The purpose of the second phase of the UNICEF Education and Peace-building in Post- Conflict Contexts Research Project is to build upon the current evidence base on the role and potential of education in peacebuilding processes using theoretically informed, empirically driven, multi-country case studies to better inform programming and policy. [...] This paper begins with a guide to the insights that steer the methodological approach. This is followed by a research framework, the detailed research questions and sub-questions and the methods of data collection and analysis. The concluding part of the paper summarizes the core activities and outputs and presents the project timeline.
