Workshop Report, October 2007
Side by Side or Together? Working for Security, Development and Peace in Liberia and Afghanistan.
Provides a detailed examination of the dynamics and challenges of current field coordination efforts between multiple assistance actors in Afghanistan and Liberia, including an overview of the coordination challenge in international peace missions, case studies of interagency and civil-military coordination in the two countries, and an examination of the diverse organizational perspectives on coordination of major assistance actors. It is a thorough review of the rich insights gained during the March 30 and 31 “Coordinated Approaches” workshop on the effectiveness of current approaches to coordination and coherence amongst security, relief and development efforts.*
*The workshop was made possible through financial support from the Canadian International Development Agency’s (CIDA) Conference Secretariat, the Department of National Defence’s Security and Defence Forum, NATO’s Public Diplomacy Division, the Faculty of Social Sciences, the International Centre, and the Political Science Department of the University of Calgary, as well as the many participating agencies that covered the time and costs of their personnel.
