National audience ; In Northern Mali, natural depressions are filled when the Niger River overflows. They are therefore of high value for agriculture. The government chose to construct heavy irrigation infra-structures as a priority for the development of the region. As social peace in Northern Mali is an important issue, this priority has economic, social, and political consequences. Nevertheless, the analysis of the story of Lake Horo development (the only lake that has been developed for irrigation in Mali) and its consequences leads to questions about developmental strategies based solely on irrigation, when the traditional flood recession agriculture advantages are still valuable in this kind of natural and social context.

Under its Health in Africa Initiative, IFC intended to conduct a country assessment of the private health sector in Mali, working in close collaboration with the World Bank and the Government of Mali.The Core objective of the Mali Country Assessment Report was to work closely with the Government of Mali and Development partners to develop recommendations for a reform program to strengthen the existing policy framework for the public-private interface in the health sector and to improve the delivery of health related goods and services for all Malians.As part of this, the purpose of the book wa

Within the field of international peace and security, policy makers and analysts alike commonly treat collaboration and convergence among international organizations and intervention frameworks as a policy objective in itself. Indeed, from the focus on the 'comprehensive approach', during the 2000s, to the recent emphasis on multi-dimensional and integrated stabilization frameworks, institutional collaboration is cast as inherently positive and desirable in regard to addressing international collective matters. This article challenges such 'collaboration bias'. It does so by exploring the empirical effects of increasing collaboration and 'strategic partnerships' within the context of the current (re)turn to stabilization interventions. Specifically, focusing on Mali, it unpacks how contemporary stabilization efforts intensify collaboration across counterterrorism and peacekeeping interventions in ways that undercut policy implementation within one of the most central peacekeeping priority areas, namely the Protection of Civilians (PoC). In detailing key aspects on which contemporary peacekeeping-counterterrorism entanglements compromise protection efforts, the article conveys some of the 'dark sides' of cooperation regimes. It moreover highlights the need to not only explore regime complexity as a systemic feature of world politics but also unpack how it operates, and to what effect, at the meso and micro levels of policy implementation and practice.

In diesem Beitrag wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie ein feministisches und postkoloniales Verständnis von informierten Einverständnisprozessen aussehen kann und welche konkreten Schlussfolgerungen für die Forschungspraxis daraus resultieren können. Dabei wird zunächst der historische Entstehungskontext in der medizinischen Forschung beleuchtet und die daraus hervorgehenden Dimensionen - Kompetenz, Verständnis, Information, Freiwilligkeit und Autorisierung - erläutert. Ausgehend von Perspektiven der feministischen Sozialforschung und der feministischen Ethik wird aufgezeigt, dass informiertes Einverständnis über den rechtlich-formalen Akt hinausgehen und als kollaborative und prozessorientierte Aushandlung zwischen Forscher_innen und Forschungsteilnehmer_innen konzipiert werden sollte. Es ist wichtig, soziale und gesellschaftliche Zusammenhänge in Einverständnisprozesse einzubeziehen, d.h. Subjekte im Sinne der intersektionalen Ethics of Care als relational zu begreifen und den Einfluss von sozialen Strukturen zu reflektieren. Auf Basis einer feministisch-postkolonialen Ethik wird hervorgehoben, dass es notwendig ist, bestehende Ungleichheiten anzuerkennen, um diese nicht zu reproduzieren. Flexible und wiederholbare Formate der Einverständniserklärung oder das Etablieren von gemeinsamen Diskussionen sowohl in den Einverständnisprozessen als auch in der Ergebnisdarstellung sind Beispiele für mögliche Umsetzungen in der Forschungspraxis.
