“The War-torn Societies Project (WSP) encourages main external and internal actors in war-torn countries to collectively analyse the complex interactions between peace-keeping, relief, rehabilitation and development activities, and between local, national and external actors. Participatory action-research is used as a tool to jointly define policies that could lead to a better integration of different forms of international assistance — humanitarian, economic, political, military — and to a better alignment of such assistance with local and national efforts.”
