The quality and level of job placements among our Rotary Center’s alumni has been increasing steadily. This obviously has many positive impacts, including a constantly widening network of excellent contacts for graduating Rotary Fellows as well as Fellows looking for their AFEs. Out of 111 Fellows who have graduated from the Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center, 42 work for NGOs or other peace-related organizations, 13 work for a government or military agency, 10 work for United Nations agencies, 5 work for the World Bank, 9 are pursuing additional advanced degrees in peace-related fields, and 7 are working in research, academia or related fields. At least 3 alumni are actively looking for a job. Class XIV includes eleven fellows from ten different countries with a broad range of backgrounds, experience and academic interests. These interests are reflected in the Applied Field Experiences that they completed during the summer of 2016. Several Fellows plan to write their master’s thesis on topics related directly to their Applied Field Experiences. In addition, the Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center continued a blog on our website, where all Class XIV Fellows contributed an entry each week throughout the summer about their work and impressions. All blog entries can be viewed at http://rotarypeacecenternc.org/resources/rotary-center-blog/.

The Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center staff contributes significantly to the organization of the Sanford School of Public Policy’s annual professional development trip to Washington DC, which took place from January 10-12, 2016. Ten Fellows from Class XIV participated along with about 40 students from Duke’s Master’s Program in International Development Policy (MIDP). Our Fellows were also invited to join a reception hosted by Duke’s Sanford School of Public Policy on the evening of January 11th. The detailed itinerary for the Washington DC trip can be found in Annex 1.

In August 2016, the Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center welcomed its fifteenth class of Rotary Peace Fellows, with 11 new students. Of these, six are studying international development policy at Duke, and five are at UNC, one in the Anthropology department, one in the Global Studies Department and three in the School of Public Health. We have added one new country (Zimbabwe) to our world map of Rotary Peace Fellows at the Center for a total of 57 different countries.

Internal Evaluation of the Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center Program The Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center continued its practice of regular comprehensive evaluations of its program, by surveying all Fellows in June 2016. These evaluations provide valuable feedback on many facets of the program and guide the Rotary Center Board in its planning for the coming year. The complete evaluation results are available upon request from the Center.

Class XIII Peace Fellow Takes Leave of Absence During the middle of the Fall 2015 semester, a Class XIII Fellow requested to take a medical leave of absence. This leave of absence was granted by both UNC and Rotary International. The Fellow has returned from the leave of absence, commenced studies in the Fall 2016 semester, and is now associated with the Class XIV cohort.

Additional Peace Fellow Selected for Class XV During the annual selection of candidates for the Rotary Peace Fellowship, Rotary International asked our center to consider including an additional fellow into the Class XV cohort. Due to an unforeseen medical condition, resulting from an accident which occurred during this Fellow’s first-year in the program at Uppsala University, his physicians advised him to remain in the United States for medical care. Under the condition of Duke University offering him admission into the MIDP program, our center agreed to make the accommodation and include him into the Class XV cohort.

Duke-UNC Rotary Center Board and Staff The Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center Board is the primary administrative and academic body that oversees the Center. The Board meets quarterly and includes the Center Co-Directors, Center Faculty-Directors, the Executive Directors of Duke’s Center for International Development and UNC’s Center for Global Initiatives, the Center Managing Director, the Rotary Host Area Coordinator (Bart Cleary) and former Rotary Host Area Coordinator (Carol Allen).

The Board would like to express its gratitude to PDG Serge Dihoff for his service to our Center as Host Area Coordinator and member of the Board. Twice a year, the Board meetings include an elected representative from each class of Rotary Fellows. Rotary Fellows take the opportunity to express their views, requests and suggestions to the Board during these meetings. Adjustments in Center policies and procedures, as well as to the curriculum are regularly made as a result of the feedback from Fellows, both through the inclusion of two Fellows on the Board as well through the internal evaluations. As a result, the Center is introducing this year a special intensive course on “Impact evaluation of peace programs”

Marketing and Recruitment trip to Europe Susan Carroll attended the International Career Development Roundtable, held in Madrid on 18-19 November. This was an opportunity to network with human resource representatives of about 50 international organizations, leading to a better understanding of new policies for hiring practices and current needs for new staff positions.

Presentation of Rotary Peace Fellowship Program to World Bank Staff: Susan Carroll gave a presentation detailing the Rotary Peace Fellowship Program to

about 25 members of the World Bank Eurasia Staff Association on March 10, 2016. Class II alumna Diana Manevskaya assisted. She also met with staff at the Open Society Foundation as well as the head of the Fragility, Conflict and Violence Group of the World Bank.

DC Conference Susan Carroll attended the Alliance for Peacebuilding conference with Sarah Cunningham, Rotary Peace Centers Marketing and Recruitment Specialist, which was held 24-26 May. The conference was relevant and brought up good ideas related to the curriculum at our center. Susan will consider attending the 2017 conference.

