Fafos forskning på Midtøsten og Nord-Afrika ser på dynamikken bak konflikter og fredsbygging. Vi er spesielt opptatt av hvordan sivilbefolkningen håndterer og påvirkes av konfliktene, og hvordan disse bidrar til samfunnsutvikling og politiske forhold.
Fafo conducts large scale living condition surveys, coping studies and research on the role and influence of youth and religious ideology in political dynamics. Our ambition is to identify and study emerging social and political trends on the grassroots level irrespective of their orientation.
Recent examples include the growth of the Salafi movement and the political potential of comics and youth magazines in Egypt.
Fafo has also been involved in the design and evaluation of international assistance to the region, including in Iraq, Sudan, Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine. Our evaluations focus on assistance given for humanitarian purpose, and post-conflict recovery and transformation.
