issued under this project:

Joint Research with NUPI on the Study of Conflict in Swat
RIPORT has completed a joint research project in collaboration with NUPI of
Norway, dealing with identifying the main causes of conflict in Swat.
Early Warning and Correction Project in collaboration with USAID
RIPORT was selected to create an Early Warning & Correction Project for the
internally displaced persons numbering more than 500,000. The project's value
was Rs. 12,421,200 and its core function was to remove problems of coordination
in the field between the donor agencies and the regulating authorities while
ensuring that the relief reached the IDPS in real time.
In implementing this project RIPORT made maximum use of IT technology to create
a real time grievance redressal system for the IDPS. It was found to be an
innovative approach in this field and the first of its kind. The project was
closed after achieving all its objectives when the IDPs returned home.
