This project works to undertake research to map formal and informal security structures in Yemen, in the governorates of al-Hudayda, Ta’iz and one Southern governorate (either Aden or al-Dhali’). The research aims to formulate recommendations on transitional security governance in support of the efforts of the Office of the UN Special Envoy to the Secretary General on Yemen (OSESGY). Project activities include: (1) conducting key informant interviews; (2) undertaking observation; and (3) developing briefing papers focused on formal and informal security institutions at the local level.

This project aims to support grassroots South Sudanese women’s organizations to support peacebuilding and reconciliation in their communities, through capacity building and providing small grants for their operations. South Sudan is at a critical moment, transitioning from conflict to post-conflict, with a fragile peace process in place. Women have played an essential role in the path to peace. This project works to further support enhancing gender mainstreaming and the integration of women and girls’ rights and experiences in South Sudan’s transitional institutions at the highest levels, through a Gender Advisor to the Special Envoy for the Inter-Governmental Authority of Development (IGAD).

Project activities include: (1) providing capacity building to women politicians and women’s organizations to meaningfully engage in the Revitalised Agreement of Conflict in South Sudan (R-ARCSS); and (2) ensuring gender-sensitivity of members to the R-ARCSS pre-transitional and transitional institutions, including in areas of protection, leadership and participation.

This project involves a series of upgrades to the Iraqi Army School of Military Communications (IASMC) located in the Taji Military Complex (TMC) north of Baghdad, Iraq in order to enhance their battlefield communication capabilities and in turn increase the overall operational effectiveness of the Iraqi Army. The project will provide an array of upgrades to existing power generation capabilities, provide new electronic tools, computer systems, and buildings to further expand the school’s capabilities to teach and train battlefield communications skills across the Iraqi Army.

The implementation of this project will increase the number and quality of communications operators the IASMC can train in a calendar year. This increase in capability will allow Iraq’s military commanders to exercise greater command and control on the battlefield, support a greater capacity for joint military operations, and increase the Iraqi Security Forces (ISF)’s effectiveness at neutralizing terrorist networks.
