Director’s note Present situation 2015 was again an action packed year with both positive and unprecedented negative developments at the Nordic Africa Institute. After the period of uncertainty as regards to the Institute’s future, the Government of Sweden made a decision to maintain the Institute in its current organization form, and the current Director was asked to continue on her post. This gave impetus for the Institute to continue the process of drafting its new Research Strategy that would better reflect its mandate in the rapidly changing Nordic and African socio-political landscape. There was also a big turnover of researchers as many contracts ended in 2015 and lengthy processes of recruitment were finally completed. Eight competent researchers with relevant research projects were attracted from the Nordic countries, Europe and Africa and their working periods started during the latter part of 2015.

At the same time, the drastic cuts in Nordic ODA level due to political priorities or its re-allocation to respond to the global migrant crisis had a dramatic effect on the Institute’s budget. This forced the Institute to reduce its activity budget, make strategic choices as well as invest more time in external resource mobilization. One possibility is to seek ways of servicing Sida and its research and knowledge development needs. Meanwhile all efforts are made in order to continue the high level of quality activities in all three mandated functions - research, communication and library benefitting the financially contributing Nordic countries. Reorganizing management and administration to better serve the implementation of the new Research Strategy is still on-going with an objective to ensure better academic guidance and more efficiency in the Institute’s resource management as a whole. Summary of the main outcomes 2015 In 2015 the Nordic Africa Institute carried out a high number of activities and wide cooperation with stakeholders both in the Nordic countries and the African continent. Joint activities were organised among others with the Nordic Ministries of Foreign Affairs (e.g. an event to feed into the Swedish government’s process to draft a new development policy); African embassies in the Nordic countries (Namibia 25 years events in both Helsinki and Stockholm); as well as with parliaments and non-governmental organizations (seminar in Riksdagen on DRC together with Life and Peace Institute). These all served as opportunities to spread information on the Institute’s relevant research as well as to conduct policy dialogue on African development.

The research team have executed all major plans despite minor deviations in 2015. The Institute has had a very active publication profile. Researchers have actively participated and presented at many international workshops and conferences, for instance by the involvement in ECAS 6 in Paris in July. Furthermore, as regards to research and policy-dialogue, all clusters have consolidated their size and activities during 2015. Policy-related events have been organized with both the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Nordic embassies as well as with aid agencies, e.g. in Maputo concerning the academic mobility with the Eduardo Mondlane University as well as in contributing to the Nordic-Mozambican conference on Inclusive Growth which attracted an audience of 300 participants. Diverse workshops catering to a mix of researchers, policy makers and practitioners from Nordic and African countries have been implemented according to plan both in the Nordic region and in African countries. For instance, the Institute’s rural cluster together with Bahir Dar University organized a successful workshop on ‘Transition and Transformation in Smallholder Agriculture in and around the Lake Tana Basin’ in Bahir Dar, 3

Ethiopia, which was also part of the project ‘Water politics in the Nile basin – emerging land acquisitions and the hydro political landscape’. Furthermore, a planned number of articles in highimpact journals and books have been published. For example, the urban cluster edited a journal issue on “moral communities” in Anthropology Southern Africa and a journal issue on mediation in African cities for Nordic Journal of African cities. Researchers have also been very visible in media and active in policy discussions, for example the conflict cluster around the elections in Nigeria and the crisis in Burundi. Similarly, the migration cluster has had a high media profile on the refugee crisis. Researchers from both urban and rural clusters have taken part in preparing bids for the European Union’s research funding as part of international research consortiums.

The Institute’s special library and documentation services have during 2015 continued to target its distance users. The remote access service to four of the licensed electronic resources was marketed. A new webpage for remote access was set up with registration and information. Libraries were contacted through visits and correspondence. The NAI library collection grew with adequate number of titles. The institute and the library collection of modern African fiction was marketed through the seminar African crime: Fiction and Facts with about 50 participants. The long awaited integration of NAI library resources in Norwegian Bibliotekssök was finally realized. Responsibility for the handling of NAI’s publications in DiVa was transferred to the library and the librarians participated in meetings/conferences. The library offered training sessions to the researchers on how to register their external publications in the system.

During the year the communications unit has undergone a staff change. The competencies within the team have become more homogenous which leads to more efficient and qualified research communication from NAI. The focus on conducting more visual research communication via film and video has continued and the team members have been able to document research in the field together with NAI researchers. The unit also focused even more on proactive work towards the press by contacting journalists prior to an important event taking place or issue being addressed, thus ensuring their interest in reporting about it. Media visibility of NAI in all Nordic countries remains high, and higher goals are constantly set. In 2015, there has been a particular focus within the area of administration and research support on activities of the NAI archive and official registry. Material in the archive has thereby been reviewed and organized in a more secure manner, to cater for a good conservation for the future of all objects in the archive. Tasks linked to the official registry have been redistributed for more efficient and up to date work processes. A project of creating a comprehensive NAI inventory has been initiated and work on this will be continued in 2016. An agreement with the neighbouring Institute for Language and Folklore was established regarding outsourcing of services by NAI’s office caretaker twice a week. Additionally, the unit in early 2015 set up and launched the NAI Alumni programme, which is now in operation with approximately 110 members. The institute increased the number of scholarships for African guest researchers from six to eight, and some unexpected challenges regarding housing for NAI scholarship holders in Uppsala were resolved in a satisfactory way.

