“…36 Such support is often stronger in countries where PFM reform performance is considered to be a function of greater state-building efforts. 37 In the case of Sierra Leone, two patterns emerge regarding the political appetite for PFM reforms. First, within MoFED (the lead central finance agency in the country), certain champions have been instrumental in spearheading reform efforts.…”

“…36 The Somali interlocutors were nonetheless content about the arrangement highlighting the benefits from the direct relationship between themselves and Abdile. 37 Abdile's colleague from the Ministry stresses the fact that Abdile was able to come physically to Somalia and work with them on a daily basis, which was a most definite asset for them. 38 For Hosh, it also seemed to increase the level of local ownership as Abdile worked directly under the Ministry, without outside entanglements.…”

“…More broadly, the authors argue, the case illustrates that aid effectiveness is 'a function not just of the technical quality of project design and the administrative competence of project managers but also the extent to which there is congruence between donor and local elites' agendas'. 37 What Works, Why and Implications for Transferability and Scalability…”

“…Since the first election of Yemen's local councils in 2002, which was conducted according to the 2000 local authority law, SFD has launched a series of initiatives to build gradually the capacity of local authorities 37 and prepare them to implement projects directly on behalf of SFD. Supporting local councils was reflected in SFD's statement of development objectives for the third phase (2004 -10).…”

“…Of particular concern, outsiders' solutions could fail to consider Liberia's pre-existing customary, traditional and informal structures. 37 Furthermore, donor projects would need to ensure that investments were not concentrated solely in the capital. The majority of Liberians lived in villages that were difficult to reach, especially during the rainy season, and were hours or days away from donor projects and development in Monrovia.…”

Development assistance to fragile states and conflict-affected areas can be a core component of peacebuilding, providing support for the restoration of government functions, delivery of basic services, the rule of law, and economic revitalization. What has worked, why it has worked, and what is scalable and transferable are key questions for both development practice and research into how peace is built and the interactive role of domestic and international processes therein. Despite a wealth of research into these questions, significant gaps remain.This volume speaks to these gaps through new analysis of a selected set of well-regarded aid interventions. Drawing on diverse scholarly and policy expertise, eight case study chapters span multiple domains and regions to analyse Afghanistan's National Solidarity Programme, the Yemen Social Fund for Development, public financial management reform in Sierra Leone, Finn Church Aid's assistance in Somalia, Liberia's gender-sensitive police reform, the judicial facilitators programme in Nicaragua, UNICEF's education projects in Somalia, and World Bank health projects in Timor-Leste. Analysis illustrates the significance of three broad factors in understanding why some aid interventions work better than others: the area of intervention and related degree of engagement with state institutions, local contextual factors such as windows of opportunity and the degree of local support, and programme design and management.This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal International Peacekeeping, and is available online as an Open Access monograph.Rachel M.

Domestic violence is the predominant form of violence against women in most countries in Africa and Latin America. Scholars have theorized the adoption of domestic violence laws and policies in both regions. However, policy implementation is understudied and under theorized. Therefore, we compare how international organizations and women's nongovernmental organizations have influenced the implementation of domestic violence policies by police officers in Liberia and Nicaragua. We introduce the concept of the transnational implementation process and describe how international organizations and women's organizations have employed training, institutional and policy restructuring, and monitoring to influence police behavior at the street level. The effects of these strategies have been conditional on the political environment. We identify two patterns of international and domestic influence on street-level implementation: internationally led and domestically supported implementation in Liberia, with domestically led and internationally supported implementation in Nicaragua.
