The term “development effectiveness” can currently be understood in more ways than one. If you had to offer a definition, would you primarily explain development effectiveness as:
Organizational effectiveness

Title of Project Access and Action: Monitoring Gender (Un)Equal Access to Justice and Public Security in Fragile States
Key Staff Involved Stephen Baranyi, Jennifer Salahub,
Research Period 2008 - 2010
Output Joint introductory working paper, 3 national working papers, a synthesis report


What challenges do women face in accessing justice and security in places like Afghanistan, Haiti and the occupied Palestinian territories?  How are they different from the challenges faced by men?  What can national governments and the international community do to make sure women and men have equal access to these important services? 

With partners in these three countries, NSI is addressing these questions and sharing the results with policy makers and non-governmental organizations domestically and internationally.

In 2005, CIDA commissioned NSI to review emerging donor thinking on fragile states, to review policy frameworks and programming tools used in related areas such as peacebuilding, and to draw on those analyses to help it strengthen the gender dimensions of its own fragile states strategy. Using the papers NSI produced, a workshop was held in May 2006. NSI (Salahub) produced a Report which specifically identified the need for further research in this area.