As regards to the area of human resources, eight new researchers were employed on short or long term to ensure the production of quality research, and for an optimal use of resources. An employee survey was carried out, and efforts to act upon findings and recommendations are underway. The purpose of this survey is to gain a picture on employees’ experiences of the 4

organisation, his/her superior, colleagues and working teams. Training on Swedish state values and the role of being a civil servant has been implemented.

Regarding finances the core budget of NAI in 2015 was supplemented by 19% external funding for research projects funded by the Swedish Research Council. There was a major decrease in external funding for the Institute in 2015 compared to 2014 (see appendix 1). The main reason is the completion of two large Sida financed programmes at the end of 2014 and mid-2015. The Institute is however continuing efforts to secure external funding, and during the year eight new research applications were submitted to various Swedish research funding agencies. In addition, an application for a proposed 5 year research programme on Institutional Development in Africa was submitted to Sida. Researchers at the Institute have also started to more actively engage in applications for EU funding together with external partners. Given the unexpected news during the autumn of 2015 on significantly reduced core funding for the Institute from Norway and Finland strengthened activities of resource mobilisation will become even more significant for the future. The structure of the Action Plan 2016-17

This Action Plan and Budget reflects the feedback received from the Institute’s Program and Research Council, its main stakeholders as well as auditors who encouraged a continued presentation of the Institute outcomes and outputs in results-based format but in a more condensed form. The research is presented in one RBM logical framework matrix, followed by separate RBM-matrices for Communication, Library, Administration and Research Support and Human Resources.

Reflecting feedback from the autumn meeting of the Programme and Research Council on the draft Action Plan as well as the 2016 Appropriation Letter of the Swedish Government, the main aim during 2016-17 is to ensure both continuity and change to the Institute’s overall operation. The Research Strategy process will continue, and the thematic focus areas and resource allocation will better reflect priority areas of interest of the financing Nordic governments. The Nordic Africa Days 2016 will provide a venue to bring together researchers, policy-makers and practitioners to discuss one of the Swedish and Finnish Governments’ priority areas - gender equality - under the overall theme ‘Gender and Change in Africa: new aspirations or lost opportunities for women?’.

The research organisation will be renewed to ensure better academic guidance as well as more collaboration and flexibility between research themes and projects. This will guarantee maximum policy relevance and impact for Nordic governments in advancing the SDGs and Agenda 2030. The communication unit will work together with researchers to improve NAI’s approach and ability to policy advice. Efforts will be intensified to ensure collaboration with SIDA to provide research and advice on development practice within the framework of a new project. Follow-up and monitoring of activities have been reorganised by introducing a new semi-annual reporting format as well as by a new process and outline for annual reporting.

3. Research The Institute´s new Research Strategy outlines the overall guiding principles, the research themes as well as the operational approach. The vision is stated as follows: Guided by the institute’s mandate, the Nordic Africa Institute strives to be an internationally leading research centre on contemporary Africa that produces innovative, multidisciplinary, rigorous and relevant research of use for scholarly debate as well as for policy advice and applied purposes. Specifically this implies that the Nordic Africa Institute shall be:

- a focal point and catalyst for Nordic-African collaboration in producing academically highquality and policy relevant research on current social, political, economic, and environmental developments in Africa.

- a unique hub that gives Nordic and African scholars a chance to jointly do important and timely research that promotes a better understanding of development challenges and in the long run supports people in Africa in their efforts for sustainable and democratic development, human right promotion, and poverty reduction. This is achieved by a) by anchoring the research in wide Nordic expertise in African studies

b) wide cooperation with African research institutions and individual researchers, as well as by creating other international academic partnerships, c) producing high-quality publications in international journals and books, and disseminating research results via other academic channels

d) securing and extending academic collaborating networks in Nordic and African countries and beyond; e) by providing policy advice to the relevant institutions

The research at the Nordic Africa Institute is/shall be:

- in the forefront of identifying emerging and new developments and challenges shaping the future of Africa by conducting independent research on these trends and processes in rapidly changing Africa;

- relevant and useful for policy-making in the Nordic region and beyond as it creates better understanding African challenges and in finding better solutions to solve them in development cooperation;

- timely and applicable also for the African communities in helping them to shape African future

3 a. Overview Research Themes Migration, Mobility and Transnational Changes

Given the predicted changes in the fields of rural and urban areas and massive population growth in Africa, more migration and possibly more conflicts are foreseen. This theme seeks to explore local, regional and global economic, social and political processes that link Africa with other parts of the world. The theme will especially focus on 1) the relationship between migration and development and 2) the relationship between urban-rural migration, migration within Africa and migration out of Africa, including the social and economic consequences of forced migration.

