Conducting Baseline Studies in Post Conflict Settings
After decades of aid support from Western countries, my country, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is still regressing. Nothing is done to improve seriously accountability and transparency. This abnormal situation confronts some people who are pulling the strings of power and would like to keep the status quo. This situation drew my attention and prompted me to understand how postconflict countries strive to get back to normalcy. Besides, postconflict situations by nature seem to condone many countries—both donors and poor countries—from engaging in accountable and transparent ways of managing business. I do believe that in desperate situation of conflict and post conflict all people tend to behave the same way. This is part of our being humans. Therefore, aid effectiveness is the best help developed countries should provide to poor countries in order to meet the millennium development goals and have a better world.

Efficacité de l’aide publique au développement
Les données socioéconomiques, quantitatives et qualitatives, constituent de puissants moyens d’évaluation de la performance d’une stratégie, d’un projet de développement ou d’une politique sociale ou économique. Toute décision en dépend. La puissance de ces données tient surtout à la capacité de consensus qu’elles peuvent engendrer. Pourtant, les plus grandes agences de développement aussi bien bilatérales que multilatérales ne s’accordent guère sur le contenu des critères d’évaluation de la qualité des données. La question devient plus complexe lorsqu’on considère la diversité des domaines autour desquels gravite la problématique du développement socio...
Kenyaís Past as Prologue
During the run-up to Kenya's 2013 general elections, crucial political and civic questions were raised. Could past mistakes, especially political and ethnic-related violence, be avoided this time round? Would the spectre of the 2007 post-electoral violence positively or negatively affect debates and voting? How would politicians, electoral bodies such as the IEBC, the Kenyan civil society, and the international community weigh in on the elections? More generally, would the 2013 elections bear witness to the building up of an electoral culture in Kenya, characterized by free and fair elections, or would it show that voting is still weakened by political malpractices, partisan opinions and emo...
Elections In Independent Africa
The electoral process has been an integral part of the political landscape of independent Africa for more than a quarter-century and has roots going back to traditional African societies. An examination of the independence period demonstrates the rich diversity of forms, experiences, and meanings of elections in Africa. For some observers, elections are a clear example of multiple failures in Africa-the failure of democracy and institutional transfer and the breakdown of much of the African political process in general. The authors of this book argue that elections in Africa have played a much more significant role than has commonly been recognized; that in spite of problems, elections are a...
The Well-being Transition
The purpose of this volume, bringing together key actors of the well-being community, including scholars and policy-makers, is to advance the understanding and undertaking of the well-being transition away from growth and toward resilience and sustainability, at a time when this progress has become a vital necessity. A decade after the publication of the Stiglitz Report (2009), alternative visions to GDP and growth, that flourished in the 1970s, have re-emerged from all corners of the world, at all levels of governance. Yet, GDP and growth remain very much dominant in defining public policies, influencing businesses and shaping imaginaries. This book moves forward on two urgent tasks that stand before us in order to make progress in the well-being transition: first, connecting well-being to sustainability in a consistent framework highlighting their complementarity, using health as a pivot; second, operationalizing well-being indicators, i.e. integrating them into policy at all levels of governance.
