Abstract

"Identify literature which shows how non-conflict (e.g. humanitarian, environmental) interventions have impacted on the de-escalation of conflict and acceptance of negotiations. Where possible, focus on contexts of protracted, multi-actor conflicts and the role of local conflict actors."

There is a broad range of academic and grey literature that looks at non-conflict interventions and its impact on de-escalation of conflict and reduction of violence. There seems to be little in relation to the acceptance of negotiations. Of this literature there are a few studies of high quality that demonstrate a clear connection between the intervention and reduction in violence or conflict. The quality assessment of the literature is based on the criteria set out in the how-to note on assessing the strength of evidence (i.e. DFID 2014). This report focuses on those studies and, in particular, those related to protracted conflict and involving local actors.
