TWP Newsletter - Spring Edition

[TWP Community]

Dear All,

We have just published the TWP Newsletter – Spring edition.

 

Here are some of the highlights:

 

• In our featured interview, we speak with Ronnie Ojwang, Country Director of the Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy (NIMD) in Kenya, who shares with us some of the work that NIMD and partners are doing to encourage young people to participate more fully in the Kenyan political system, especially at a time of heightened tensions and growing disillusionment with how democracy is working.

 

• We have 2 new publications:
• A  paper by Graham Teskey reflecting on his three-decade-long career in governance, which serves as a kind of Valedictory essay as he steps down as co-Chair of our Steering Committee.
• A case study by Gopa Thampi and Nicola Nixon which chronicles The Asia Foundation’s efforts to support subnational governance reform in Sri Lanka from 2005 to 2020 within an ever shifting, and often not very auspicious, political environment.

 

• Lisa Denney and Alina have written a policy brief on the importance of Thinking and Working Politically in Security Sector Reform. This was in collaboration with ODI.
• Josie Stewart and Catherine Masterman share some ideas  on how to address the disconnect between efforts to combat ‘dirty money’ and wider development approaches.
• Naysan Adlparvar’s reviews the chapter “Everyday Political Economies of Peacebuilding” in the Routledge Handbook of Peacebuilding, edited by Roger Mac Ginty.
• David Jacobstein’s top highlights from the last few months on publications and other resources related to international support to peace, equality, and justice
