      Voices from the ground – protracted displacement economies
      Sunit Bagree - UNU-WIDER , 2023 - Helsinki, Finland
      Many displaced people around the world are in limbo—unable to return home or go anywhere else.

      – The case of Afghanistan
      Nematullah Bizhan - UNU-WIDER , 2023 - Helsinki, Finland
      The aid effectiveness principles have limits if the recipient is fragile. The problem of relevance exists if the recipient has an authoritarian or totalitarian regime.

      Lant Pritchett - Lant Pritchett , 2021
      The tragedy for the Afghan people of the Taliban re-taking control of the country in August 2021 is the denouement of a process 20 years in the making.
