    Publication - Research reports and studies - 31 March 2013
    Sarah Collinson and Mark Duffield with Carol Berger, Diana Felix da Costa and Karl Sandstrum
    This publication reflects on the increasing presence of humanitarian agencies in insecure environments and risk management – and the fundamental tension between ‘staying’ and ‘staying safe’. It argues for efforts to broaden and deepen the risk agenda beyond the immediate preoccupations of ostensibly manageable security risks, but which encompasses attention to the host of interconnected challenges and hazards involved.
  7. Tearfund WASH service delivery in South Sudan: contributions to peace-building and state-building

    Publication - Research reports and studies - 21 March 2013
    Mickelle Kooy and Leni Wild
    This report forms part of a one-year DFID-funded research project, implemented by Tearfund and ODI, that aims to explore the links between service delivery of water supply and sanitation and the wider processes of state-building and peace-building in fragile and conflict-affected states. It has focused on Tearfund’s water supply, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) interventions implemented through the ‘Capacity Building to Improve Humanitarian Action in the Water Sanitation and Hygiene’ programme, funded by DFID CHASE. The objective of the programme was to increase the capacity of Tearfund disaster management team operations, local partner projects and local government departments in conflict-affected and humanitarian contexts, to support improved access to potable water, sanitation and public health education (PHE), resulting in sustainable improved health, well-being and dignity for grassroots communities.