Center Curriculum The Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center curriculum consists of three parts: five courses, monthly seminars and the annual conference. Core Courses: Continuing the process of balancing our curriculum to meet the interests of Fellows while also adhering to the curriculum guidelines agreed upon by the Rotary Centers Committee, and staying true to our Center’s mission statement, some adjustments

4

were made to the 2015-2016 curriculum. The year’s detailed curriculum is included in Annex 2. Due to the departure of Jason Cross, from Duke, the Center has hired Dr. Rosemary Fernholz as the instructor for the Introduction to Peace and Conflict Studies course for the Fall of 2016. Additionally, Dr. Peter Redfield, who has taught our course in “Humanitarianism in War and in Peace” in Spring of both 2015 and 2016 to the secondyear fellows, will be on sabbatical in 2016-17. As a result, our center is working on developing a 2 credit course on “Monitoring & Evaluation for Peacebuilding Interventions”, to be taught by Isabella Jean, Director of Evaluation and Learning at the CDA. Following the Center Board’s review as well as the results of the June 2016 evaluation by Fellows, it has been determined that the 2016-2018 curriculum will be as follows: FALL 2016-2017 1st year fellows Cornerstone (1 credit) & Intro to P&CR (Fernholz, 2 credits)

2017-2018 Cornerstone (1 credit) & Intro to P&CR (Fernholz, 2 credits)

2nd year fellows

OPTION (all 3 credits): Human Rights & Conflict (Admay) OR Capacity Development (Webb)

OPTION (all 3 credits): Human Rights & Conflict (Admay) OR Capacity Development (Webb)

SPRING 1st year fellows Conflict Management (Tamari) 2nd year Capstone (1 credit) fellows Monitoring & Evaluation for Peacebuilding Interventions (2 credits)

Conflict Management (Tamari) Capstone (1 credit) Humanitarianism in War and in Peace (Redfield, 2 credits)

It is important to note that Rotary core seminars continue to be sought-after by nonRotary Fellows. The Cornerstone and Capstone seminars are the only courses exclusively for Rotary Fellows while other seminars are able to accommodate a few additional students. Faculty bios for the courses taught during 2015-2016 academic year are found in Annex 3.

Monthly Seminars The Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center complements seminars and courses on substantive issues with periodic practical, skills-based workshops. In 2015-2016, we provided:  Workshop on communications skills and public speaking: A half-day workshop was held on February 20 specifically for second-year Rotary Fellows to help prepare them for public speaking events including the annual spring conference. This workshop was led by Dean Storelli, Writing and Communications Coordinator with the Duke Center for International Development  Negotiation Workshop: Sam Jackson, Adjunct Professor of Law at Georgetown and UNC, held a negotiation workshop for all second-year Peace Fellows. He addressed negotiation concepts as well as practical topics, such as power dynamics in bargaining, difficult tactics and people, causes of impasse, mediation, cultural dynamics and negotiation with governments. Fellows also participated in a series of exercises to develop their conflict resolution skills.  Grant Proposal Workshop: This workshop was led by Medina Korda Poole from the Research Triangle Institute (RTI) in North Carolina. This was a 3-part workshop which focused specifically on USAID proposals.  Rotary Peace Fellow Brown Bag Series – Rebeccah Bartlett, Elohim Monard, Osborn Kwena, Ignacio Asis and Divina Sabino gave presentations related to their personal and professional experiences before becoming peace fellows. Rebeccah spoke about her experience working on issues of maternal health and gender based violence in Papua New Guinea. Osborn spoke about his thoughts on the political climate in Kenya. Elohim discussed his political campaign as a candidate for Congress in Peru. Divina discussed her previous experiences working in Disaster Risk Management and how this field sparked a passion and compelled her to apply for a fellowship. Gonzalo discussed his experience at The Mayan Store as a social entrepreneur and the challenges and opportunities of working in a social venture that promotes sustainable workforce development and job creation while maintaining traditional culture and artisanal techniques of Guatemala. This series has been well received by Fellows and will continue through the 2016-2017 term.

Spring Conference The thirteenth annual Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center Conference took place on April 9, 2016, in the Nelson Mandela Auditorium at the FedEx Global Education Center at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. The theme of the conference was “Peace & Development – Multidisciplinary Approaches to Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals”. We were honored to have three distinguished guests from the Rotary Foundation, Wilfrid Wilkinson, Trustee Chairman (2012-13), Peter Kyle, Rotary Peace Centers Committee Chair and Gerald A. Meigs, Major Gifts Initiative Committee Chair, join us for the event along with several other VIPs. The weekend began with a reception at the UNC Botanical Gardens on Friday evening, hosted by The Rotary Foundation.

All nine graduating Rotary Fellows from Class XIII presented their master’s research to approximately 250 people who attended the conference. The conference was organized by Rebeccah Bartlett (Class XIII), Romi Brammer (Class XIII), Gabriel Maisonnave (Class XIV), and Barbara Santibanez (Class XIV) with assistance from the Rotary Center Board. As we did last year, all of the conference proceedings were both video-recorded as well as streamed live over the Internet. Fellows’ friends and family were able to watch the presentations from their home countries. Fellows continue to use the recorded versions of

7

their presentations as marketing tools as they search for jobs. These presentations can be accessed through our Center’s website. We were pleased to see eleven alumni from Duke-UNC as well as two from other Rotary Centers at the conference. The conference flyer is found in Annex 5 and the conference program can be found in Annex 6.

Other Events during 2015-2016 Review of Rotary Fellows’ Internship Experiences (August 28, 2015)

The Center once again organized an informal seminar over dinner for all Class XIII Fellows, to learn from each other’s AFE experiences. All felt that they benefited considerably from their internships. For some the experience confirmed the direction they had already chosen for their career whereas for others they found themselves considering a different path.

