can hamper efforts to stop deforestation and maintain the integrity of the park. Certainly, a single story about a family (as featured in this cartoon) cannot represent all the diverse experiences people have. Yet the story presented here is based on recurring themes and testimonies in our interviews. The power and artistic appeal of a cartoon can help disseminate knowledge outside the academy, illustrating research findings for a larger audience. As most of the communication about Virunga National Park is tailored towards (mostly anglophone) Western audiences, we also decided to publish the cartoon in French and Swahili. As there are currently many debates happening in eastern DRC about Virunga National Park, and the conflicts that surround it, we hope this work helps to link local and international debates about the park's precious future. Researchers: Judith Verweijen, Saidi Kubuya, Evariste Kahamba, Esther Marijnen, Janvier Murairi and Chrispin Mvano.

Title	Neglected and Nourished - 100 Years of Save the Children
Description	This exhibition at the New Academic Building of the LSE was a collaboration with Save the Children as a way to see Public Authority through their photographic archives. The selection of images on display were a glimpse into the activities of the organisation and illustrated the global reach of the work undertaken by it's branches. Photojournalists, employees and illustrators chronicled the vast history of Save the Children. Through commissioned images, personal archives and campaign posters, we invite the viewer to journey into the past. Difficult moments in the history of Save the Children are also recorded, showing a transformation from imperialism to empowerment. The photographs and archives were from the Cadbury Library at the University of Birmingham, the LSE Women's Library and the personal collection of the Agunlejika family in Ibadan, Nigera. This work has been carried forward by Save the Children to do more research and visual outputs.

