Stabilisation programs are usually delivered in fragile and conflict-affected areas where the state’s authority is weak or contested, and where instability threatens to escalate or prolong conflict. Effective stabilisation programs focus on addressing the root causes of instability, strengthening governance and improving the lives of affected populations to prevent a relapse into violence.

The Humanitarian Impact Institute provides rapid research, monitoring and evaluation of Stabilisation Programs designed to support efforts towards long-term stability in post conflict contexts.