We also included Class XIV Fellows in the evening and asked each Class XIII Fellow to offer a few words of advice about their experiences looking for an internship. The advice this year:  Strengthen and broaden your existing network.  First year coursework is applicable to work performed during internships and future careers.  Be humble and open-minded, new skills can be acquired at all levels. Much gratitude was expressed from Peace Fellows to Rotary International for giving them this opportunity. It was a great success to include both cohorts so we plan to repeat this in future years. We continue to organize a team-building event within the first month of classes, as a way for fellows to get to Ropes Challenge know one another better and learn to work together Course while gaining valuable skills. This year, fellows (September 13, 2015) participated in a Ropes Challenge Course at UNC’s Outdoor Education Center. Both first and second-year Rotary fellows participated along with two center staff members. Through a variety of fun exercises and obstacle courses, followed by a picnic lunch, fellows enjoyed the opportunity to engage with one another on a more personal level.

Steve Killelea & Aubrey Fox visit to Duke and UNC (October 1-2, 2015)

Steve Killelea and Aubrey Fox met with fellows, faculty, and staff for an informal career talk before presenting the Rethinking Development talk at Duke University.

Steve Killelea, founder and executive chairman of the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), discussed the institute’s Global Peace Index, the world’s leading measure of national peacefulness. The institute uses the index and other tools to uncover the relationships between business, peace and prosperity, as well as promote a better understanding of the cultural, economic and political factors that create peace. Aubrey is the Executive Director of the United States office of the IEP, a non-profit think tank dedicated to shifting the world's focus to peace as a positive, achievable, and tangible measure of human well-being and progress. Steve and Aubrey were invited to attend a breakfast with fellows prior to the talk at UNC. This provided fellows the opportunity to ask questions in a more relaxed setting. Discussion revolved around the origins of the Peace Index, parameters involved with measuring peace, as well as, the ins and outs of promoting the Global Peace Index. Through storytelling, Steve provided background into his desire for measuring peace, how it reveals interconnectedness and its influence on the global community. Our center held an informal breakfast with faculty at UNC on November 23 and another at Duke on March 7th. This was a good opportunity for Fellows to interact with faculty at both Duke and UNC in a non-academic setting. Both events were well attended by Fellows and faculty members.

Faculty Breakfast: UNC - November 23rd Duke – March 7th

This academic year, our center organized a sixpart “Peace Film Series”. Three peace and conflict-related films were screened each semester. After each film screening, we held a short Q&A session which was facilitated by one of our Rotary Peace Fellows along with a faculty member. All films were free and open to the public. We began the series with the screening of Living in Emergency, which focused on humanitarianism in the context of war and conflict. In November, we screened Without A Fight, which shows how soccer brings change and conflict resolution skills to one of Africa’s largest slums. Our December film was The Tinaja Trail, which depicted the complex picture of the immigration crisis. In

January, we screened Salam Neighbor, about a Syrian refugee camp in Jordan. Our February film was A Whisper to a Roar, which tells the heroic stories of courageous democracy activists in five countries around the world. We finished our series with The Price of Sex, which explores the area of human trafficking.

Rotary Fellows Retreat at the Beach (February 5-7, 2016)

For the seventh year, Fellows were treated to a special weekend in February when a local Rotarian provided them with the use of his 12-bedroom beach house in Surf City, NC. All 19 Fellows along with some of their families participated.

Program Components in 2015-2016: The day-long orientation session for Class XIV Rotary Fellows followed months of contacts between the Center Orientation Managing Director and the new Fellows, each of whom was paired with a second-year Fellow. The orientation session was held on August 10, 2015, at the FedEx Global Education Center in Chapel Hill. This very important day provides the opportunity for Fellows to meet each other as well as the staff and faculty of the Rotary Center. In-depth introductions were made, the Center Faculty Directors presented information relative to their respective universities, the Rotary Center curriculum was discussed, as well as expectations of Rotary Fellows and the Rotary Center staff. Fellows were provided with comprehensive resource materials. The orientation materials serve as a useful reference tool for the new students. A couple of members of Class XIII participated in the afternoon leading the discussion on Fellows’ expectations. Following the orientation, a reception was held in the atrium of the FedEx Global Education Center which was attended by the Rotary Fellows and their families, as well as their host counselors, and the Rotary Center Board. The reception is an excellent way to end the orientation program. Annex 7 contains the orientation agenda. In addition to the annual trip to Washington DC, Rotary Fellows are able to take advantage of the services of the Professional Development Coordinator in the MIDP Program at Duke. By special arrangement, these services are extended to UNC Fellows as well as the Duke Fellows. We continue to liaise with the UNC Career Services Office to ensure that relevant professional development services are available to UNC Rotary Fellows.

UNC Graduate Certificate in International Peace and Conflict Resolution

Five graduating Rotary Peace Fellows received the UNC Graduate Certificate in International Peace and Conflict Resolution in May 2016. The brochure describing this certificate and the requirements for students can be found in Annex 8.

The Scholar Programming and Advisory Committee (SPAC) is an initiative that began in Scholar Programming 2003-2004, whereby Rotary Fellows elect one and Advisory member from each cohort to represent the Fellows at selected Rotary Center Board meetings. The Committee Rotary Center Board includes the SPAC representatives at a minimum of two meetings per academic year, to discuss programming and administrative matters of concern to the Fellows. SPAC representatives –Elohim Monard (Class XIII) and Ignacio Asis (Class XIV) were very active during the academic year, providing significant inputs on the curriculum and other important issues.

Rotary Center Review are included in Annex 9.