Description	Since the closure of this phase of CPAID funding, the team has continued to carry out expanded research in the new phase, including case study sites outside of Africa (Europe/UK) and applying the public authority lens to other contexts and communities. This research is informing the development of the application for the next phase of funding to maintain the Centre, which will provide the basis for new partnerships with NGOs and other organisations which expands the research remit of the Centre into new geographical regions, topics (such as climate change and behavioural science), and policy areas (such as the cost of living crisis). The research conducted under this phase has informed this development and promoted CPAID as a team of leading experts in their field. This promotion has directly led to the formation of new partnerships which will be imperative to the next phase of the Centre's activities, such as Oxfam GB. In March 2022, a 2-day workshop was held at the University of Bath which invited colleagues working in the social sciences across multiple different institutions and organisations to come together and watch presentations from the CPAID team, and consider how their own work can benefit from the public authority approach. Attendees at this event included colleagues from the Institute of Development Studies (IDS), the FCDO, and other universities. The impact of this event was an increased understanding within the academic and practitioner community of the public authority framework of analysis, bringing together policy actors and academics in an effective discussion on 'Governance in a Turbulent Age', substantial engagement with the CPAID team's expertise across topic areas, and the sharing of knowledge from external attendees to inform future collaborations across the policy space. Uganda Research on Uganda by Professors Tim Allen and Melissa Parker on aspects of justice and accountability has highlighted new issues about the integration and rejection of former combatants, and the long-term effects of the experience of abduction by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). The Prosecution in the case that has just been completed at the International Criminal Court in The Hague has drawn on the research - notably with respect to gender dynamics and rape. Now that the ICC is moving towards addressing the needs of victims (assuming a guilty verdict is delivered, the research is being used to assess the effect of the war, and possibilities for restitution. Also, new legislation has been introduced in Uganda to try to offer protection to former LRA recruits - especially abducted children and children born of LRA commanders (of which there are hundreds). Linked to this work, discussions have occurred with individuals and organisations involved in the reintegration of people returned from situations of extreme violence linked to extremist ideology in the UK (notably those returning from 'Islamic State'). Findings have been presented in various meeting in the UK, US, Belgium, Poland, Israel, South Africa, Lebanon and Uganda. Dr Rebecca Tapscott has been conducting long-term research in Uganda on protest and governance. She has now procured a contract with Oxford University Press for a book on arbitrary governance in Uganda (publication expected 2021). Tapscott has disseminated findings at the American Political Science Association annual meeting (29 Aug.- 1 Sept. 2019) and a workshop at Leiden on "Statehood, contention and political change in early 21st century Africa" (28-29 Nov 2019). In addition, she has written a blog on the naked protests in Uganda highlighting a published paper on the subject for Africa@LSE blog (this is cross-posted on Democracy in Africa), and gave an interview at the Graduate Institute, available here. The Africa@LSE blog has 24,000 reads per month with the majority of readers based in African countries. Dr Holly Porter's ethnographic work in northern Uganda expands on earlier work to understand the prevalence of sexual violence and looks at how the war has impacted intimate gender relationships more broadly. It explores how these are governed by various public authorities, both through and after displacement and/or participation in combatant groups. It shows how contestations over public authority play themselves out in people's intimate relationships and how this is changing particularly in the face of a drastic reduction in formal marriages during decades of war. It has also highlighted the importance of space and how this was disrupted during the war to understanding gender relationships. This was explored in her 2019 article supported by CPAID, published in Development and Change entitled, 'Moral Spaces and Sexual Transgression: Understanding rape in war and post-conflict'. She has further worked together with Dr Tapscott to co-author the blog on naked protests in Uganda and co-authored the article published in Civil Wars which explores the topic in greater depth. She has disseminated her findings at the Trajectories of Displacement workshop in Gulu in 2019; at the Politics of Return workshop in Gulu in 2019; at the 2019 African Studies Association USA conference in Boston, Massachusetts, at the Gender Justice and Security Workshop in Sri Lanka in 2019; as well as in public lectures at the University of Cambridge reaching over 300 people. Beyond this, she runs a course as a visiting senior lecturer for Gulu University's Masters in medical anthropology on sexuality, gender and reproductive health and has mentored and worked with students from this program on research and writing skills, with one having authored a number of blogs for the Africa@LSE blog which reflect on their continued CPAID supported research together. Julian Hopwood's ethnographic work on land in the Acholi region continues to show how extensive gaps in understandings and misrepresentations by policy makers of how Acholi land is managed and owned compromise efforts to increase land security and reduce conflict. He has disseminated these findings at fora including the 2018 African Studies Association UK conference, to the Civil Peace Service Programme of German development agencies GIZ and AGEH in February 2019; and at the Trajectories of Displacement workshop in Gulu, Uganda in March 2019. He has also continued to work on gender and security in the Karamoja region where a further round of data collection is in progress. He presented his past findings to a workshop on marriage, in Gulu in January 2020, where he gave the keynote talk to academics from Copenhagen, Arhus and Gulu Universities. Dr Anna Macdonald's research on the role and function of lower state courts (magistrates' courts) in 'the life of a dispute' in northern Uganda continues to show why people are engaging with state authorities to resolve both criminal and civil issues. This work fills a gap in our understanding about what motivates citizens to engage with formal justice procedures in areas of limited and contested statehood, and challenges conventional ideas around procedural justice and legitimacy which guide much access-to-justice policy across this region, and globally. Findings have been disseminated at the 2018 African Studies Association UK conference; at the 21st Anniversary of the International Criminal Court conference at the University of Copenhagen in 2019; at the Trajectories of Displacement workshop in Gulu in 2019; at the Politics of Return workshop in Gulu in 2019; at the OECD States of Fragility Reference Group Meeting in Paris in 2020, and in several meetings with policy makers and donors (in Kampala, Uganda and Nairobi, Kenya). Two papers are currently under review in academic journals and another is in progress. Dr. Grace Akello has conducted ethnographic research on changing Ebola preparedness and response approaches in Kasese district, Uganda. From the point of preparedness for an impending epidemic threat in mid-2018 to heightened response when a sick Congolese family was admitted in a Ugandan ETU. She has disseminated her findings in various academic fora including African Studies Association, UK, IUAES 2019 conference in Poznan, Poland. One of the three blogs published on the Africa@LSE blog is Uganda did not export ebola to the DRC despite porous border, 2019. She has discussed her findings with the District Health Office in Kasese, with the Ministry of Health employees and emergency aid donors like the European Union in Kampala. One health impact of this study is the advocacy of semi-permanent isolation units instead of emergency tents - which were constructed by one humanitarian agency in most health centres in Kasese. Sierra Leone Work in Sierra Leone by Professors Tim Allen and Melissa Parker has highlighted a range of issues about public authority during and after the Ebola epidemic which have been overlooked, including the activities of 'secret societies' and the prevalence of secret home treatments and burials. Findings have been published in social science journals, and also in The Lancet (where they have provoked much interest). A briefing report on ebola was commissioned for the G7 Summit, and was covered I the G7 Magazine (Ghttps://digital.thecatcompanyinc.com/g7magazine/lse-global-policy-lab/).The findings are also relevant for the containment of other new epidemics, and the team has been in involved in ongoing discussions about coronavirus preparedness in Sierra Leone and Uganda - and also in the UK. Professor Cathy Boone and LSE PhD student, Carolin Dieterle, are conducting research on domestic-international land governance initiatives and how they are working to govern (or not) large-scale land acquisitions in Uganda and Sierra Leone will have impactful results. The work is still ongoing. The research shows that many