In our latest newsletter: a new Brief on pathways of change, our FCDO Sahel Technical Support Project, two PEA courses open for applications, an updated Online Library, and Steve Fraser appointed as our latest Principal.

Our new Policy and Practice Brief by TPP Directors Gareth Williams and Neil McCulloch sets out the Pathways of Change framework, a practical link between political economy analysis and action. Using examples from Ghana and Thailand, it shows how external partners can support change driven by domestic actors, based on a realistic analysis of how change might happen.

On the day US troops formally withdrew from Iraq, TPP Principal Niki Palmer asks if we can still achieve peace and suggests how to improve peacebuilding interventions.