Two issues of the Rotary Center Review were published in 20152016. This publication, edited and produced by the Rotary Center Program Assistant, is distributed to a wide audience through the Rotary Center listserv. Copies of the newsletters

On April 28th, our center held its first planning committee meeting, which included Susan Carrol, Amy Cole, three fellows from Class XIV and one fellow from Class XV. The following were the goals of the planning committee:

Rotary Center Planning Committee

 Review and comment on previously held workshops.  Identify key areas of interest among each cohort (ex., leadership, conflict-sensitive programming, theory of change, M&E, negotiation, etc.)  Prepare a list of workshops that we will aim to organize for Fall 2016 and Spring 2017.

11

The annual planning retreat by the Rotary Center Board was held on May 31st, at the home of Susan Carroll. The year was reviewed and plans for 2016-2017 discussed. The main areas of review were public relations, upcoming events, alumni and the budget for the coming year.

Rotary Center Planning Retreat

Summary and Conclusions: There have been many positive developments during the year:  The Center again had an excellent outcome for admissions with all selected Fellows and most alternate candidates admitted to the universities. We particularly have a strong relationship at UNC with several departments in the Gillings School of Global Public Health, in which we had three Class XV Fellows receive admissions. Additionally, we continue to have good relations with the schools of both Journalism and Anthropology as well as the Global Studies Program.  Our Rotary Peace Fellows benefit from strong professional development opportunities, in particular within the MIDP program, UNC’s public health team as well as the Rotary Peace Center’s staff and faculty.  The Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center places enormous value on its positive and constructive relationship with the Rotary Foundation. The Rotary Fellows and Board members greatly appreciated the visits to our center by Wilfrid Wilkinson, Trustee Chairman, Peter Kyle, Rotary Peace Centers Committee Chair and Gerald A. Meigs, Major Gifts Initiative Committee Chair.

SUMMARY OF ROTARY PEACE FELLOW CORE COURSES Academic Year 2015-2016 Semester One – Cornerstone Seminar (1.0 credit): This one-credit seminar is the first of two parts designed to prepare Rotary Peace Fellows towards their future leadership roles in the field of Peace and Conflict Prevention and Resolution. This seminar will assist fellows in shaping their 21-month program of study with the goal of achieving the outcomes desired by each individual fellow. The seminar comprises three elements: (i) reflection on each fellows’ skills, attributes and achievements that they bring with them to Duke-UNC; (ii) examination of leadership and decision-making styles (through the Myers Brigg Type Indicator test), (iii) planning for the future through strategic selection of courses, the required summer internship and topics for fellows’ masters projects/theses. Introduction to Peace and Conflict Studies (2.0 credits): The objective of this seminar is to provide an introduction to the multi-disciplinary field of Peace and Conflict Studies as a foundation for and complement to the overall Rotary Curriculum through course content which: 1. Provides an introduction to the field of Peace and Conflict Studies, 2. Emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of peace and conflict studies, 3. Provides students with the appropriate analytical tools to think critically about questions relating to the origins and dynamics of conflict, as well as the possibility of peace. Semester Two – Conflict Management: The Practice of Negotiation and Mediation (3.0 credits): The purpose of this course is to teach you the theory and practice of negotiation and mediation as a means of effectively handling conflicts that occur in a variety of settings. Negotiation and mediation (as facilitated negotiation) are probably the most essential tools of diplomacy and peace-building, as well as the resolution of personal, professional and global disputes. The basic principle around which this course revolves is that conflict happens on the human level. Thus, management and resolution of conflict occurs through interpersonal communication and the ability to analyze, question, listen, persuade and problem-solve with colleagues, communities and even enemies. The goal of this course is to change the paradigm of “conflict as an adversarial encounter” to “conflict as an opportunity to solve a problem.” Semester Three – Human Rights and Conflict (3.0 credits): In this course we learn the most important basics of the overall international human rights and humanitarian law framework and the ways it is helpful to use—or not—when faced with concrete cases of conflict, be it war or other forms of large scale suffering. We learn the political history of this legal framework so Fellows have an unglorified, concrete and realistic idea of this law as it stands today. Indeed, a central aim of the course is to help Fellows know about, and then be equipped to better navigate in your own professional lives, the three leading practitioner camps that have developed to promote conflict resolution and peacebuilding, including (1) conflict resolvers, (2) human rights advocates/lawyers and (3) humanitarian workers. How is conflict, and the various ways to address it, framed by each of these camps of practitioners? What sort of tradeoffs and priorities