types of land-related conflict that emerge in the course of the acquisition attempts fall outside the purview of "international guidelines for best practice." Land holders' claims fall outside the scope of what the international guidelines can even recognize as rights. This is proving to be the case in many Ugandan settings. In Sierra Leone, land acquirers are indeed adapting large-scale land acquisition strategies so that these conform more to what the international guidelines advocate as best or better practice. The cross-country and over-time contrasts that are emerging can tell us something new about how global governance initiatives work in domestic political contexts, and also about changing forms/ strategies of land governance in these two African countries. Dr Jonah Lipton has been researching the place of the family as form of public authority in Sierra Leone. In relation to the Ebola crisis, his work explores what emergencies mean for people already living in uncertain circumstances, demonstrating how rapid change - while presenting tensions and loss - creates extraordinary openings for 'ordinary life' to unfold. This is the subject of a forthcoming journal article and a book project. His work on 'family politics' charts the relationship between domestic and public politics, examining firstly how mainstream politics is 'domesticated' around family meetings, and secondly, the under-explored forms of 'everyday democracy' at play in around the family. DRC LSE researchers Dr Duncan Green and Dr Tom Kirk have been conducting research that is still under way and too early to predict eventual narrative impact with any certainty. Research partner NGO, Mercy Corps, have shown commendable levels of buy-in so far, despite the sensitivity of the research and its findings. As a sign of the sensitivities around the research, they were asked by Mercy Corps to delay the research visit to Kinshasa, due to concerns over MC's relationship with DFID. A temporary postponement has been agreed. A frank round table discussion of the paper is scheduled for late 2020, and they anticipate that the paper will inform MC's wider understanding of its future role in FCAS. The extent of impact beyond Mercy Corps will depend on the level of dissemination and discussion that can be achieved with the final paper. There is undoubtedly appetite among aid donors, many of whom are thirsty for ideas and case studies of programming. Professor Koen Vlassenroot and Dr Esther Marijnen have also been conducting CPAID research in DRC as a CPAID partner from the University Ghent. They started the Bukavu series, which began as a series of blog posts, and resulted in the publication of a book. They significantly contributed to the academic and public debate on the need to decolonise academic research in the DR Congo, but also in other countries in the global south. They also firmly put the issue on the agenda, to address the invisibility of many 'local researchers', as this has been recognised by other academics but also by people working in NGOs and government institutions financing academic research in the global south. The research they have conducted on public authority and international development in and around Virunga National Park has been discussed during a multi-stake holder workshop meeting within Goma, with all important stakeholders present. They also presented findings to numerous representatives of embassies of donor countries active in eastern Congo. They had significant impact by presenting their research in this way, and continuing engagement, as we noted a real shift in realisation that the people living around the park are facing multiple challenges, and that there are many conflicts between them and the management of Virunga National Park. While before the public dominant narrative was mostly one that regarded the park as solely a success story, they slowly see a more nuanced assessment of the positive aspects, but also the challenges around the park. This has been challenging, as many people have received before only information on the activities of the park, by the park management itself. For many donors it is still difficult to hear divergent information, as the park became for many a 'donor darling'. Dr Tatiana Caryannis from CPAID partner SSRC, has been conducting research in DRC and holding a multitude of events there over the past year. One such event was 'ResCongo', DRC's first national Research Network on Peace and Security, was established to promote and facilitate exchanges among Congolese scholars, and connect and enhance the participation of these researchers in international academic and policy discussions. Far too often, policies that exacerbate conflicts or fail to resolve them are developed elsewhere, and this project aims to elevate Congolese voices and promote Congolese scholarship. Furthermore, CPAID funding has supported two annual conferences (2018 and 2019) of this network that invited scholars from across DRC to submit abstracts, draft papers, and present their work through a call for proposals. Outcomes and working papers have been widely shared with the SSRC's network of policymakers (UN and governments) and civil society and are being edited and published as working papers by SSRC/LSE. In both conferences, we conducted trainings on research methods and on how to use research to inform national and international public policy. The significance of supporting a national voice that can speak to evidence in a restricted political environment cannot be understated. This virtual platform promotes and facilitates exchanges among Congolese scholars, expands the reach of the CPAID research agenda, facilitates DRC fieldwork, and connects and enhances the participation of these researchers in international academic and policy discussions. It brings together Congolese researchers from all human and social disciplines working on conflict dynamics, peacebuilding, and justice. It has connected researchers from the east and west, bringing together communities which until recently have had little opportunity (given poor infrastructure and limited connectivity) to interact in this vast country. Finally, the ongoing development of their research capacity enables a research culture in the DRC that is more responsive to the ways in which research is a means to achieve change in their own countries and is fostering a new generation of African leaders to take CPAID's findings forward. Somalia Professor Alex de Waal has been organiser and co-editor (with Sarah Nouwen) of 'Nationalism and self-determination in the Horn of Africa,' themed issue, Nations and Nationalism, also, joint author with Sarah Nouwen of introductory paper, 'The necessary indeterminacy of self-determination: politics, law and conflict in the Horn of Africa,' and sole author of paper, 'The Ambiguities of Self-Determination: IGAD and the Secession of South Sudan,' forthcoming. This is a journal themed edition arising from a seminar, consisting of papers on Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Sudan, and a comparative paper on the law of self-determination, plus an introductory essay. The papers were all 'accept with revisions', except one which was 'revise and resubmit', and we are in the last stage of acceptance. In the meantime, the authors have been engaged in policy discussions on the theme, which remains highly relevant in each of the countries. Notably, the question of self-determination is highly salient in current Ethiopian constitutional debates, and is a sticking point in the negotiations to resolve the internal wars in Sudan. Professor de Waal has also authored 'Concluding Reflections: Sudan's Comprehensive Peace Agreement: Theories of Change', in Sarah M.H. Nouwen Laura James Sharath Srinivasan (eds.), Making and Breaking Peace in Sudan and South Sudan: The Comprehensive Peace Agreement and Beyond, British Academy, forthcoming. This is the summary and synthesis chapter of an edited collection on Sudanese peacemaking over the last 15 years, drawing the findings together and developing a theory of the roles of peacemaking and peace in the highly turbulent political environments of Sudan and South Sudan. This analysis has informed discussions with HMG (Special Envoy for the Sudans) and the African mediation in South Sudan concerning their approaches to some of the continuing sticky issues in peace talks. Lastly, Professor de Waal has authored a briefing paper for the African Union, 'Climate crisis and the Horn of Africa' (Potential publication later in 2020). This paper, currently in an unpublished form, develops a wide-ranging agenda for understanding the 'local Anthropocene' in north-east Africa. It has been the basis for a debate with the African Union High-Level Implementation Panel for the Horn of Africa, which is convening a conference on security, stability and development in the Horn in late 2020. A version of this paper will form the agenda for a seminar to be convened by CPAID later in 2020, as well as helping to influence the discussions at the African Union conference. South Sudan Dr Naomi Pendle has been conducting research in South Sudan and the research findings have been shared beyond academia in a number of ways, including a research paper that was launched in an event at LSE attended by policy makers and NGO staff in Jan 2020. The research findings were also shared through two events in Juba, South Sudan, including one private event to share the findings with DFID staff and one larger event sharing findings with a wider group, including donors, policy makers, and staff from NGOs. Findings will also be shared with DFID staff in London and a podcast, webinar and a series of blogs have also been produced to disseminate findings of the research to a wider audience.

