The Cross-Border Conflict Evidence, Policy & Trends (XCEPT) research programme is funded by UK aid to generate actionable research on cross-border conflict dynamics, the drivers of violent and peaceful behaviour, and effective policy and programme responses.
The programme includes a Research Fund that is designed to support new research on borderlands and cross-border conflict dynamics. The XCEPT Research Fund is supporting UNU-CPR to conduct research on coalition, multilateral, and coordinated interventions in varied cross-border conflict contexts.
Through analysis of policy interventions, the research examines challenges to and opportunities for enhanced coordination among regional and international actors to support conflict stabilization and prevention across borders, and the effectiveness of multi-actor interventions to counter transnational threats.
