In M&E, it can often be all about results. However, framing actions in empirically useful ways is just as important, and sometimes more difficult. Two recent evaluations I did with @agencypb made me reflect on this, and the result is the article below.

ποΈSpeakers @diplofrat@Lore_Teodorescu@bervent and Giulia Ferraro share their perspectives & reflections on the role Italy can play in mediation, what barriers exist to Italy developing this role & what role women can play as mediators at this afternoons session of the #BPF2024
Worth reiterating here that the only legitimacy any of Libya's widely despised political class have is their international recognition.
So, this trip and these deals will do little more than entrench the dynamics which make political progress harder, and thus, crisis more likely

It turns out that if you don't call in anti-terror cops to beat, detain, and arrest your students, you can actually avoid escalating violence and chaos, and becoming headline news across the globe, and actually have a productive discussion with demonstrators on your campus.
In less than 2 weeks we will dive into #PeaceMediation at the Bologna Peacebuilding Forum.
A much needed opportunity to discuss with excellent scholars and practitioners and to shape new #peacemaking approaches.

Let nobody believe that a "normalisation" deal between Saudi Arabia and Israel will help the Palestinians. The Abraham Accords, signed during the Trump era, helped bolster Arab states who wanted more weapons + surveillance tech from Israel and the US. The Palestinians were an afterthought, at best:
"Saudi Arabia has decided to normalize relations with Israel, but is debating whether to implement the move in the coming weeks or after the presidential election in the United States in November, a foreign diplomat familiar with the details said.
"Saudi Arabia is expected to demand guarantees that will ensure clear progress on the issue of a Palestinian state in return.
"According to the diplomat, "Saudi has decided to go for an agreement with Israel. It's a principled strategic move, as part of the rapprochement with the U.S., and [Saudi Arabia] is interested in realizing it."