Policy Influence Type	Influenced training of practitioners or researchers
Impact	I was a trainer in the workshop for enumerators, preparing them to implement Mercy Corps's final evaluation of the IMAGINE programme in Goma and Bukavu, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in May 2019. Enumerators translated the survey instrument from French to Swahili and were taught to implement it using Open Data Kit (ODK) software programmed onto smartphones. A part of the training included water sourcing and usage, employing the Masahani Method developed by CPAID Congolese woman researcher Sandrine N'isimire. Enumerators were taught this material allocation method to collect data on household water allocation to various domestic activities using various household vessels and utensils. They also improved the method by tailoring it to the realities of Bukavu, where residents source water using a multitude of additional vessels. The method will aid in collecting more accurate data concerning household water usage, employed to refine Mercy Corps's water provision strategies (tapstand opening and closing times, location, water delivery and purification).

They discussed key challenges and opportunities for building the CAR's capacity to counter the illicit exploitation of natural resources and the role MINUSCA and other partners can play to establish the conditions necessary for the successful implementation of the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme in CAR. The summary note of the discussion was shared and helped inform preparations for the Africa Diamond Conference (13 November 2018), which aimed to expand the dialogue over the sustainable and responsible management of natural resources in Africa.

Policy Influence Type	Influenced training of practitioners or researchers
Impact	This workshop, held over 5 days in March 2019 (2-3, 10, 17, and 23) in Goma, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), was aimed at reviewing and ameliorating methods using the project 'Going With or Against the Flow', which has evolved from a 9-month to an 11-month longitudinal study of 24 households' personal networks, access to basic social services, and financial governance in Goma, DRC. This workshop focused on defining and coding network ties to account for not only financial exchanges but those of services, social and familial obligations, and favours. These two days entailed developing a coding scheme for such ties that enabled combining personal support network data with network chain data (access to basic social services). We also reviewed approaches to gauge households' assets and liabilities, and finally devoted two days to collecting data on spending and earning (including non-monetary flows into and out of households). Researchers discussed and developed approaches to interviewing and asking questions about money to secure quality data without jeopardising established trust and to leverage already collected data to better assess households' financial positions and responses to shocks over time.

Policy Influence Type	Influenced training of practitioners or researchers
Impact	The workshop, held 24-25, 30-31 March and 3 April 2019, in Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), offered Congolese researchers additional methods training, focussing on direct observation, free recall, prompted recall, material allocation, and cognitive interviewing. During the workshop, each researcher designed their own approach to material allocation, aimed as a participatory method in which study participants used various materials to estimate the amount of water they used in various domestic activities. During exercises with friends and family, researchers compared the data collected using their various methods of material allocation to that which they gathered through direct observation, free recall, and prompted recall. They used results from direct observation as the control against which to 'test' the other methods. Cognitive interviews were used to assess the diverse methods against participants' feedback concerning them: levels of ease and comprehension and suggestions as to how these material allocation approaches could be improved and/or refined. The material allocation approach (coined 'Masahani Method' and designed by Congolese researcher, Sandrine N'isimire, affiliated with CPAID) which yielded results closest to those garnered from direct observation, and perhaps even more accurate, was integrated into Mercy Corps's final evaluations in May 2019 and 2020.

Policy Influence Type	Influenced training of practitioners or researchers
Impact	The Writing Workshop on Idjwi Island, DRC, was held 3-9 November 2019 and included 19 participants, ranging from researchers, lecturers, and graduate students to humanitarians and human rights activists. Participants hailed from Uganda, Burundi, and the DRC, representing l'Université du Burundi, l'École Normale Supérieure, Impunity Watch, Uganda Christian University, l'Université du Lac Tanganyika, and CPAID/LSE. The workshop was organised and led by myself and Dr Astrid Jamar from Open University, and carried out predominantly in French. I taught a mini workshop on blog-writing, covering: why we blog, structure, advantages and disadvantages of the format, representation, clichés, and decolonised approaches. Examples of blogs used in discussions were of Congolese bloggers (Ley Uwera, Esther Nsapu, Cédric Kalonji, Freddy Mulongo, Samy Bosongo, Blaise Ndola, Trésor Kalonji, and Delphin Ntyoma) and those already published by Congolese CPAID researchers on the Africa at LSE blog. CPAID researchers presented their work and discussed their experiences of blog-writing and publishing. Participants were enthusiastic to use this opportunity to write their own blogs, work on doctoral theses, book chapters, and journal articles. The workshop was structured around morning meetings to discuss goals and expectations, and evening ones to discuss progress, challenges, and research overlaps. This was a unique opportunity for these scholars to exchange, interact, and have the space and support to work on published outputs in a serene environment that also provided mentorship from more senior academics. Despite all usually being based in Africa's Great Lakes region, workshops are usually country- or research team-specific, and writing workshops are rarely organised. We have already received 15 blogs from participants, covering a variety of topics, and provided feedback and advice for second drafts. These will be submitted at the end of March, and we have secured funding for translation to make them available in both English and French, increasing access by Francophone readers and visibility to the authors' work and research. We have just secured additional funding of £1400 from Open University's Strategic Research Area (RSA) fund to edit and translate blogs from French to English, using an LSE provider for the translation service. For the Writing Workshop itself, Open University contributed £8000 in funding whilst FLCA/LSE contributed £2500.

Title	Masahani Method for collecting data on water allocation to diverse domestic activities (Water Governance project, Goma, DRC)
Description	A young Congolese woman researcher working on the Water Governance (Going With or Against the Flow) project in Goma, DRC, developed a new methodology for studying household water usage. Coined 'Masahani Method', drawing on the Swahili for 'kitchen utensils', the material allocation approach employs domestic vessels and utensils to help respondents remember the water-related activities their households engaged in and how much water household members allocated to each activity. Essentially, respondents bring out their own vessels and indicate on them the level to which each was filled for various activities. In field tests, the Masahani Method proved to be more accurate than other trialled material allocation approaches, free recall, and prompted recall, and yielded data closest that garnered from direct observation. The Masahani Method was developed by CPAID collaborator Sandrine N'isimire, trialled in Goma in March and April 2019, piloted in Goma and Bukavu in May, and integrated into Mercy Corps's final evaluation surveys in both cities in May 2019 and 2020. The approach is also being adapted for other studies undertaken by Mercy Corps in Bukavu.

Title	Questionnaire on South Sudanese Refugees' Access to Security, Justice, and Public Authority
Description	A formal, open-ended questionnaire created to better understand the actual interactions with Public Authority which South Sudan living in Uganda experience. It involves asking questions about what life is like for South Sudanese in Uganda, what difficulties they might have, and who they go to for help with those difficulties. As some people face some serious difficulties after moving to Uganda from South Sudan, we were interested in the specific people or institutions that someone facing problems might turn to for help and what reasons they choose to turn to these people or institutions. Because of this, we were interested in people's lives in Uganda and South Sudan, as well as the lives of their family and host community members. Divided into two parts. Part A (for South Sudanese refugees and Host Community members) involves 40 open-ended questions grouped into 8 sections, while Part B (for Administrators, Local government, Rwodi, or NGO workers etc) involves 15 open-ended questions. Originally developed in English, this tool has been translated into the Acholi/Luo, Madi, Arabic, Dinka, and Nuer languages.

Impact	Originally designed to be given in the English and Acholi languages for a study undertaken in Kiryandongo and Palabek refugee settlements in Uganda's Kiryandongo and Lamwo Districts, respectively, this tool has recently been expanded and re-translated into Arabic, Madi, Dinka, and Nuer. These redesigned and expanded versions will soon to be the foundation of further, unrelated research conducted by a different research team in a variety of refugee camps in Adjumani and Yumbe Districts as well.

