Drugs and (Dis)order Interviews with Donor Organisations, Afghanistan, 2018-2019

Collection of semi-structured interviews with government officials, community representatives, donors and NGOs to study the effect of implementation of development projects in the provinces of Nangarhar, Nimroz and Badakshan.

The purpose of the research is to record all development organizations active in Nangarhar, Nimroz and Badakshan provinces since 2002 and to map all programs, projects and policies that have been implemented from 2002 to 2017 in the provinces, in particular where they have a counter-narcotic aim.<p>Drugs & (dis)order is a Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) project generating new evidence on how to transform illicit drug economies into peace economies in Afghanistan, Colombia and Myanmar. By 2030, more than 50% of the world’s poor will live in fragile and conflict-affected states. And many of today’s armed conflicts are fuelled by illicit drug economies in borderland regions. Trillions of dollars have been spent on the War on Drugs, but securitised approaches have failed. In fact, they often increase state fragility and adversely affect the health and livelihoods of communities and households. In light of these failures, there’s increasing recognition that drug policies need to be more pro-poor and aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). But the evidence base for this policy reform is patchy, politicised and contested. Drugs & (dis)order is helping to generate pro-poor policy solutions to transform illicit economies into peace economies. To do this we will: (1) Generate a robust evidence base on illicit drug economies and their effects on armed conflict, public health and livelihoods. (2) Identify new approaches and policy solutions to build more inclusive development and sustainable livelihoods in drugs affected contexts. (3) Build a global network of researchers and institutions in Afghanistan, Colombia, Myanmar and the UK to continue this work.</p>

本数据集为针对楠格哈尔省（Nangarhar）、尼姆鲁兹省（Nimroz）与巴达赫尚省（Badakshan）的发展项目实施效果开展研究而采集的半结构化访谈合集，访谈对象涵盖政府官员、社区代表、捐助方及非政府组织人员。
本研究旨在记录2002年以来在上述三省开展活动的所有发展类组织，并梳理2002至2017年期间在三省落地的全部规划、项目与政策，重点关注其中以禁毒为目标的相关内容。
“毒品与（失）秩序”（Drugs & (dis)order）是一项受全球挑战研究基金（Global Challenges Research Fund, GCRF）资助的研究项目，旨在为如何将阿富汗、哥伦比亚与缅甸境内的非法毒品经济转型为和平经济提供全新实证支撑。截至2030年，全球超过50%的贫困人口将生活在脆弱及受冲突影响的国家与地区。当前诸多武装冲突均由边境区域的非法毒品经济所催生。尽管“禁毒战争”已耗费数万亿美元，但以安全化为核心的治理策略均告失败；事实上，此类策略往往会加剧国家脆弱性，并对社区与家庭的健康及生计造成负面影响。鉴于此类失败案例，学界与政策界日益认同，毒品政策应当更有利于贫困人口，并与可持续发展目标（Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs）保持一致。但当前支撑此类政策改革的证据基础零散、政治化且存在争议。“毒品与（失）秩序”项目正致力于生成有利于贫困人口的政策方案，以推动非法经济向和平经济转型。为此，本项目将开展三项核心工作：（1）构建关于非法毒品经济及其对武装冲突、公共卫生与生计影响的扎实证据体系；（2）识别在受毒品影响的情境下，可用于构建更具包容性的发展模式与可持续生计的全新路径与政策方案；（3）搭建由阿富汗、哥伦比亚、缅甸及英国的研究人员与研究机构组成的全球网络，以持续推进相关研究工作。
