ICP PhD Scholarships 2011 for Developing Country Students in Belgium
As an ICP PhD student, you can institutionally strengthen your university or research institution in your home country by upgrading your academic capacities. Hence every year we provide 10 scholarships to people who wish to carry out research on a development topic, in a so-called sandwich programme.
The research and doctoral programme are geographically spread over two locations, namely the academic home institution and a Flemish university. In this way both local and Flemish expertise are combined to offer you and both research groups a win-win effect. The selection committee assesses and ranks all proposals according to quality and relevance for the South.
Target group
The call is open for people who graduated not earlier than 2006, or will graduate in 2011, from a Flemish, VLIR-UOS funded Master programme (ICP). As an applicant, you must meet other criteria, which we specify in the call.

VLIR-UOS Governance & Development Scholarships for Developing Countries
“Is better governance critical for the future of inclusive and sustainable development?”
“What do conflict, governance and development have in common?”
“Which potential solutions for good governance present themselves on the local and the global level?”
This programme explores insights, tools and best practices for good governance in order that graduates could apply them in their future professional contexts. Graduates shall understand and be able to analyse, from the local to the global level, the governance problems which confront developing countries today.
The governance programme offers two tracks with specific objectives and courses:
Track 1: Governance and Conflict.
Track 2: Local Governance and Poverty Reduction Contact: Greet Annaert Institute of Development Policy and Management
The future of sustainable development is critically related to the promotion of better governance at the local, national, regional and international level. At once a cause and a consequence of governance failures, violent conflict is incompatible with sustainable development. Central in this nexus between development, governance and conflict are processes of state formation, state failure and state reconstruction. Adopting a political economy perspective, the study programme analyses governance problems and possible responses with due account of specific historical pathways of countries and the interaction between the national state level, local society level dynamics and the impact of global developments.
Most of our students are engaged in development, professionally and/or as researchers. The objective of the Master’s programme is to provide them with multidisciplinary theoretical insights and practical tools that will improve their capacity to analyse governance challenges at different levels and how they relate to processes of violent conflict and development. Graduates will understand and be able to analyse, from the local to the global level, the governance problems confronting developing countries today. Theoretical insights, policy strategies and best practices as well as failures are explored in order that graduates could apply this knowledge in their future professional environments.
The Master’s programme in Governance and Development offers two tracks with specific objectives, courses and target audiences. The first track explores governance and development issues against the background of violent conflict and the challenge of post-conflict state reconstruction. The second addresses governance and development challenges from the particular perspective of local institutions and poverty reduction.
Track 1: Governance and Conflict
The Governance and Conflict track focuses on the actors and factors involved in the governance dimensions of development in the particular contexts of conflict-prone environments and states that face a multitude of reconstruction challenges after violent conflict. A theoretical but at the same time contextualised insight is offered in the political economy of governance and development, with focus on the state as a central actor in a nation’s development process. The track furthermore explores critical dimensions, drivers and dynamics of violent conflict, peace and conflict resolution processes and post-conflict state reconstruction. It adopts a thematic perspective, supplemented with in-depth case-studies drawn from Sub-Saharan Africa. Students receive analytical as well as policy-oriented tools that prepare them for knowledge-based interventions, in particular in conflict-affected environments.
This study track is intended for participants with a variety of disciplinary backgrounds who are professionally active in conflict-prone environments or post-conflict situations or who are interested in policy-oriented research on these topics. Participants should have work experience in the public action domain, either within government institutions (including public research institutions), donor agencies (including international non-governmental organisations, bilateral and multilateral donors) or civil society (including advocacy groups, research institutes and universities).
Module I (12 weeks – 18 credits)
Theories of Development: provides an overview of recent evolutions in the literature on the politics and economics of development, and on poverty and inequality.
Research Methods I and II: update of contemporary quantitative and qualitative research methods; possibilities for combining these methods and applying them within ongoing development processes.
Module II: Governance for Development (9 weeks – 12 credits)
This module deals with the particular nature of the state in developing countries and how it impacts on (under)development and conflict. Further, it analyses how the division of wealth and power among (ethnic and other) identity groups and their elites affect poverty, inequality and growth. It also considers the role, the potential and the constraints of global and decentralised governance structures as well as civil society within the context of the development process. The module is organised by the Thematic Group ‘The Political Economy of the Great Lakes’.
Module III: From violent conflict to state reconstruction (9 weeks – 12 credits)
This module first defines basic concepts and, adopting a political economy perspective, highlights contemporary trends and addresses root causes and explanatory factors of conflict. It subsequently focuses on conflict resolution policies and practices and the constraints and challenges faced by a range of actors (mediators, peacekeepers, donors, etc). Finally, it addresses key political, socioeconomic and governance dimensions of state reconstruction and development after violent conflict. The module is organised by the Thematic Group ‘The Political Economy of the Great Lakes’.
Module IV: Dissertation (15 weeks – 18 credits)
To be developed on the basis of one of the assignments written at the end of either module II or III.
Track 2: Local governance and poverty reduction
The ‘Local Governance and Poverty Reduction’ track focuses on the interaction between (trans)national and local actors in governance processes. Decentralisation has become an important part of the agenda for governance reform and democratisation in many countries. Likewise, public service provision and property rights issues can hardly be discussed without taking due account of local-level institutions and political dynamics. The partial autonomy of local levels of decision-making is part and parcel of countries characterised by weak or fragile national-level state structures and it requires careful scrutiny in the conceptualisation and assessment of development initiatives. Special attention is also paid to the dynamics of poverty and the politics of poverty reduction.
The track is intended for participants who are professionally active or interested in research on the interface between the (trans)national and the local level and/or between state and non-state development actors. Students should have work experience in the public action domain, either within government institutions (including public research institutions), donor agencies (including international NGOs, bilateral and multilateral donors) or civil society (including research institutes, universities).
Module I (12 weeks – 18 credits)
Theories of Development: provides an overview of recent evolutions in the literature on the politics and economics of development, and on poverty and inequality.
Research Methods I and II: update of contemporary quantitative and qualitative research methods; possibilities for combining these methods and applying them within ongoing development processes.
Module II: Governance for Development (9 weeks – 12 credits)
This module deals with the particular nature of the state in developing countries and how it impacts on (under)development and conflict. Further, it analyses how the division of wealth and power among (ethnic and other) identity groups and their elites affect poverty, inequality and growth. It also considers the role, the potential and the constraints of global and decentralised governance structures as well as civil society within the context of the development process. The module is organised by the Thematic Group ‘The Political Economy of the Great Lakes’.
Module III: Local Institutions and Poverty Reduction (9 weeks – 12 credits)
This module is organised by the Thematic Group ‘Poverty and Well-being as a Local Institutional Process’. The module explores how the interactions of actor strategies and institutional structures generate inequality and poverty as well as well-being. It applies this analysis to specific policy domains: value chain development, microfinance, land policies, gender, public services, role of local government, management of natural resources, migration and the impact of trade.
Module IV: Dissertation (15 weeks – 18 credits)
To be developed on the basis of one of the assignments written at the end of either module II or III.
