Aid policy and programming in fragile and conflict-affected situations often assumes that investing in improved service delivery, justice and security can contribute to state-building and peace-building. Surveys are increasingly used to better understand the attitudes and perceptions of people in conflict-affected countries but their impact on decisions about aid interventions is less clear. This public meeting, organised by the Secure Livelihoods Research Consortium (SLRC) and hosted by ODI will explore the challenges associated with delivering perception surveys in fragile and conflict-affected situations (FCAS), share findings from two surveys in Haiti and Afghanistan and assess how far these two perceptions surveys have successfully influenced aid policies.

A conference of leading global experts working on the financing of social protection was convened by ODI on 26/7 May.
The objective of this conference was to promote dialogue between key research and policy agencies working on issues relating to the financing of social protection in Low Income Countries, and to contribute to effective policy responses to the challenge of the provision of large scale social protection provision in the 2010s in a rapidly changing political and economic climate.

Five years from the 2015 deadline for achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), world leaders at the United Nations MDG Summit in New York must agree on how best to accelerate progress. There is no time for scepticism or naivety. The MDGs need critical friends – friends who acknowledge their value, recognise their failings and have something sensible to say about next steps. ODI has produced a range of materials that provide such critical friendship.