must we consider in any situation and stage of conflict? Is “peace versus justice” one of them? When might demands for human rights precipitate or fuel—as much as prevent or transform— conflicts? Are human rights essential for what the field of conflict resolution has termed “positive peace”? Or for “restorative justice”? Or should policymakers involved in multiple stages or types of conflict be more cautious about viewing rights as a remedy for conflicts? What practical measures have been developed for post conflict situations? Where lies the promise and the peril for key institutions like the International Criminal Court, UN Special Rapporteurs, and the Human Rights Council and their various proceedings? How must we take into account the relevant power and cross-cultural considerations? Can we ourselves be productively inspired by the particular peace-building and conflict transformation work we learn about in the course of the class? To consider these and other questions of interest to the members of the class, we connect the contemporary legal framework for human rights and the three-camps approaches to real-world efforts underway by practitioners to reframe and transform conflict and build peace. There is no expectation that students have prior academic exposure to law; instead we are always enriched by whatever experience, including with the law, our class members, and practitioners who join us as guests, bring to the class. Capacity Development (3.0 credits): To achieve sustainable development, countries need the capability to manage available resources, solve problems and set and achieve their objectives. Support to the development of these capacities is recognized as an essential element of development effectiveness. It was not always so; insufficient attention to building capacity has contributed to the failure of past development efforts to achieve anticipated objectives. This course will enable you to understand why, and how debate—and our new understanding of the nature of capacity and how it changes—has yielded a common paradigm that challenges longcherished views of development practitioners and underlies the current strategic approaches of multilateral and bilateral development agencies. We will look at the characteristics, issues, needs and approaches to capacity development in multiple dimensions—institutional, organizational and individual. Background readings, review of real-life examples and case studies will illustrate the challenges and their solutions. The class will examine the practicalities of capacity development in response to comprehensive, often cross-sectoral, challenges faced by poor communities—for example HIV and AIDS—and the challenges presented by fragile states, including conflict-affected areas, where the constraints on success are numerous and hard to overcome. We will discuss collaboration among the military, humanitarian and development organizations and private corporations operating in the same space, when roles and responsibilities overlap as organizations with different mandates and operational methods target the same beneficiaries. Participants will be expected to contribute their own experience in working in teams to prepare ideas, analyses and recommendations. There will be an opportunity for each to analyze and write a paper about an aspect of capacity development. Semester Four – Rotary Capstone Workshop (1.0 credit): This one-credit seminar is the second of two parts designed to prepare Rotary Peace Fellows towards their future leadership roles in the field of Peace and Conflict Prevention and Resolution. This seminar will constitute the “wrapping up” by fellows as they prepare to embark on important professional endeavors. The seminar comprises three elements: (i) a “cross-fertilization” workshop at which fellows will present the

Annex 2

diagnosis and initial conclusions of their Master’s project/thesis and receive the suggestions of their peers and the Faculty; (ii) a career workshop preparing the fellows towards their future leadership roles in the field of Peace and Conflict Prevention and Resolution; and (iii) the fellows’ public presentation at the Rotary Conference in mid-April. Humanitarianism in War and Peace (2.0 credits): In 1901 Henry Dunant, the visionary of the Red Cross movement shared the first Nobel Peace Prize. In 1999 it was awarded to Médecins Sans Frontières, the more rebellious descendant of the Red Cross tradition. Nonetheless, efforts to ameliorate conflict and efforts to promote peace as a utopian goal often exhibit a tense relationship, since humanitarian action often attends to immediate needs and saving lives rather than addressing root causes or resolving questions of progress or justice. This course will examine the larger historical legacy of humanitarianism both in relation to war and to efforts to further general human progress. We will approach this phenomenon from the critical and comparative perspective of anthropology, focusing on actual human practice. The current aid complex includes a wide variety of forms and activities, from large bureaucracies to tiny NGOs, massive health campaigns to lonely clinics. Emphasizing on case studies alongside conceptual history, the course will explore the humanitarian tradition in practice, and situate it relative to questions of human conflict and suffering. This course is intended to serve the Rotary Peace Fellows program. As such it assumes considerable life experience, and, in the methodological tradition of anthropology, treating that experience as the basis for ethnographic observation and reflection.

Faculty-Director of Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center Visiting Professor of Public Policy; Duke Center for International Development, Duke University Course: “Human Rights and Conflict” and “Rotary Capstone” Catherine Admay teaches law and policy at the undergraduate and graduate level, and is member of the Faculty of the Duke Center for International Development (DCID) at the Sanford School of Public Policy as well as affiliated faculty for the Duke Global Health Institute. She earned her degrees at Yale College (A.B. Philosophy magna cum laude) 1988, and Yale Law School (J.D.) 1992. Professor Admay's teaching and research interests are in areas of public international law, the relationship of international and national law, the relationship of foreign policy to law and ethics, the arts and human rights, comparative constitutional law, and law and development. Through the International Development Clinics she codirected at NYU Law School (1993-96) and founded at Duke Law School (1996-2002), she and her graduate students have advised high-level policy makers on matters of law and politics. Most recently, she was asked to attend oral argument and consult with participants in litigation before the United States Supreme Court concerning whether corporations, as a category of actors in the world, could be held liable for complicity in human rights violations (Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum). This summer she will conduct further field research in South Africa on the ways judges, human rights lawyers and citizen activists engage with the arts to overcome the limitations of legal discourse. Susan Carroll, M.A. Managing Director, Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center Course: “Rotary Cornerstone” Managing Director of the Duke-UNC Rotary Center, she joined the Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center as Coordinator in May 2005. She has more than 20 years experience in the field of international humanitarian assistance, principally working for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. She has worked on large-scale refugee operations in Sudan, Ethiopia, Malawi, Turkey, Hong Kong and Thailand. In 1991, Susan was the first UN Liaison Officer with allied forces in Incirlik, Turkey, working with military personnel on the protection and assistance of Kurdish refugees. She also coordinated two UNHCR training programs, one focusing on gender analysis of refugee populations, and the other on management of emergencies. Susan received her bachelor’s degree in geology from Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut and has done graduate studies at the Institut Universitaire des Hautes Etudes Internationales in Geneva. Jason Cross, Ph.D. Lecturing Fellow, Duke Center for International Development Course: “Introduction to Peace and Conflict Studies” Jason Marc Cross is Director of the Innovation & Technology Policy Lab at Duke (ITPLab), Visiting Assistant Professor of Public Policy, Global Health, and Markets & Management Studies, and Lecturing Fellow in Law. His teaching, scholarship and consulting address the role of law and technology in international development, human rights, global health and science, and technology governance. As founding Director of ITPLab, Cross leads research on novel open source and intellectual property strategies for development and human rights. A lawyer and anthropologist, his own research examines how law and technology

