OPEN CALL FOR PAPERS AND CONTRIBUTIONS

Journal of Development and Policy Research, Volume I / XXII(Sept.)

Under the project, CSO Watchdog: strengthening transparency, accountability and resilience in The Gambia (STAR), funded by the European Commission, TANGO, as a co-implementer, will publish a peer-reviewed journal. The goal of this publication is to address policies by analyzing current development interventions and making recommendations. The objectives of this peer-reviewed journal are:

  1. To enhance the capacity of CSOs/NGOs on research and evidence-based reporting to promote transparency and accountability. 
  2. To establish a functionally effective CSO/NGO platform centered on evidence-based advocacy.
  3. To establish a baseline on the progress of the NDP with reference to education, climate change, gender and youth empowerment, and peace-building.

Therefore, development practitioners, scholars, experts, writers, and analysts are all invited to submit an Abstract of not more than 500 words. The Abstract should include a title, problem statement, purpose of the article and the method to be used in the production of the article.  

Accepted authors will first be invited to a conference where they will present their first draft in front of a team of peer-reviewed experts. After they have successfully presented their work and followed through the subsequent steps recommended by the peer-review experts, they will be remunerated and their work will be published in the journal. For this first Edition, we wish to explore four thematic areas: Education, Climate change, Women and youth empowerment, and Peacebuilding. Examples of areas to explore include:

  • The impacts of Covid19 on the education system
  • The problem of school dropout and retention
  • Climate change adaptation and resilience
  • Climate change and vulnerability of rural communities
  • Environment and natural resources management 
  • Transitional justice and peace
  • Crime and the security sector reform 
  • Unemployment and urban vulnerabilities 
  • Gender mainstreaming

We welcome Abstracts in these areas and other related areas on or before the 20th of October, 4 pm GMT. All Abstracts should be sent tondey.bakurin@tango.gm and copied to sarrjainaba@fiohtg.org and amietouray7@gmail.com  with the subject title Journal on Development and Policy. For any inquiries, kindly send an email to amatjeng@icloud.com or call +220 2837641 or +220 3994430.
