Research topic:
Democracy, governance, and peace in Zimbabwe: Development donors and their relationship with Zimbabawean civil society from 2008 to 2018
My thesis examines the relationship between development donors and NGOs in Zimbabwe, focusing on democracy and human rights, good governance, and peacebuilding. It seeks to understand the ways that development donors influence the place of NGOs in Zimbabwean politics, and the types of the practices and discourses that the donor-NGO relationship encourages. More broadly, the research contributes to the theoretical literature on international interventions, civil society, and global governance, seeking out critical avenues to address these concepts in African politics.
