Take context as the starting point: It is essential for international actors to understand the specific context in each country, and develop a shared view of the strategic response that is required. It is particularly important to recognise the different constraints of capacity, political will and legitimacy, and the differences between:
(i) post-conflict/crisis or political transition situations;
(ii) deteriorating governance environments,
(iii) gradual improvement, and;
(iv) prolonged crisis or impasse.
Sound political analysis is needed to adapt international responses to country and regional context, beyond quantitative indicators of conflict, governance or institutional strength. International actors should mix and sequence their aid instruments according to context, and avoid blue-print approaches.
