Publication

This publication examines the impact of conflict on the development process in four African countries: Uganda, Sudan, Mali and Angola. The author argues that in turbulent situations distinctions between relief and development have little meaning and that flexible approaches which can adapt to the changing needs of populations are vital. The publication concludes that like development, conflict is a political process and should be treated as a strategic issue to be analyzed at all levels including not only the likelihood of conflict and its impact, but also how NGO activities will affect local and wider conflicts.
