Each year, the Civil Society Building Knowledge Programme supports a number of ISS students to conduct research on issues pertaining to the main questions of the programme. This year, five ISS students were awarded a research grant. Last week, after extensive preparation at ISS and consultation with HIVOS staff and partners, they departed for countries ranging from Uganda to Nicaragua to do their field research. You can find summaries of the research projects here. During the next few months, the researchers will also post regular accounts on their experiences and reflections on this website. In November, HIVOS and ISS will organize a seminar to discuss the research findings.
