Call for concept notes - Future horn, future Sudans: Multiple and competing centres

This XRF call for proposals will support the development of three to five research projects that explore the rise of multiple and competing centres in the Horn of Africa and beyond, and the implications for the future of the states in the region, and the nature of the state itself. Research under this call is expected to deepen the body of XCEPT-supported work on contested borderlands in Sudan, South Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia and the wider Horn, including Horn-Red Sea dynamics. Comparative case examples from the conflict-affected areas of the Middle East and Asia, which help deepen insight on broader dynamics outlined here also are welcome. Applicants are invited to propose research that explores the following primary question and related sub-questions: How does the emergence of multiple centres in the Horn of Africa and Red Sea region reshape conflict dynamics? Sub-themes and questions include: 1. Emergence and evolution: What drives the emergence of these centres? What dynamics drive their growth and under what conditions do they decline or disappear? 2. Economic drivers: How do shifting commodity chains, digital finance systems, diaspora revenue flows and other economic forces contribute to the rise or fall of these centres? 3. Maritime and security dimensions: What roles do maritime trade, port-centric investment, and regional security deployments (especially in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden) play in shaping these dynamics? 4. Political and social implications: How do these centres affect political settlements, centre-periphery relations, and incentives for violence? What are the implications for state formation and governance? Proposals need not address all the above sub-questions. Applicants are encouraged to focus on aspects most relevant to their expertise or interest. However, all submissions should engage with the core theme related to the emergence of hubs / centres and their implications for conflict dynamics in the region. Additionally, all submissions also should indicate how research will surface actionable considerations for policy and programme responses. The latter may include how an understanding of multiple and competing centres might support more inclusive future political settlements and more sustainable conflict mitigation efforts. Funding support up to £120,000 is available per award, depending on the scope of the research and methods employed. Applications are welcome from both individuals and organisations. Interested applicants can read more about this opportunity here: https://www.xcept-research.org/grants_post/call-for-concept-notes-future-horn-future-sudans-multiple-and-competing-centres/ The deadline for submission is Thursday 25 September 2025, 10:00 BST

Call for abstracts: feminist frontiers: Rethinking power, agency and responses in conflict-affected borderlands

The XCEPT Research Fund (XRF) invites abstracts that will support the development of a series of high-quality papers that apply a feminist lens to the study of conflict-affected borderlands, with a particular focus on power structures linked to masculinities and femininities, the gendered dynamics of agency within conflict ecosystems, and the potential for feminist approaches to inform more just and transformative peacebuilding in borderlands. Grounded in questions of power, resistance, and structural inequality, this research will contribute to advancing feminist knowledge and practice in borderland contexts and to generating more contextually grounded, equity-focused policy responses to conflict and governance challenges in fragile and contested spaces. XCEPT will provide up to £15,000 of funding for a 6-9 month project that explores one of the below questions and themes. 1. In what ways do ideas and practices of masculinity and femininity shape power structures and conflict in borderlands? 2. How does gender shape agency within conflict-affected borderlands and how is this reflected in the ways communities or actors navigate, resist or transform structural conditions? 3. In what ways do gender-mainstreaming peacebuilding frameworks engage with the structural and intersectional dimensions of conflict-affected borderlands? What epistemic and practical limitations do these frameworks expose, and how might feminist approaches inform more transformative, contextually grounded interventions? Papers may be authored individually or co-authored. Interested applicants can read more about this opportunity here: https://www.xcept-research.org/grants_post/call-for-abstracts-feminist-frontiers-rethinking-power-agency-and-responses-in-conflict-affected-borderlands/ The deadline for submission is Monday 15 September 2025 at 10:00 BST.

Call for concept notes: Policy responses to address conflict economies in borderlands

This XCEPT Research Fund (XRF) call for proposals will support the development of 4-8 research projects that examine policy and programme interventions in conflict-affected borderlands, with a particular focus on surfacing actionable insights to address challenges related to conflict economies and how licit/illicit economic activity intersects with conflict and governance in borderlands. This Call for Concept Notes is designed to respond to and build on past borderland and cross-border conflict dynamics highlighted in XCEPT-supported research to date, generating more focused analysis on policy responses or approaches that address the linkages between borderland conflict economies and the local, national and transnational drivers of conflict, as well as actionable recommendations for their improvement. Proposals should make clear how the research will assess concrete policy tools, mechanisms, or strategies (whether past, existing or proposed) in response to borderland and cross-border conflict dynamics, and bring forward key considerations for more effective policy and programme design. This might include: 1. Policies, tools, or initiatives designed to address the ways that licit/illicit economic activity intersects with conflict and governance in borderlands, including local, national, or inter-/transnational regulatory and oversight mechanisms; cross-border trade initiatives and regulation, including domestic or international taxation, financial, and trade policies or interventions; etc. 2. Aspects of stabilisation and security policies and interventions that address conflict economies in borderlands, including cross-border security cooperation, border management, maritime interdiction, and/or peace operations and interventions led by regional organisations or other ad hoc coalitions, etc. 3. Aspects of governance or livelihood policies and interventions that address conflict economies in borderlands, including anti-corruption and transparency initiatives, alternative livelihoods programming, or cross-border or regional coordination - as well as national or local initiatives. Funding support up to £120,000 is available per award, depending on the scope of the research and methods employed. Applications are welcome from both individuals and organisations. Interested applicants can read more about this opportunity here: https://www.xcept-research.org/grants_post/call-for-concept-notes-policy-responses-to-address-conflict-economies-in-borderlands/ The deadline for submission is Wednesday 17 September 2025 at 10:00 BST.
