Centre on Human Rights in Conflict (CHRC)
“Peace negotiators are increasingly willing to include armed groups in state governance in their efforts to establish lasting structures of power in the wake of civil wars. Experiences in Sri Lanka, Sudan and Columbia clearly demonstrate the limited and potentially dangerous effects of such an approach.” Professor Chandra Lekha Sriram, Director, Centre on Human Rights in Conflict

Institute for Health and Human Development
“Our research is specifically designed to identify what works and what doesn’t work in real communities. We are inundated with health interventions and promotion campaigns, yet without properly controlled research and evaluation it is very difficult to establish how successful any of these actually are.” Professor Adrian Renton, Director, Institute for Health and Human Development