Annex 3  

are used to manage expert knowledge and public participation in decision-making with humanitarian objectives. His writing addresses access to medicines and technology for developing countries, trends in innovation policy and economic law, and the promotion of democracy and human rights. Cross is writing a book manuscript entitled Empire’s Expertise: Law, Technology & Democratic Governance in Postwar El Salvador. Cross co-founded and helped manage Minga Foundation, a global health non-profit working in Latin America and Africa. He has collaborated with Knowledge Ecology International and Doctors Without Borders Access to Essential Medicines Campaign, and served as legal advisor to the Ministry of Health of El Salvador on pharmaceutical regulation, international trade agreement compliance, and health system reform. Lately, he has been co-founding a global telemedicine company and a green technology strategy firm. Cross was a summer associate with the Washington, D.C., office of Thelen Reid, and also worked with community organizations in North Carolina to improve economic development policies and expand access to healthcare for the uninsured. He was a National Science Foundation Fellow and Fulbright-Hays Fellow while completing a Ph.D. in legal, political and economic anthropology. In law school, Cross was an editor for the Duke Journal of Comparative & International Law, was a member and coach of the World Trade Organization Moot Court team, and assisted in the Military Commission trials of Salim Hamdan & Mohammed Jawad with the Duke Guantanamo Defense Clinic. Cross teaches courses at Duke on the law, policy and ethics of innovation, international trade & investment, entrepreneurship, international development, human rights, global health, and science and technology. He earned his J.D. and Ph.D. at Duke University, an M.A. in the History & Philosophy of Science from the University of Pittsburgh, and a B.A. in Anthropology from the Pennsylvania State University. Prior to returning to Duke, Cross was Postdoctoral Fellow in Science & Technology Policy at the University of Michigan’s Ford School of Public Policy. Francis Lethem, Ph.D. Professor of the Practice Emeritus Course: “Rotary Capstone” He is Professor of the Practice Emeritus and former Director of the Duke Center for International Development (DCID). He is also a Board member and Co-Director emeritus of the Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center. His professional interests include institutional design for sustainable development, the design and management of development projects, project design for conflict prevention, and human resources development in developing countries. Before joining Duke in 1994, Dr. Lethem worked for about 30 years at the World Bank including as a policy and projects adviser. He obtained his doctorate in economics from Neuchatel University (Switzerland) in 1967, was a Fellow at Harvard University’s Center for International Affairs in 1975/ 76, and is the co-author of World Bank Staff Working Papers on organization design, the consideration of human factors in development work, law and development, and the management of technical assistance. In 2006, he was named a Paul Harris Fellow by Rotary International. Peter Redfield, Ph.D. Professor of Anthropology, University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill Course: “Humanitarianism in War and in Peace” His first research project focused on the European space program in French Guiana, comparing it to earlier French efforts to develop the region, especially the notorious penal colony known as Devil’s Island. Between 1990 and 1994 he worked in both French Guiana and France, combining ethnographic fieldwork with archival research; the results appeared as a book for the University of California Press in 2000. At its core the book addresses the greater ecology of modern technology, examining the reconfiguration of French Guiana’s social and natural landscape into a proper habitat for the assembly and launch of satellites into high orbit. His larger goal in writing it was to

Annex 3  

interrogate the success of a distinctly planetary system with a more local history, one rife with repeated colonial failure and unintended consequences. His second major research project extended this concern for global projects, but shifted focus to non-state actors and a moving frontier of health crises, examining the nongovernmental organization Doctors Without Borders/Medécins Sans Frontières (MSF). Founded four decades ago as a French effort to establish a more engaged and oppositional form of medical humanitarianism, MSF has grown into a transnational institution, known both for excellent logistics and for outspoken independence. MSF missions now stretch well beyond emergency responses to humanitarian disaster to target specific diseases and structural inequities in global health, always struggling between twin goals of efficacy and advocacy. He conducted fieldwork both at MSF’s operational headquarters in Europe (especially sections in France, Belgium, Holland and Switzerland), and multiple project sites in Uganda. The book appeared on the University of California Press in 2013. During this period he also collaborated with Erica Bornstein on an edited volume through the SAR Advanced Seminar series, and engaged in other collective work addressing humanitarianism. His present work follows examples of science, technology and medicine beyond reliable infrastructure. He is particularly interested in emerging forms of humanitarian design, and a varied array of efforts to produce innovative fixes and solutions in a box (examples range from nonprofit pharmaceutical production to minimalist life technologies related to food, shelter, water and sanitation). His goal is to consider the complicated ethics and politics of interventions that seek to do good by saving lives, particularly as they relate to past utopian projects of social welfare and justice. Shai Tamari Associate Director of the Carolina Center for the Study of the Middle East and Muslim Civilizations, University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill Course: “Conflict Management: The Practice of Negotiation and Mediation” Shai Tamari is the Associate Director of the Carolina Center for the Study of the Middle East and Muslim Civilizations at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he administers a federal grant in support of Middle East studies on campus. He is also a lecturer under the Department of Public Policy, Department of Political Science, and the Curriculum in Peace, War, and Defense at UNC, where he teaches “Conflict Management: The Practice of Negotiation & Mediation” to undergraduate and graduate students. His previous courses included: “Challenges to Peace Making in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict,” “Palestinian Nationalism, Politics, and Diplomacy,” and “U.S.-Israel Relations.” Prior to his UNC appointments, between 2008 and 2010, Shai was the foreign policy adviser for Congressman James P. Moran (D-VA) at the U.S. House of Representatives, and focused on issues such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, human rights in Iran, and parental child abduction to Japan. Born and raised in Jerusalem, Shai served in the Israeli military between 1994 and 1997. He earned a B.A. in Journalism from the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia, and a Master's degree in Near and Middle Eastern Studies from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) at the University of London in the UK. In 2006, Shai was awarded a Rotary Peace Fellowship and studied for a second Master's in Global History, along with Arabic and Conflict Resolution at UNC-Chapel Hill. While a Rotary Peace Fellow, Shai worked in the summer of 2007 with the Cooperative Housing Foundation (CHF) International in Amman, Jordan. Shai is a native speaker of Hebrew, a continuing student of Arabic, a trained mediator for North Carolina Superior Court Mediated Settlement Conferences, and sits on the Board of Directors of American Near East Refugee Aid.

