This working paper is one of thirteen country case studies in the first phase of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute/World Food Programme Knowledge Partnership. For each case study, a joint team of staff from SIPRI and WFP conducted in-country research for approximately two weeks to identify the possible contributions to improving the prospects for peace resulting from WFP programmes. The methodology for this analysis involved a review of programme documentation and of relevant literature, as well as a qualitative assessment through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and project site visits. Each country visit ended with a presentation of the findings and a discussion with the managers of the country office. The presentation led to a discussion of the contemporary political, social and technical challenges of incorporating a conflict lens, conflict sensitivity and peacebuilding work into WFP programming.
