With tensions between #Armenia and #Azerbaijan flaring recently over Nagorno-Karabakh, ORB took a look at how Armenia's public perceptions on #security partners are changing. Notably, the U.S. is gaining favorability.

Last year, ORB employed the Community Generated Indicators (CGI) approach to support USAID’s understanding of indicators of peace and VE in the Liptako-Gourma region. To do this, we developed a training toolkit on using CGI. You can find the toolkit here: https://t.co/DcRcB6hwqN

Agricultural Biotechnology, such as GMOs, provides a solution to mitigate some of the effects of the #climatechange. However, some countries are keener to adopt the technology over others. How should the conversation be framed elicit more support? https://t.co/slNQbifFj1
