Dynamics of destabilisation in development interventions in South Kordofan, 2005-2011

This working paper provides an analysis of development interventions in South Kordofan between 2005 and 2011, a period marked by political volatility and violent conflict. The author examines the impact of the political context on planning, implementation, and evaluation of these interventions, with a focus on governance, infrastructure, water resource management, and other key areas. The document also discusses the challenges faced in the formation of development committees and the collection of data on poverty levels and demography in the region. Overall, the paper provides valuable insights on the development interventions in South Kordofan during the interim period (2005-2011) and offers lessons for future interventions in similar contexts.
