Sammanfattning

This report presents the findings, conclusions and recommendations of the evaluation of the policy research organisation
Afghanistan Analysts Network (AAN). AAN has been supported by Sida since its establishment in 2009. Considering the
establishment of the new regime in Kabul in August 2021, AAN and Sida see a need to develop and set new priorities and
objectives. The purpose of the evaluation was therefore to provide AAN information and recommendations of value for the
design and implementation of a new programme. Data for the evaluation was collected through a mix of methods. AAN’s
outcome areas and the thematic focus of its work have largely been relevant. Overall, AAN has delivered to a high degree
against its stated outputs, which are clearly defined in quantifiable terms, and thus has a high degree of effectiveness. The
dramatic challenges in 2021 resulted in some reduction in output, although the effects of this are mostly apparent in 2022.
The evaluation team’s interviews provided strong evidence that key stakeholder groups are better informed as a result of
AAN’s work. The evaluation puts forward seven recommendations to AAN.

Preventing and responding to gender-based violence: technical note

Tematik: Fredliga samhällen Global Hälsa Humanitärt bistånd Jämställdhet Metodstöd

Gender-based violence (GBV) is one of the most obvious expressions of unequal gender relations in a society. It is a grave violation of human rights with detrimental effects on individuals, families and societies. GBV is both an expression of unequal gender relations, and a means through which these are upheld, both a consequence and a cause of gender inequality. GBV has significant costs for individuals, their families and immediate surroundings, as well as for communities, businesses, the development of countries and their possibilities of reaching the Sustainable Development Goals.
This technical note gives an overview of what GBV is and how Sida works to prevent and respond to GBV. It includes relevant international commitments and policy frameworks, areas for dialogue with partners, stakeholders and other donors, as well as forms of GBV. GBV is an area of high priority for Swedish development cooperation. Work to prevent and respond to GBV is mainly done within the thematic areas of gender equality, sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), peace and conflict and humanitarian assistance. Therefore, this technical note aims to incorporate GBV from these four areas.

STABILISATION

Tematik: Fredliga samhällen Global Metodstöd

Stabilisation is sometimes understood as a broad term that encompasses support to durable peace and security. At other times stabilisation refers to a particular type of comprehensive external interventions, also called “stabilisation facilities” or “stabilisation missions”. This Technical Note explains both of these broad usages of the term. The objective is not primarily conceptual, but rather to provide some helpful advice in the form of key questions to consider in order to tackle the particular opportunities, challenges and risks raised in relation to stabilisation and stabilisation facilities through Sida’s existing tools and approaches.
