REPORT: Seeing in Systems, Working in Networks: Adapt Wins USAID Prize for Peacebuilding in Myanmar
Happy to announce that Adapt Peacebuilding won the 2018 USAID CLA Case Competition prize! Big congrats to our Myanmar colleagues. The full award winning case report is available for download.
This case describes a Collaborating, Learning, and Adapting (CLA) approach in a highly conflict-affected region of northern Myanmar between 2013-16. A CLA approach was desirable in this area because it has highly fluid security, political, and humanitarian dynamics, and because access is restricted to international actors, and requires that all interventions are based on local knowledge and agency. The challenge that this case addressed was how local communities can sustainably drive their own peacebuilding and development outcomes with minimal international support, and in the midst of unpredictable and changing local dynamics.
