| Comments | As with the other AREU case studies on CBDR, this research has focused on four central themes: (1) the processes used in resolving or regulating disputes at the community level; (2) the relationships between community and state actors involved in dispute resolution and between dispute resolution processes at the community and district levels; (3) the principles underlying the outcomes of dispute resolution; and (4) equity within these processes, with a particular focus on gender. Gender equity itself has been analysed with regard to four dynamics: womens ability to access dispute resolution processes and key actors at the community and district levels, their ability to influence these processes, their role as decision-makers in resolving and managing disputes, and the outcomes of dispute resolution processes involving women. |