Title	Questionnaire on South Sudanese Refugees' Migration Experiences
Description	A formal, open-ended questionnaire created to better understand the migrations experiences of South Sudanese refugees living in Uganda. This tool consists of 33 open-ended questions grouped into 10 sections and asks questions about what life is like for people from South Sudan living in Uganda, why they may have moved, and if they have ever been back. As some people have moved to and from South Sudan and Uganda a number of times it therefor asks about the specific things or events that make South Sudanese people move to Uganda and/or hold them there, as well as the things that might encourage them to go back to South Sudan. Because of this, it asks participants about their lives in both countries as well as the lives of their family members and their host and home communities.

Title	Questionnaire on South Sudanese Refugees' understandings of the current South Sudanese Crisis (2013+)
Description	A formal, open-ended questionnaire created to better understand what life is like for people from South Sudan living in Uganda, why they may have moved, and what they think about the current crisis in the country. It asks questions about the war, who is considered responsible, and what can be done to help bring peace to South Sudan. It is grouped into questions on the following topics: Individual and familial experience of the crisis (3 questions); Reasons for current crisis (9 questions); Possible solutions to the crisis (5 questions); Individual and familial experience of war and peace (4 questions); Life in South Sudan (7 questions); and The future of South Sudan (2 questions).

Title	Questionnaire on the Connections Between Collective Events and Public Authority among South Sudanese Refugees in Uganda
Description	A formal, open-ended questionnaire originally created during PhD fieldwork in 2014 to investigate the interactions between Religion and Public Authority within one South Sudanese community. In mid-2018 it was revised, expanded, and updated to provide the empirical basis to better understand the actual interactions between Religion and Public Authority among South Sudanese Refugees in Uganda. Consisting of 44 questions grouped into 9 sections, the original questionnaire not only asked about participants individual, familial, and collective experiences and understandings of religion and spirituality but asks varying questions about church membership, event participation, and the connections between their religious and everyday lives and how these may effect - or are effected by - their Public Authority experiences. Although originally designed for participants at collective religious events, due to the nature of fieldwork in Palabek refugee settlement in Lamwo District, northern Uganda, it was updated to investigate the connections between Public Authority and community or collective events more broadly, with a specific focus on the Refugee Welfare Council elections which took place in that settlement in mid-2018.

Impact	Although the original questionnaire developed to investigate the connections between religion and public authority remains unused beyond its original application in different research in 2014, the updated, collective event version was used as the basis for research into the Refugee Welfare Council elections which took place in that settlement in mid-2018. The results of this research have been written up as a blog (see URL below) and are currently being developed into complete academic paper.

Title	Refinement of coding approaches to two-mode relational network chain data (Water Governance project, Goma, DRC, Feb. 2020)
Description	We refined how we can code the exchange relationships inherent in the two-mode relational network chain data collected as part of the 'With or Against the Flow?' study of water governance in Goma, DRC. These data relay the mechanisms through which residents of low and middle socioeconomic status access various basic social services, going through various individual contacts for a host of reasons in order to solve insecurity issues or access education (for example). The complex social ties people use in these processes entail exchanges of future gains (anticipations of favours, monetary contributions, etc.) or reciprocal ones of family obligation. Coding these ties separately and conceptualising them fully in reference to the context allows a more nuanced and complete understanding of how people actually get things done - and survive - in precarious contexts marked by insecurity and feeble state infrastructure.
Type Of Material	Improvements to research infrastructure
Year Produced	2020

Impact	Having matrices for the various exchange ties implicated in accessing social services permits more advanced analyses of this two-mode relational network chain data, and offers opportunities to conduct comparative studies in other parts of the DRC and beyond, should the conceptualisations of the bases of these ties told culturally and contextually. The approach will be published in a future methods paper and made available to other researchers.

Title	Social Networks Research and Financial Diaries
Description	Inspired by others' work with financial and governance diaries, and influenced by Dr Pat Sty's grounding in Social Network Research, we aim to see if these methods dual can complement one another on a new project to examine how households living in Goma, the DRC, cope with insecure service provision and predatory public authorities. We are also including an ethnographic component to further understand the day-to-day dynamics of Goma's tap stands.

Title	Access to Basic Social Services in the DRC: A Social Network Study of 'Rebel-held' Territories, Socio-economic Status, and Gender
Description	Between 27 August and 10 November 2018, with Samuel Keith Muhindo Balume and Batumike Papy Muzuri (CPAID), we conducted 90 semi-structured interviews across three research sites in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) where public authority is constantly negotiated and renegotiated between customary authorities, central government representatives, and current and former members of armed groups, foreign and national. The first research site, Kitshanga, is nominally controlled by the Congolese government but influenced by the APCLS (national armed group); it is predominantly a stable post-conflict context. The second research site, Nyabiondo, was in a period of transition, having been formerly controlled by the APCLS but now contested between its splinter (APCLS-R), allied with NDC-R (another recent splinter armed group). The last research site had just gone through a period of transition, having been predominantly under the control of Nyatura Kasongo until December 2017, and now for the most part controlled by CNRD (foreign armed group). Participants were selected using purposive cluster sampling to ensure that all targeted populations were represented in the sample: women and men of low, middle, and high socio-economic status (SES). Conceptualisations of SES were drawn from focus group discussions with civil society representatives from each research site; these preceded participant recruitment. Semi-structured interviews included socio-demographic questions and participatory 'power' mappings of when and how participants access basic social services. The methods combined ethnographic research with power mappings and participatory sociograms, yielding over 90 egocentric networks of access to basic social services in contested territories of the eastern DRC.
Type Of Material	Database/Collection of data
Year Produced	2018
Provided To Others?	No
Impact	Data have now been coded, including ties, and the database needs to be cleaned in order to analyse the data using statistical software. Social network analysis (SNA) will be paired with qualitative analysis. Once the dataset has been evaluated by LSE's Research Ethics Committee, it will be published and made available to others. Preliminary findings indicate that residents access basic social services in highly personalised ways, drawing likewise on indirect contacts. Services are accessed more through individuals than specific organisations or ministries. Women seem to access fewer basic social services overall. Those of middle SES appear to have the most diversified and complex means of accessing social services. Access to social services is contingent on a combination of social capital and financial means, but functions differently across different areas, based more on stability than of actual dominance of public authority by state or non-state actors. Security is overall rated as the most important basic social service, then employment.

