GCRF Development Award - Preventing conflict in fragile countries through understanding and promoting economic justice

我们对这个项目的总体愿景是与五个中低水平国家（LMIC）的研究机构建立公平和持久的工作伙伴关系-阿富汗，哥伦比亚，危地马拉，南苏丹和叙利亚-加强他们和我们在理解冲突地区非正式和正式经济之间关系的全球挑战方面的能力，并促进更有力的研究和证据收集，这些主题。该项目将举办一系列五个国家讲习班，这些讲习班将纳入一个全球讲习班，以确定可持续和平的一个重要促进因素-经济正义和改革。该项目将纳入一个更大的资助提案（GCRF Network Plus），最终将影响边缘化社区，这些社区经常经历与冲突有关的经济不平等，以及广泛的斗争，以了解正式和非正式经济的相互作用以及哪些措施可以带来可持续的和平。更具体地说，该项目将通过一系列讲习班、伙伴组织的虚拟能力建设和委托范围界定工作，促进专题、方法和管理技能共享，以便：1）阐明特定背景和当地确定的优先主题和问题（与经济正义有关的）受冲突影响的边缘化人群，2）收集和记录当地和/或当地语言的数据，文献，该项目将提高我们的研究网络的能力，以加强有效和对背景敏感的政策和方案的证据基础，防止冲突和促进经济正义。项目活动敏锐地意识到，全球研究伙伴关系具有结构，社会，物质，个人和语言问题，并表现出权力关系，决定了谁的知识，技能，议程和价值观的优先级。此外，历史殖民关系的遗产和当前的全球权力动态塑造了我们所选择的五个背景和国际发展和研究伙伴关系的期望。对此，我们的拟议活动认识到，合作伙伴将有不同的优先事项、关切、时间表和能力，忽视这些差异或假设伙伴关系建立在公平的竞争环境上，可能会阻碍有效的工作方式，限制我们的变革能力。因此，该项目是与五个选定的中低收入国家的项目伙伴合作构想和制定的，其中包括国际非政府组织基督教援助会沿着的五个当地办事处，以及基督教援助会已经与之建立和培养关系的一些非政府组织伙伴。这些组织的投入直接塑造了我们的项目活动，并将由于每个合作伙伴带来的知识，技能和经验而扩大项目影响。

Our overarching vision for this project is to model equitable and long-lasting working partnerships with research organisations in five low and middle countries (LMICs) - Afghanistan, Colombia, Guatemala, South Sudan and Syria - and strengthen their and our capabilities in regard to the global challenge of understanding the relationship between informal and formal economics in conflict zones and promote more robust research and evidence gathering around these themes. This project will implement a series of five national workshops which will feed into a global workshop to scope out a significant contributing factor to sustainable peace - economic justice and transformation. Set inside a larger funding proposal (GCRF Network Plus), this project will ultimately impact marginalised communities, who often experience economic inequalities connected to conflict and the widespread struggle to understand the interaction of formal and informal economics and what measures lead to sustainable peace. More specifically, this project will enable thematic, methodological and management skills sharing through a series of workshops, virtual capacity-building for partner organisations, and commission scoping exercises to: 1) illuminate context-specific and locally-identified and prioritised themes and issues (related to economic justice) by marginalised people affected by conflict, 2) gather and document local and/or local-language data, literature, commentary and other resources relevant to what economic justice and transformation looks like in specific contexts and 3) map local research institutions and infrastructure.This project will enhance our research network's ability to strengthen the evidence base for effective and contextually sensitive policies and programmes that prevent conflict and promote economic justice. Project activities are keenly informed by an awareness that global research partnerships have structural, social, material, personal and linguistic issues and exhibit power relations that determine whose knowledge, skills, agendas and values are prioritised. Further, the legacy of historical colonial relationships and current global power dynamics shape each of our five selected contexts and expectations of international development and research partnerships. In response, our proposed activities recognize that partners will have diverse priorities, concerns, schedules and capacities, and that ignoring these differences or assuming that partnerships are built on a level playing field can obstruct effective ways of working and limit our transformative capacity. Thus, this project has been conceived of and developed in partnership with project partners in the five selected LMICs, including five local offices of the international NGO Christian Aid along with a selection of their partner NGOs with whom Christian Aid has already established and nurtured relationships. The input of these organisations has directly shaped our project activities and will amplify project impact due to the knowledge, skills and experience that each partner brings.