Global Studies, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill AFE UNC Center for Civil Rights, Chapel Hill, NC, USA Romi is currently studying a MA in Global Studies at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill. She has previously worked in human rights organizations geared towards providing legal assistance to indigent individuals and refugees. More recently, she worked as a researcher for the UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions. In her work, she has been struck by the number of different aspects which play a role in fueling political instability and human rights abuses. Whilst Romi has a legal background (having completed a LLB degree in law and a LLM in international law), she selected to study an interdisciplinary Master’s degree in order to obtain a multidimensional perspective, which she considers essential in overcoming human rights abuses. Upon graduation Romi plans on returning to her home country to use the knowledge she has gained to further human rights and combat abuses.

Rotary Review, vol. 23

News and Events This academic year, along with other seminars, the Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center has organized a “Peace Film Series”. Three peace and conflict-related films will be screened each semester. Each film will be followed by a moderated discussion. On Friday, September 25th, our center held its first screening of “Living in Emergency”. This film was an excellent opportunity to consider humanitarianism in the context of war and conflict. Following the screening of the film, we held a short discussion session with UNC professor, Peter Redfield and Rotary Peace Fellow, Jean Lambert Chalachala. Professor Redfield has conducted fieldwork both at MSF’s operational headquarters in Europe (especially sections in France, Belgium, Holland and Switzerland), and multiple project sites in Uganda. His research and fieldwork led to the publication of his book in 2013, Life in Crisis: The Ethical Journey of Doctors Without Borders. Jean Lambert Chalachala has worked as an emergency doctor with MSF, touring the Democratic Republic of the Congo to lead responses to epidemic outbreaks. Visit our website for information about upcoming screenings. On Monday, November 2 at 5:30 pm, we will be screening “Without A Fight”, which shows how soccer brings change to one of Africa’s largest slums.

Teambuilding Day At the beginning of each year, our center hosts a Teambuilding Day, which provides fellows the opportunity to get to know one another better and learn to work together while gaining valuable skills. This is a rewarding opportunity and welcome change of pace from the rigors of studies. On September 13, all current Rotary Peace Fellows along with Susan and Amy, participated in the Challenge Course at the UNC Outdoor Education Center.

Pre-Capstone and Internship Briefing Dinner On August 28th, all Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Fellows participated in an Internship Briefing Dinner at Duke University. This event is held annually to provide second-year fellows the opportunity to share stories and discuss how their summer internship experience may have changed the way they think about their studies, Rotary fellowship and future career plans. For first-year fellows, this is an opportunity to receive information and advice as they begin the application process for their upcoming internship. Advice from Class 13 Networking: Strengthen and broaden your existing network Skillbuilding: First-year coursework is applicable to work performed during internships and future careers. Humility: Be humble and open-minded, new skills can be acquired at all levels. Much gratitude was expressed from Peace Fellows to Rotary International for giving them this opportunity.

Steve Killelea & Aubrey Fox visit - Oct. 1-2, 2015 Steve Killelea and Aubrey Fox met with fellows, faculty, and staff for an informal career talk before presenting the Rethinking Development talk at Duke University. Steve Killelea, founder and executive chairman of the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), discussed the institute’s Global Peace Index, the world’s leading measure of national peacefulness. The institute uses the index and other tools to uncover the relationships between business, peace and prosperity, as well as promote a better understanding of the cultural, economic and political factors that create peace. Aubrey is the Executive Director of the United States office of the IEP, a non-profit think tank dedicated to shifting the world's focus to peace as a positive, achievable, and tangible measure of human well-being and progress. Steve and Aubrey were invited to attend a breakfast with fellows prior to the talk at UNC. This provided fellows the opportunity to ask questions in a more relaxed setting. Discussion revolved around the origins of the Peace Index, parameters involved with measuring peace, as well as, the ins and outs of promoting the Global Peace Index. Through storytelling, Steve provided background into his desire for measuring peace, how it reveals interconnectedness and its influence on the global community.

Summer 2015 Internships Osborn Kwena - New York, NY

Romi Brammer - Chapel Hill, NC

I did my summer internship at the Earth Institute, Columbia University in New York. I was the Implementation Intern, West Africa portfolio under the One Million Community Health Workers Campaign (1mCHW) project. The main goal of 1mCHW Campaign was to help African governments deploy an upgraded generation of community health workers (CHWs), trained, supervised, remunerated, and supported by the latest in community based health technology. As an Implementation Intern, I was tasked to support the Campaign’s implementation planning efforts to prepare for a roll-out of the CHW pilot program in the Ashanti Region in Ghana. The pilot study was to serve in informing a national level scale-up of CHWs across all ten regions of Ghana. This was being done in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, Ghana Health Service and implementing partners.