Title	Accounting For and Working With Public Authority in Places Affected by Conflict
Description	The proposed research paper will explore how three well-known international non-governmental organisations (INGOs), Oxfam, World Vision and Mercy Corp, engage powerholders and citizens in fragile and conflict-affected states (FCAS). In FCAS authority is often held and, in some cases, public goods provided by, a variety of actors and institutions unofficially connected to or separate from states. This can include armed rebel or protection groups, religious organisations, community leaders, businessmen and citizens' associations. They can provide everything from security and justice, to medical supplies, food and water. Understanding how INGOs engage them and help citizens to hold them to account is important as the aid and development sector increasingly orientates itself to working in FCAS. The paper starts from the premise that INGOs have been at the forefront of doing this. It will explore how and why this is so, and the local and international obstacles they have faced as they have developed their ways of working. Through interviews with key informants, it will also investigate how each INGOs' own backgrounds and leaders have shaped their current thinking and practices. The idea is to draw out similarities and differences in their approaches, and to understand how each continues to learn and evolve, and what they could do in the future. The paper will complement these overviews with a short desk-based case study of each INGOs' recent work. The research is being undertaken with Dr Duncan Green. Currently, we have conducted 28 interviews with staff from Oxfam, Mercy Corps and World Vision.

Title	Going With or Against the Flow: A Study of Water Governance in Goma, DRC
Description	On 11 February 2019, we began data collection for a joint project with Mercy Corps examining water governance and the charity's intervention in Goma, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Lead researchers aside from myself include Drs Tom Kirk, Duncan Green, and Joe Trapido. I am overseeing the project, based in Goma, and assisting project manager Batumike Papy Muzuri and researchers Samuel Keith Muhindo Balume, Sandrine Tchumisi, Johnson Bauma, and Ishara Tchumisi. Despite substantial challenges in the first two weeks, including collaboration of customary leaders and public servants and a high participant drop-out rate, we managed to conclude 23 introductory interviews with the 24 households participating in the study. Research teams are now typing their reports, coding data into a restructured database, and preparing for further interviews of these households in what is a 9-month longitudinal study of water governance, household management, and navigation of public authority and access to basic social services in Goma.

Sector	Academic/University
PI Contribution	We engaged artists at the l'Académie Kivu Arts (AKA) in Goma, DRC, working with their Director, Thierry Vahwere Croco, to design a cartoon featuring our research on the 'With or against the flow: Water governance in Goma, DRC' project (with Mercy Corps and funded by FCDO). The cartoon will be printed in hard copy and disseminated to the 24 households which participated in this longitudinal study and residents in their neighbourhoods (including community leaders). It will be available in French, English, and Swahili, and also posted on the LSE and Mercy Corps websites once finalised. Should the venture be successful, we aim to continue working with this academy, its artists and students, in future dissemination efforts under the 'Leveraging Investment for Transformational Water and Sanitation Systems in DRC (LIFT) - North and South Kivu' grant, secured through the USAID BAA-DRC-WASH-2018 'Sustainable Peri-Urban Water and Sanitation Services' (currently the project is called USAID's Sustainable Water and Sanitation Systems Activity [SWASSA]). SWASSA also aims to include AKA in activities concerning Gender and Youth, whilst CPAID will consider including AKA in initiatives usually undertaken with Cartoon Movement (hopefully likewise linking these artistic collectives).
Collaborator Contribution	AKA has offered tours of their academy, studios, and meetings with CPAID researchers to co-design the scenario for the cartoon. They have also offered space in their offices to do so. AKA has generously taken on translation and revised the narrative to align it to the audience(s). Artists also attended the dissemination and feedback discussion with participating households on the 'With or against the flow' project to meet them and better understand the project, undertaking further visits in the neighbourhoods to assure a realistic representation of these areas and their inhabitants in the cartoon.

Results and Impact	During a July 2018 field visit to Congo, Tatiana Carayannis and Aaron Pangburn interviewed a number of MLC local leaders in Gemena and visited Jean-Pierre Bemba's property as background for the MLC book. The visit was especially timely as Bemba had just been released from the ICC, and was planning his return to Congo in August after more than 10 years in prison. He filed his candidacy for the Presidency on 2 August. Local stakeholders provided details on the mobilization plan for his return, and early insight into the campaign when Bemba and over 400 MLC candidates would contest the presidential, legislative and provincial elections. However, the promise and excitement we experienced was soon tempered, when the CENI (Commission Electorale Nationale Indépendante) invalidated his candidacy due to his lingering witness tampering charges at the ICC. Months later, after Bemba has joined the opposition coalition Lamuka behind eligible Presidential candidate Martin Fayulu, Carayannis traveled to Brussels to interview the former DRC Vice President for the second time, just weeks before the scheduled presidential election in DRC. She gathered more valuable insight on his views on the recent political developments in Congo, and how he envisioned running the MLC during the upcoming transition.

Results and Impact	The workshop was organised as a partnership between the university, LSE's Firoz Lalji Centre for Africa and RECAP, based at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and Sierra Leone. By hosting the writing retreat at Njala in June 2019, we aimed to redistribute international partnerships to a rural university setting, away from the capital. From the outset the workshop design was co-produced. The team at the University of Sierra Leone identified activities to strengthen social science writing, in accordance with ongoing attempts to build capacity. Rather than arrive with a pre-set agenda, the participants were grouped into working clusters of 4-6 scholars, led by a team leader from LSE/LSHTM. Team leaders were selected on their basis that their research topics and methodological approach matched research agendas of Sierra Leonean scholars. Throughout the week, these sessions were tailored and structured around the career stage and intended output of the attendees. The ouptuts included a blog series entitled Njala Writes with 12 posts from the participants. We also were able to launch a new 2020 writing workshop to prolong our collaborations with universities in Sierra Leone and to create sustained impact on a new generation of scholars.

