Challenges

How to do Development here?

The Development Conundrum• Why a Difficult area?

– History

– Governance Systems

– Conflict

– Collapsed Social Structures

Uncertainty and Complexity……

• Absence of good information

• Conflict…Insurgency, Sectarian, Security Issues…

• Issues of Access

• Winning Space

• Inclusiveness

• Culture

Navigating Complex Environments• Blue Print Vs Process Approach• Fit Vs Best Practice Approach• Building on Humanitarian Programmes• Public Credibility• Managing Visibility

– Keep Low Profile– Have Local Staff on board to the level possible– HR & Procurement Policies to respond to local environment

Wining Space: – Hardware VS Software– Relationship vs Institutions

• Holistic Programmes• M&E
