Understanding atypical resilience enablers of street youth in Harare, Zimbabwe
There is limited understanding of the circumstances leading street youth to rely on atypical resilience enablers. Atypical resilience enablers are unconventional strategies, often negatively judged by society or the law, which allow street youth to survive on the streets. We respond to this knowledge gap by documenting a 2REST study (Responsibilities for Resilience Embedded in Street Temporalities), exploring atypical resilience enablers of Harar…
Conceptualising street youth lived resilience in African cities
Youth, embedded in street life in African cities, experience multiple daily and longer-term stressors which impact their socio-economic circumstances and capacities to meet their basic needs. Urban contexts of high unemployment, inequality, and poverty result in homeless youth, often with incomplete schooling, unable to secure a decent living through hustling in the informal economy, access safe spaces to sleep, nutritious food, and subject to vi…
Mapping multisystemic protective resources supporting resilience among street youth
Street youth face and overcome multiple challenges. While these challenges are well-documented, also in systematic reviews, the resources facilitating street youth resilience to these challenges have not been synthesized. To close this gap, we conducted a systematic scoping review of studies reporting street youth experiences of resources that enabled them to effectively cope with street-related challenges. Scoping the literature involved a syste…
Exploring a Scalar Nexus Approach to Understanding Environmental Change Around Refugee Settlements in Uganda
Drawing on interdisciplinary research employing social and natural sciences methods in two Ugandan refugee settlements, this article explores complex interactions between displacement and environmental change. Contributing to political ecological debates around scale, and employing a nexus thinking lens, this article conceptualizes a scalar nexus connecting a relational settlement communities nexus and a global or intraregional sustainability sca…
Power and its discontents
NGOs are taking incremental steps to reconfigure power dynamics and foster more equal relationships between Northern and Southern actors. • Most actions to address North-South power imbalances do not fundamentally change power dynamics or tackle the root causes of inequality. • Most actions are Northern-led, running the risk of reinforcing power relations in the aid system. • NGO are making slow progress in shifting power and individual actions c…
The politics of informal settlements in African cities
Many of the development challenges represented by informal settlements in global South cities – where most low-income urban residents live – are profoundly political in nature, involving entrenched interests, the interplay of competitive and patronage politics and the constrained political agency of low-income urban residents. However, and despite the growing literature on the politics of democratisation, clientelism and ethnicity in African citi…
Northern NGO-centrism in localisation processes
This paper examines the process of discussing and designing actions to tackle power inequities by Northern and Southern NGOs. Drawing on 53 interviews with Northern and Southern NGOs, and NNGO networks, we argue that current localisation processes produce a form of cultural capital leveraged by competing Northern NGOs rooted in signalling solidarity with SNGOs and/or communities to donors through rhetorical and symbolic practices, reinforcing the…
The politics of promoting social cash transfers in Uganda
Youth transitions in protracted crises
Youth displaced from home by war, civil conflict, and poverty face a difficult transition into adulthood. Their ability to access education, employment, and social adulthood is often disrupted, restricted, and delayed. Yet, despite youth making up a large percentage of refugees in Africa and the Middle East, their specific circumstances are rarely considered. While international humanitarian and development programming aims to respond to the disr…
The Effects of Limited Work Opportunities on Transitions to Adulthood among Young Refugees in Uganda and Jordan
Young people constitute more than half of global refugee populations, yet there is limited research into the impact of displacement on transitions into adult life. With the average period of protracted displacement extending beyond 20 years, insight is needed into how the experience of being a refugee shapes the expectations and lives of young people. This article examines the effects of weak and restricted labour markets on the transitions of yo…

From Social Accountability to a New Social Contract? The Role of NGOs in Protecting and Empowering PLHIV in Uganda
Social protection and social accountability initiatives are increasingly promoted as mechanisms for securing a new social contract between states and citizens in developing countries. Evidence from Uganda suggests that social protection programmes with built-in accountability arrangements led by non-governmental organisations (NGOs) can enable states and citizens, in this case people living with HIV and AIDS, to ‘see’ each other in different and …
New’ approaches confront ‘old’ challenges in African public sector reform
The disappointing performance of conventional public sector reforms in developing countries has led to the rise of ‘new’ approaches seeking to overcome traditional bureaucratic barriers to change: leadership-focused interventions like the Africa Governance Initiative (AGI); accountability-focused initiatives like the Open Government Partnership (OGP); and adaptation-focused models like those of Africa Power and Politics (APP). While these approac…
Exploring the Politics of Inclusive Development
This introduction brings together the main conceptual and empirical insights from this collection. Our findings suggest that new approaches to understanding the politics of development, including work on ‘limited access orders’ and ‘political settlements’, offer powerful insights into certain elements of this puzzle, particularly through a focus on the underlying forms of power relations that shape elite behaviour and institutional performance. H…
The Politics of Inclusive Development
It is now widely accepted that politics plays a significant role in shaping the possibilities for inclusive development. However, the specific ways in which this happens across different types and forms of development, and in different contexts, remains poorly understood. This collection provides the state of the art review regarding what is currently known about the politics of inclusive development. Leading academics offer systematic reviews of…