Titled, "Looking Ahead at Elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo". Tatiana moderated the talk held at the Security Council Report in New York. Hans Hoebeke focused his discussion on the current challenges to a free and fair election process in the DRC by framing discussion within the context of previous held elections in 2006 and 2011. Mr. Hoebeke outlining the opposition party's inability to energize the electorate, the danger of the current regime's control of the entire electoral process, and the concern over the introduction of electronic voting machines as some of the key and continuing challenges to a free and fair election in December. In addition, he cited the negative impact barring of main opposition leaders, Jean-Pierre Bemba and Moise Katumbi, will have on the chances for the opposition party to succeed against incumbent president Joseph Kabila's chosen successor, Emmanuel Ramazani Shadary. After the discussion, Mr. Hoebeke and Dr. Carayannis fielded questions and comments from an audience of UN member states and NGO representatives concerning whether the opposition would boycot the election and the extent to which the election results are expected to cause instability both in the country and the region. Audience members also asked questions regarding the UN's role in the region and the approach it should take in the follow-up to the election and the future of MONUSCO, the UN peacekeeping mission. Hans Hoebeke joined Crisis Group as Congo analyst in 2014. His research focuses on the Central African region, in particular Congolese politics, the role of international and regional actors, and developments in the security sector.

Results and Impact	ResCongo held its inaugural annual conference from September 27-28, in collaboration with the SSRC, the University of Kinshasa (UNIKIN), Institut Supérieur Pédagogique de Bukavu (ISP-Bukavu), and the Conflict Research Group (CRG) at Ghent University, at the Centre Culturel Boboto in Kinshasa. Tatiana Carayannis and Aaron Pangburn were invited to attend as members of the advisory committee. ResCongo, the first national Congolese network of researchers working on peace and security issues, is a virtual platform that promotes and facilitates exchanges among Congolese scholars, connecting and enhancing the participation of these researchers in international academic and policy discussions. ResCongo invited members and interested researchers to submit abstracts, draft papers, and present their work through a call for proposals. Twenty applications were selected after a competitive assessment process. The theme of the inaugural conference was "Insecurity and the Provision of Justice in Urban and Semi-Urban areas in the DRC: Actors, Practices and Perspectives." The conference began with opening remarks from Noël Obotela Rashidi, professor of history and director of the Center for the Study of Politics (CEP) at the University of Kinshasa. Over the course of two days, conference leaders and participants held panels on topics ranging from "Insecurity and National Resources" to "Land Conflicts, Customary Authorities, and Justice." Prominent Congolese researchers led most of the panel discussions, while Tatiana was asked to co-lead a discussion on methodologies, the challenges of conducting research in the DRC, and how scientific research can best inform public policy.

Results and Impact	The dialogue was held in Bukavu, DRC, on 5 Feb. 2021, to assess the implications of the results of a market study on water governance in Panzi and its surroundings for current water providers and future ones seeking to enter the sector. Business models and their applicability to the context were analysed, as well as the mechanisms through which the province could hold them to account as per service delivery and maintenance of extant and future infrastructure. Participants included representatives of water providers (business sector); relevant government ministries (City planning, Energy and water, mayor's office, chefferies, district); Mercy Corps; and academic institutions including l'Université Libre des Pays des Grands Lacs (ULPGL) and LSE. The dialogue dovetailed into a second day in which various business models were assessed and their viability and scalability examined. Future meetings will map out calls for providers to bid for the management of water infrastructure, in the hopes of a future signing of a public-private partnership (PPP).

Form Of Engagement Activity	Participation in an activity, workshop or similar
Part Of Official Scheme?	No
Geographic Reach	Local
Primary Audience	Study participants or study members
Results and Impact	The dissemination and feedback discussion activity was used to present preliminary findings from the 'With or against the flow: Water Governance in Goma, DRC' study to participating households and their local government representatives. It was held on 29 Jan. 2021, in Goma, DRC. The feedback was invaluable in terms of gathering households' assessments of the methods employed in the study; experiences of participation; assessments of water provision and access across their neighbourhoods; and communication of challenges in accessing water. As per the methods, they were deemed at times intrusive and poorly explained in terms of how they worked together to better understand the role of stable, consistently priced water in household financial governance and ability to withstand shocks like bereavement and illness (coping mechanisms). Participants, however, valued the investment of time researchers took to nurture trust and suggested that interviews be held regularly and consistently throughout studies (same day and time at every meeting). They also preferred shorter interviews, with more participatory methods with which they could record their own data. They did continue to use financial diaries to track their incomes and spending, and even introduced such systems in their savings clubs. In terms of social network research, many households seemed to now differentiate between the roles various individuals played in their lives (considering friends as well as acquaintances, etc.). Many communicated a continued confusion as to the relationship between the parastatal water provider REGIDESO, the NGO Mercy Corps, the tap stand managing company Congo Maji, and their own government representatives. This obscurity highlights the need to better explain the complex arrangements to programme beneficiaries. Participants also stressed the need to be involved in both water governance decisions and research activities from the beginning, through, and to the end of such projects (as opposed to being consulted at the start and finish). Many voiced that community members ought to take part in managing water resources as well as research, and participating in both much more actively. Their feedback and experiences will be captured in a cartoon distributed in hardcopy and online, reaching their neighbours as well as Mercy Corps HQ and LSE, and beyond, via dissemination on websites. This activity was led by Congolese CPAID researchers and included two-way capacity-building as they organised the programme and learned from participants, whilst the latter understood better the experiences of the researchers themselves as they carried out this study.

Under consideration were the potential effects and anticipations created by the choice of location for the activity; what results participants and their representatives would find of interest and relevance; how to communicate those results (written hard copy; visualisations; slides; etc.); how to address inevitable power asymmetries and hierarchies; how to create a more comfortable environment to facilitate discussion and feedback; and how to carry out such an activity with poor CIT whilst strictly adhering to pandemic prevention measures.

