The IGAD Security Sector Programme: Mandate, Implementation, and Effectiveness
type: item
description: This mixed-methods study critically examines the role and impact of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) Security Sector Programme (ISSP) in Mali, a non-member state within the IGAD region. It analyses the programme's mandate and operational framework, juxtaposing its stated objectives against the complex realities of implementation in the Malian context. Quantitative data on programme activities and resource allocation is integrated with qualitative insights from key informant interviews and document analysis to assess the perceived effectiveness and challenges of the ISSP's engagement. The findings reveal a significant gap between the programme's regional security governance aspirations and its practical influence, constrained by Mali's non-membership status, shifting domestic political dynamics, and coordination challenges with other international actors. The study concludes that while the ISSP provides a normative framework, its operational effectiveness in Mali is limited, offering critical lessons for regional security interventions in non-member states.

description: This article develops a novel theoretical framework to critically analyse the mandate, implementation, and effectiveness of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) Security Sector Programme (ISSP) in Sierra Leone. It argues that prevailing state-centric models of security sector reform (SSR) inadequately capture the complex dynamics of regional organisations acting as external actors in post-conflict African bureaucracies. By integrating tenets of neo-institutionalism, regional security complex theory, and hybrid governance, the proposed framework elucidates the interplay between IGAD's normative mandate, its operational implementation through Sierra Leone's bureaucratic apparatus, and the resultant hybrid security orders. The analysis provides a structured lens to assess programme effectiveness beyond conventional metrics, focusing on institutional legitimacy, local ownership, and the co-constitution of security governance. The article concludes with theoretical implications for African studies and practical applications for policymakers designing future regional SSR interventions.

description: This article develops a novel theoretical framework to analyse the mandate, implementation, and effectiveness of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) Security Sector Programme (ISSP) in non-member states, with a specific focus on Madagascar. It critiques the limitations of existing regional security complex and security sector reform theories when applied to such hybrid engagements. The proposed framework synthesises concepts of extra-regional actorness, transnational bureaucratic authority, and adaptive hybridisation to explain the programme's operational dynamics and contested outcomes. The analysis concludes by outlining the framework's implications for understanding regional organisations' roles in complex African security landscapes and its practical utility for policymakers.

Governing Water Security in the Horn of Africa
type: item
description: This article examines the role of institutional frameworks in mitigating water-related conflict and enhancing water security in a region of acute scarcity. Through a comparative case study, it analyses Tanzania’s domestic water governance architecture and its engagement with the Nile Basin Initiative, contrasting this with the more fragmented institutional landscape of the north-eastern Horn of Africa. The study argues that robust, multi-scalar institutions, as evidenced in the Tanzanian case, are critical for conflict prevention, but their efficacy is contingent upon state capacity, political commitment, and the integration of local governance mechanisms. The findings contribute to political science debates on environmental security, hydro-politics, and the institutional prerequisites for cooperative resource management in fragile contexts.

The IGAD Security Sector Programme: Mandate, Implementation, and Effectiveness
type: item
description: This survey research article examines the mandate, implementation, and perceived effectiveness of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) Security Sector Programme (ISSP) within the Ugandan context. Drawing on primary survey data collected from Ugandan security sector personnel, government officials, and civil society stakeholders, the analysis evaluates the programme's alignment with national security priorities, its operationalisation mechanisms, and its tangible outcomes. The findings reveal significant insights into the challenges of regional security integration, capacity-building efficacy, and the interplay between regional mandates and domestic bureaucratic processes. The article concludes with policy-relevant recommendations for enhancing the programme's impact and coherence within Uganda's security architecture.

The IGAD Security Sector Programme: Mandate, Implementation, and Effectiveness
type: item
description: This survey research article examines the mandate, implementation, and perceived effectiveness of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) Security Sector Programme (ISSP) within the Ugandan context. Drawing on primary survey data collected from Ugandan security sector personnel, government officials, and civil society stakeholders, the analysis evaluates the programme's alignment with national security priorities, its operationalisation mechanisms, and its tangible outcomes. The findings reveal significant insights into the challenges of regional security integration, capacity-building efficacy, and the interplay between regional mandates and domestic bureaucratic processes. The article concludes with policy-relevant recommendations for enhancing the programme's impact and coherence within Uganda's security architecture.

Climate Security in the Horn of Africa: Environmental Stress, Governance Failure, and Pastoralist Violence
type: item
description: This policy brief examines the critical nexus between climate-induced environmental stress and escalating intercommunal violence among pastoralist groups in Ethiopia, arguing that environmental change is a primary but non-exclusive driver of insecurity. Its objective is to analyse the specific governance failures that mediate this climate-conflict relationship, moving beyond deterministic narratives. The approach employs a mixed-methods design, integrating spatial analysis of climate data with qualitative fieldwork including interviews and focus group discussions conducted in conflict-prone regions. The core findings demonstrate that recurrent droughts and water insecurity directly undermine pastoralist livelihoods, forcing migration and competition. However, this ecological pressure is catalysed into violence by systemic governance deficits, including the historical marginalisation of pastoralist communities, inequitable distribution of drought response resources, and a development bias favouring sedentary agriculture. The study’s central contribution is its empirical identification of these governance failures as the essential mechanism transforming resource competition into conflict. Consequently, the practical implication is that climate security policy must be fundamentally reconfigured to prioritise transparent, inclusive resource governance and the institutional integration of climate adaptation with conflict prevention, addressing the roots of vulnerability to mitigate conflict risk effectively.

Care Quality and Development Outcomes in Early Childhood Programmes
type: item
description: Early childhood development programmes in Ethiopia's informal settlements aim to enhance care quality and child development outcomes. However, there is limited comparative research on their effectiveness. The review draws from existing literature, expert interviews, and a content analysis of programme materials. Comparative frameworks are used to evaluate the programmes' effectiveness across different settlement types and scales. A notable finding is the significant variation in care quality between settlements, with some programmes providing comprehensive support while others offer minimal assistance. Early childhood development programmes in Ethiopian informal settlements exhibit varying degrees of success, largely dependent on local context and programme design. Future research should focus on improving care quality through targeted interventions. Policy makers are encouraged to integrate evidence-based practices into early childhood programmes to enhance their effectiveness across all settlement types.

Education Subsidies and School Access Among South African Poor Families
type: item
description: African families often face significant economic challenges that limit access to quality education for their children, particularly in South Africa where poverty is a pervasive issue. The analysis will draw on existing literature and theoretical models from economics and sociology to develop a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics involved in education subsidy programmes for marginalized communities. This theoretical framework underscores the potential of targeted educational support to mitigate poverty's impact on children’s educational trajectories in South African contexts. Future research should focus on evaluating the long-term impacts and sustainability of education subsidy programmes, while policymakers could consider expanding such initiatives to reach more families.
