This report reflects the findings of four individual case study reports commissioned by the Peace, Conflict and Development (PCD) Program of the International Development Research Centre (IDRC). The main objective of this evaluation is to identify the factors (conditions and programming modalities) that facilitate or hinder the research process for PCD-supported projects in countries and regions affected by violent conflict, and the advantages and disadvantages of PCD programming modalities in achieving PCD objectives in such unstable settings.