Results and Impact	The Ebola Prevention and Awareness Workshop was held at Mercy Corps Offices in Goma, DRC, on 23 July 2019. Dr Titine Kiabu ran the workshop and discussed origins of the disease, prevention, spread and contraction, and treatment. The workshop was attended by Mercy Corps staff, Goma residents, and CPAID researchers working on the 'Going with or Against the Flow' water governance project (Congolese and international). Since researchers are conducting a longitudinal study in three quarters in Goma, and also asking about knowledge of Ebola (including sources and which are credible and which are discounted and why), they took the opportunity to share the information they garnered at the workshop with households participating in the study (24 across Goma). These discussions alleviated many households' beliefs that Ebola does not exist and also clarified prevention and treatment measures. Researchers also distributed hand sanitiser to all households, which was generously provided by Mercy Corps. Household members later reported continuing such conversations with neighbourhood residents and further clarifying misunderstandings concerning the disease. Thus participation in this workshop served to not only prepare researchers during a tense period when there were confirmed cases of Ebola in Goma, but also allowed them to contribute to communications efforts, as misunderstandings were clarified and hygiene measures strengthened in households participating in the study and in their neighbourhoods (according to the researchers and household members).

The presentation focused on scantily acknowledged sources of sustained conflict in Africa's Great Lakes Region, drawing on transborder trade networks and historical migration patterns. The presentation was an effort to redirect Australian DoD's focus on material resources and armament as causes of conflict by stressing unresolved, historically-rooted tensions and their political instrumentalisation. The discussion also proposed the comparability of the Central African case(s) to those of Timor Leste and Indonesia, which are DoD's primary concern. The discussion likewise countered prevalent perceptions of Africa's exceptionalism and prompted acknowledgment that analyses of conflict and its causes can be approached with innovative methodologies across various, seemingly disparate contexts.

The paper examined social structural positions of between-group brokerage as those of power and pressure, and the characteristics of those employing them in terms of aspects of public authority in conflict resolution and escalation. The presentation sparked debate concerning methodology and the potential to apply SNA to inform peace negotiations in conflict-affected states.

Description	Observing Covid-19 in Africa through a public authorities lens
Form Of Engagement Activity	A magazine, newsletter or online publication
Part Of Official Scheme?	No
Geographic Reach	International
Primary Audience	Professional Practitioners
Results and Impact	Most discussion of Africa's response to COVID-19 takes place at the national level, focussing on the role of formal state authorities. However, less is known about the role of 'public authorities': traditional chiefs, self-help groups, kinship networks, professional associations, faith-based groups, civil society organisations, multinational companies, humanitarian agencies, organized criminal gangs, militias and rebels. These often operate below the national level and are particularly important in areas where the state is weak or absent. To explore this gap, researchers at the Centre for Public Authority and International Development were asked to provide vignettes of life under, and public authorities' responses to, the pandemic in the places they intimately know: northern Uganda, South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Sierra Leone. This resulted in the atatched paper.

Results and Impact	Dr Rebecca Tapscott, CPAID researcher, participated as a panel member at the launch of a report on community policing written by the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung organisation. The panel took place in Kampala on February 8th 2018. The panel discussed the key results from the community dialogue project report titled 'It's katogo out there: Community voices on crime prevention and security'. The project was motivated by increasing security concerns in the public and a wider debate over the controversial crime preventers that had been (re-)introduced under the banner of community policing by the police in 2014. In June 2016, FES convened a national security dialogue between policy makers, practitioners, academics, and civil society that aimed to arrive at a common understanding of community policing in Uganda and associated roles and responsibilities of police and citizens that is essential harmonious and effective community policing. The second phase of the dialogue project went to the community level. The aim was to give voice to community stakeholders in support of the strategy and policy development for community policing in police and government. Dr Rebecca Tapscott was asked to participate and provide commentary and an academic perspective on the report. There were approximately 70 people in attendance and they consisted of members of civil society, the police, general public, and policymakers including the resident city Commissioner of Kampala, Deborah Mbabazi. She discussed some of the key takeaways on multiple and overlapping authorities and a fragmented institutional environment in the security sector, and the work of CPAID on the importance of local public authority. She has been asked to lend her expertise and skills in public authority to help advise the organisation on further engagement activities.

I organised the presentation and also invite two other academics to present on their research findings that related to other Protection of Civilian Sites in South Sudan. The research presented highlighted looked at the ways people have built shelters as a way to explore how camp residents have remade dignity. Plus, they have used their shelters to remake social diversity despite the conditions of the camp and despite the tendency towards homogeneity in humanitarian programming. At the moment, in the UK government, these UN protection sites are of concern because: 1) policy decisions are being made about the future of the sites in South Sudan; 2) policy decisions are being made about whether the POCS model in South Sudan should be repeated elsewhere. This timely discussion was able to directly feed into UK government policy discussions. Policy has not yet been formed at the time of writing. However, the audience found it useful to think about the diversity in the POCS and residents agency in these contexts.

The workshop was designed to bring together representatives of charitable organisations, policymakers, and the private sector to form consortiums and co-design grant applications for USAID funding of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) programmes and infrastructure development in the DRC. Over the course of these three days, we developed partnerships with Sanergy (a home-grown sanitation treatment system company envisaged and based in Nairobi, Kenya), Tetra Tech (international construction and infrastructure development company), and Verget Hydro (international construction and infrastructure development company) (joining the extant Mercy Corps-LSE partnership). This consortium put together the concept note for a new programme called Leveraging Investment for Transformational Water and Sanitation Systems in DRC (LIFT) and submitted a bid for US$50 million USAID funding over 5 years in response to the BAA. I was in charged of designing the Research and Learning component of the grant application, focusing on LSE's role as the research lead in North and South Kivus and Kasais provinces of DRC: conducting original applied research on the implementation and feasibility of innovative management models for water service delivery in the DRC developed and implemented by Mercy Corps; comparing efficiency of different water network management and governance models to further inform programming; producing peer-reviewed articles on research questions; and developing research capacities in the DRC through LSE's partnerships with identified universities in Goma, Bukavu, and Kikwit. This portion of the programme is budgeted at US$1.26 million over five years. The final proposal was submitted on 3 May 2019.
