Abstract
Over the past decade, numerous conflict transformation organisations have emerged,
which aim to protect the civilians from conflict and to establish a more secure and just
environment in (post) conflict areas. Despite many efforts, the extend of the impact of
these organisations’ projects remains unclear. Do these projects really contribute
significantly to more peaceful, just and safe communities? How do these projects affect
the beneficiaries? In order to know if conflict transformation projects really contribute to
more security and justice, it is important to evaluate their impact. By gaining knowledge
and understanding of the projects’ effects, negative outcomes can be prevented in the
future. Furthermore, impact evaluation can improve the legitimacy and credibility of
conflict resolution work.
This thesis will focus on the question “To what extend do, in the case of Sri Lanka, NGO
conflict transformation projects for fragile states contribute to more security and justice?”
By use of an impact evaluation framework, projects concerning security and justice will be
evaluated in order to see if these projects in Sri Lanka have contributed to a safer and
secure environment. In order to achieve this goal, this thesis will use a case study to
evaluate the impact of two projects in Sri Lanka from the Dutch relief organisation
Cordaid.
