Notice Title
The Peace & Conflict Resolution Evidence Platform Service Agreement
Notice Description
The Peace and Conflict Resolution Evidence Platform is a 7-year accountable grant held by Edinburgh Law School from the UK's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), with a value of over 19m GBP. Edinburgh Law School leads a consortium of partner organisations in the delivery of the grant, which includes over 75 individual research projects and is now in year 5 of delivery. The aim of this research is to contribute to donors understanding of how to engage with highly fragmented constitutional environments - and the contextual and systemic complexity which all actors have to navigate. It also provides a basis for cross-context learning - across conflict contexts, but also where appropriate extending this to non-conflict and Global North contexts, in which patchworks of constitutional relationships, produced and mediated through a range of micro-bureaucratic practices, also pertain.
Lot Information
Lot 1
PeaceRep and FCDO will work with a contractor on one research project together. The aim of this research is to contribute to donors understanding of how to engage with highly fragmented constitutional environments - and the contextual and systemic complexity which all actors have to navigate. It also provides a basis for cross-context learning - across conflict contexts, but also where appropriate extending this to non-conflict and Global North contexts, in which patchworks of constitutional relationships, produced and mediated through a range of micro-bureaucratic practices, also pertain. This project has three strands. Strand 1 : At a high level, this project is interested in the variety of forms of political relationship within an ecosystem; their genesis and interactions; and their arrangement into a more or less functioning "constitutional patchwork". This work is theoretical and comparative, informed by on-the-ground experiences. Strand 2 : At a meso-level, this project drills down into the political economic aspects of high-level inquiry. It focuses on financing as a constitutional practice. Stand 3: Policy engagement
Procurement Information
The research contributes to donors' understanding of how to engage with highly fragmented constitutional environments - and the contextual and systemic complexity which all actors have to navigate. It also provides a basis for cross-context learning - across conflict contexts, but also where appropriate extending this to non-conflict and Global North contexts, in which patchworks of constitutional relationships, produced and mediated through a range of micro-bureaucratic practices (especially fiscal), also pertain. ODI has crucial expertise in this regard and they are the only supplier identified to produces leading analytical work at the juncture of these three themes: applied political economy analysis in fragile states, adaptive development, and public financial management. No alternative or substitute would be suitable for the requirements as it would have an impact on the research outputs.
