Collaborating Institutions
The MCCRAfrica Project is built on collaboration. The project is led by the University of Essex, with ODI Global as a key collaborating organisation supporting research impact through Work Package 3. However, the project extends beyond these core organisations and works together with practitioners and other partners, each contributing their own expertise and perspectives creating an ecosystem of knowledge and action.
University of Essex
Regius Professor Kristian Skrede Gleditsch (PI) acts as the Director of the project. The project will be housed in the Michael Nicholson Centre for Conflict and Cooperation at Essex, which Gleditsch leads. Gleditsch is a widely cited conflict researcher and has extensive experience in managing and successfully executing large, international, collaborative research grants.
ODI Global
ODI Global leads Work Package 3, which focuses on ensuring the research achieves meaningful impact in the project’s focus countries. ODI Global will work closely with partners and stakeholders to develop context-specific impact plans, ensuring that the research is relevant to people affected by conflict and to those involved in conflict prevention and resolution.
