CORDIS provides links to public deliverables and publications of HORIZON projects.

Links to deliverables and publications from FP7 projects, as well as links to some specific result types such as dataset and software, are dynamically retrieved from OpenAIRE .

Deliverables

Scholarly article: SSR & civ-mil

Comparative analyses from the case studies will lead to a peer reviewed scholarly article focusing on lessons learned in the area of Security Sector reform.

Scoping study ICTs

The scoping study report will give a summary of the state of the art and research gaps in relation to the cross-cutting theme on ICTs for conflict prevention.

PME framework

A planning and guidance document outlining the relationship between the project activities, targets, deliverables, milestones and intended strategic impact, in the framework of the project time period, as well as description of how and when progress will be measured.

Research report

An in-depth research report drawing conclusions on strengths, challenges and opportunities of EU interventions in conflict prevention and peacebuilding

WOSCAP Working paper 1

The Working Paper series will disseminate the findings of the scoping studies and Best Practices reports in a public format, presented in the project corporate style.

Case study report Georgia

Respecting the unique nature of each case, the reporting will try to enhance comparability of the cases by adopting a joint format that leaves enough space to include any particular data from each individual case. Each case study report will for example relate to the conflict history, context and legacy, the EU intervention (against the background of other relevant interventions), the specific EU capabilities according to the focal clusters and themes, specific impact of EU activities, possible areas for improvement and recommendations. The case study reports will benefit from advice and feed-back from the work package lead, local partners and the community of practice and will be subject to the quality assurance system.

Review of EU policy institutional level

A qualitative review will be carried out amongst relevant EU policymakers and staff in Brussels to assess the institutional framework in relation to the EU’s Comprehensive Approach to conflict prevention and peacebuilding.

Theoretical framework paper

The paper will outline the research approach, assumptions, research methodology, and Lexicon for the project methodology.

Policy Recommendations Paper & engagement strategy

A policy note will outline the key recommendations to the EU based on the assessment and review carried out by the project. It will be accompanied by an internal strategy document outlining how best to engage EU stakeholders on the recommendations.

Roundtable report Yemen

Roundtable meetings in case study countries, involving a cross-section of stakeholders, including EU regional representation, local and (where relevant) international security sector representatives, relevant regional organisation, local UN agency, local civil society (including women’s organisations), relevant local government agencies, will discuss the case study findings and provide input to the policy recommendations.

Scoping study Multi-track Diplo.

The scoping study report will give a summary of the state of the art and research gaps in relation to the Multi-track Diplomacy assessment cluster.

Scoping study Local Ownership

The scoping study report will give a summary of the state of the art and research gaps in relation to the Local Ownership cross-cutting theme.

The Working Paper series will disseminate the findings of the scoping studies and Best Practices reports in a public format, presented in the project corporate style.

Case study report Mali

Respecting the unique nature of each case, the reporting will try to enhance comparability of the cases by adopting a joint format that leaves enough space to include any particular data from each individual case. Each case study report will for example relate to the conflict history, context and legacy, the EU intervention (against the background of other relevant interventions), the specific EU capabilities according to the focal clusters and themes, specific impact of EU activities, possible areas for improvement and recommendations. The case study reports will benefit from advice and feed-back from the work package lead, local partners and the community of practice and will be subject to the quality assurance system.

An online workspace will be used to organise the findings and complement face to face engagement with experts and stakeholders. The reports will contribute to identifying ideas, problems and challenges for EU peacebuilding which will require further conceptualisation, analysis and problem-solving beyond the life of this project. This will contribute to outlining a set of research priorities at multiple levels of analysis and decision-making.

Scoping study Governance

The scoping study report will give a summary of the state of the art and research gaps in relation to the Governance assessment cluster.

Scholarly article: Governance Reform

Comparative analyses from the case studies will lead to a peer reviewed scholarly article focusing on lessons learned in the area of Security Sector reform.

Copies of ethical approvals

The proposed research will be submitted to an ethics committee at the national level, if such committees do exist and approval by them is legally required. We know that this is not the case in several countries. In the Netherlands, for example, such committees do not exist for the social sciences and humanities. However, if such committees do exist and approval is required in any of the countries where we operate, copies of ethical approvals by the competent Ethics Committees will be submitted to the EU before the end of month 5.

Scoping study Gender

The scoping study report will give a summary of the state of the art and research gaps in relation to the Gender cross-cutting theme.

Best practices Report: Multi-stakeholder coherence

The best practices reports will be based on the research, mapping and stakeholder engagement. An online workspace will be used to organise the findings and complement face to face engagement with experts and stakeholders. The reports will contribute to identifying ideas, problems and challenges for EU peacebuilding which will require further conceptualisation, analysis and problem-solving beyond the life of this project.
