A strategic conflict analysis for the Great Lakes region
- 2004
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The purpose of this study is to give some input to the preparation process of a new regional strategy for Swedish international development co- operation in the Great Lakes region. The report draws on a number of field visits carried out from May to November 2003. Extensive reviews of secondary material were also conducted. The report is organised in a three sections: the first section with an intro- duction and theoretical point of departure and an overview of the major sources of conflicts on the regional level, a chapter on regional conflict resolu- tions mechanisms and lastly a chapter outlining crosscutting issues from the country analyses; the second section consists of a chapter on scenarios and a chapter on policy recommendations; the third section consists of country analyses of Rwanda, Burundi, DRC, Uganda and Kenya. In the country analyses, we show the major structural, proxy and triggering factors behind the current conflict configuration. The country analyses constitute the stepping- stone for the crosscutting issues and regional analysis in section two. The overall conclusion of our work is that the peace process has taken some very important steps forward during 2003. Both the governments of the region, and the international donors display a commitment to peace and development. Despite certain local outbreaks of violence in more than one of the countries, the generalised violence has come to a halt. However, this situation cannot be taken for granted, and there are still risks for reversals. It is this perspective the future role of the international community must be seen. Among the concepts included in our theoretical points of departure are the well-known distinction between direct violence and structural violence. The present military situation, with fading expres- sions of violence, means that direct violence in the region is fading, while there are still no signs of any coherent strategy for what we have chosen to call structural violence reduction. Thus, first and foremost, the international donors should at all costs promote a development strategy which is based the immediate need to direct all efforts to reduce the structural violence in the region. Basically, this is about dealing with people’s basic needs satisfaction. Without this, huge amounts of people, not least young people, in the region will continue to be vulnerable and receptive for any kind of mobilisation to renewed direct violence.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The objective with the project "A Matter of Choice? Cost Sharing in Health and Education form a Rights of the Child Perspective" was initially to study the effects of the introduction of user fees in the health and education sectors. The study thus brings user fees for both health and education into the same framework. With the abolition of school fees and other fees in 2001 and 2002, the focus of the study has been slightly changed to study how children's rights to health and education have been affected by the ongoing reforms of the economy, the administration and the reforms in the health and educational sector.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The chapter present findings from a field reseaerch in Geita District on the effect on childrens right to health and eduction when cost-sharing was introduced in the context of the neoliberal structural adjusments programs. The study finds that school enrolment fell dramaticall and dropout rates dramatically increased. In particular among poor households. We analysed the findings with Amartya Sen's capability approach and conclude that childrens right's to education as well as their capabilities drastically has been reduced as a consequence of cost sharing. The quality of education has not improved either.