Rural and Agrarian Change, Property and Resources

The role of water and food security will continue to increase in importance. The Institute tries to enhance the understanding of the complexity of interconnections between African rural livelihoods, production and resource governance, and environmental sustainability in an historical, economic and cultural context. The main areas of the theme are 1) Water, land and energy, 2) Mining and extractive industries, 3) Environmental degradation, deforestation and soil erosion leading to increased poverty and unsustainable development.

Urban Dynamics

Africa has the fastest rate of urbanization and Africa´s future population growth will mainly take place in urban areas. The population of urban areas will exceed that of rural areas. Changes take place at all levels of the societies and in all spheres, cultural, social, political and economic. The research will focus on the following areas: 1) Struggles, inequalities and conflicts of African urbanism, 2) Urban landscapes and social boundaries, 3) Lived everyday realities of African citydwellers.

Conflict, Security and Democratic Transformation

Armed conflicts, civil wars and terrorism are major challenges in many African regions. Understanding the mechanisms of conflict and broader issues of security are fundamental for peaceful development and democratic transformation on the African continent. The driving forces behind conflicts need to be analysed in order to understand how post-conflict societies can be successfully rebuilt or reconstituted in the aftermath of civil war. The Institute particularly puts emphasis on the following themes:1) Violent and ongoing conflicts, 2) Security, post conflict and state building, 3) The role of African regional organisations in conflict resolution, mediation and peace building, and new global partnerships.

RBM Research Results Based Management Logical Framework

Summary Present Situation: The Institute is producing high-quality innovative research and is publishing in internationally acclaimed journals and books. A lot of emphasis is given to multiple international co-operations and new ways to remain visible and active in the policy-making arenas. Some excellent academic and policy networks have been established during 2015. The research at the Institute has been strengthened with eight new researchers during 2015. Several applications for external research projects and workshops were submitted in 2015 and if granted, they will further strengthen the research at the Institute. NAI research is on the international research agenda. Despite this, the research has still the potential to be used even more in practical and policy work by Nordic actors on the African arena. The baseline is the Institute´s researchers and knowledge. The Institute strives to maintain a high scholarly productivity and to improve by communicating in broader and more diverse ways the policy related work without losing the quality of research. Overall Objective: The Nordic Africa Institute strives to be an internationally leading research centre on contemporary Africa that produces innovative, multidisciplinary, rigorous and relevant research of use for scholarly debate as well as for policy advice and applied purposes. Specific Objective I: to carry out high quality research Specific Objective II: to communicate high quality research to three audiences: 1) international researchers: 2) a Nordic public audience; 3) policy makers and practitioners. Specific Objective III: to stimulate further research by strengthening existing and initiating new collaboration and networks.

Risks

Mitigation of risks

Risk 1: There is always a risk that manuscripts will not be accepted by publishers.

Mitigation 1: There will be delays but most often the manuscripts are published in a modified form.

Risk 2: Delayed publication process, due to language proof, publication queue, needs to apply for external funding for publication.

Mitigation 2: Cooperate with external researchers (joint publications), invite external researchers to publish in the NAI series.

Risk 3: As researchers are working on sensitive issues, it may at times not be possible to gain adequately data in the field.

Mitigation 3: Re-address the topics of investigation, which still will have political relevance since it is sensitive.

Risk: The competition for research funding is high and very few get funding.

Mitigation: Risk diversifying by applying to Nordic and non-Nordic funds.

Programs; conference /workshop reports; Letters of invitations and programs; Publications.

Risk 1: If the number of researchers decreases in 2016 the result will be less.

RBM Library

Results Based Management Logical Framework Summary Present Situation: The NAI library is the only specialized library on modern Africa in the Nordic countries. The user groups, - students, scholars, policy makers and others are scattered among the Nordic countries and among academic institutions. The collection fills a widening gap since other research and university libraries are shifting budgetary resources towards electronic material before printed material. The African studies literature and Africa published research are still produced mainly in print. The library provides access to specialized electronic licensed resources both locally and for distance users. Strategically the library works with increasing the visibility of resources in Finland, Sweden and Iceland to enhance the accessibility. Overall Objective: To further facilitate for targeted user groups to find and access relevant material for their research and studies in order to promote research on modern Africa in Finland, Sweden and Iceland. The Library also wants to keep an adequate level of acquisitions of information carriers from North and South on modern Africa in order to safeguard future research and studies. Specific Objective I: Provide an adequate collection Specific Objective II: Increase visibility and accessibility of library resources

22

Outcome (short-term and long-term goals) Maintain adequate level of acquisitions

Increase visibility of library resources

Output (deliverables) Acquisitions and cataloguing of information carriers according to acquisitions policy.