My decision to study a MA in Global Studies was motivated by the realisation that an interdisciplinary Master’s degree would provide me with a broader understanding of why human rights abuses occur and how better to protect them, which would prove crucial in my work. In planning my AFE I sought to further this multidimensional approach to human rights by working at the UNC Center for Civil Rights (CCR), an organisation that provides legal assistance to marginalised communities by means of impact litigation. Working there would expose me to the practical side of foreign human rights law and thus give me a different perspective on enforcing such rights. My duties at CCR included researching and analysing policies and practices in relation to education and the environment and how they resulted in discrimination as well as gathering evidence to prove such discrimination. My work will ultimately form part of future court cases and complaints. I believe that I gained valuable experiences at CCR and internalised different strategies that can be employed to strengthen human rights protection in my own country. One significant lesson for me was that whilst there is much to learn from advanced countries, such as the US, there are also great things that we, in smaller countries, have to offer which advanced states could potentially learn from as well. Overall, working at the CCR re-emphasised the important role that law plays in enforcing human rights and its contribution to peace by including the marginalised and giving the voiceless a chance to be heard.

My assignments were to conduct literature reviews on the effectiveness of incentivizing CHW programs and the effectiveness of the use of mHealth in CHW programs. I helped to draft the Development Innovation Ventures (DIV) funding proposal and the development of the concept note to be used in the proposal. Other assignments included devising a situational analysis that was used during stakeholder engagement workshops to inform them on system planning. In addition, I helped in the development of a sustainability plan for the pilot project, attended internal meetings, webinars and wrote summary reports for my supervisor.

Mariana Abdalla – Copenhagen, Denmark From May to August, 2015, I joined Cycling Without Age, a notfor-profit organization where volunteers sign up for bike rides with elderly people. Currently, more than 2,500 volunteers ensure that the elderly get out of their nursing homes, out on the bikes to enjoy the fresh air and the community around them. I was given the amazing task of, together with two other film crew members, photographing, videographing and telling two personal stories through short portrait documentary films. Working with the elder population and in a very developed country, like Denmark, has been especially enriching for my storytelling skills and perspective on the universality of humanity as a Rotary Peace Fellow. No matter where in the globe, we all feel the same emotions and deal with the same inherent vulnerabilities. No human being or action is undeserving of empathetic – yet still reasonable – responses and judgements. I firmly believe and work towards spreading the idea that if that is genuinely accounted for in the way we experience ourselves and others, things might, after all, be different. Watch “Finn” and “Christian” at www.marianaabdalla.com

Vanessa Uriarte – Tegucigalpa, Honduras I came to the Rotary Peace Fellowship with a background in the non-profit sector, working with at-risk children and youth. For my Applied Field Experience, I had an interest in exploring human rights based approaches, particularly focused on children’s rights. During the summer, I interned with UNICEF in Tegucigalpa, Honduras where I worked on a situational analysis of out of school adolescents in vulnerable situations, both in urban and rural areas of the country. I developed policy recommendations in response to the research conducted on the causes and determinants of adolescents dropping out of school. The policy recommendation could prevent adolescents from dropping out of school as well as provide inclusion for those currently out of the education system. During my research, I reviewed literature regarding adolescent’s development. I also collected data from UN agencies and country agencies to conduct a participative research by working closely with the Ministry of Education. The most meaningful experience was to consult with adolescents (in school and out of school), teachers, parents, local authorities and education experts. Furthermore, I visited schools with the highest concentration of school drop out where there was a generalized image: overcrowded classrooms with very little equipment, limited access to water and sanitation, poorly trained teachers and school violence inside and outside. Children and adolescents must have the appropriate conditions present, allowing them access to school as well as the ability to stay in and complete their education. Moreover, they have the right to a quality education, where they can learn and develop competencies to participate and become responsible members of their communities. In conclusion, the Applied Field Experience was a fantastic opportunity to learn more about Education Policy and to strengthen my skills and knowledge as a development practitioner.

Summer 2015 Internships, continued Cristina Andoni - Durham, NC

This summer, I interned with the Duke Center for Globalization, Governance and Competitiveness (CGGC) at Duke University in Durham, working on the Minerva Research Initiative Project funded by the US Ministry of Defense. The project, in its third year of implementation, seeks to better understand the social, cultural, and political dynamics that shape regions of strategic interest around the world. At Duke, I focused on researching the wheat value chain through a Global Value Chain (GVC) lens. More particularly, I dissected interdependencies among participants in the Russian wheat GVC (the private sector in particular) and how changes or disruptions in the value chain, influences food security in the Middle East and North African (MENA) region. Food security has been a recurring issue on the radar of development organizations for decades and increasingly acute since the 2007/8 food crisis. Increasing demand for food and a growing world population, make food insecurity a problem that expands beyond borders and national security. Any spikes in food prices and food delivery, impose not only fiscal and institutional challenges on developing countries, but directly impacts lives. Wheat, a popular staple food in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, is essential for the food diets of its citizens and is also the main imported commodity for a number of countries, such as Egypt, Morocco and others. It is also a cereal, in which export is controlled by a limited number of countries, including Russia, which is currently the world's fourth largest wheat exporter. By analyzing how the wheat market in Russia functions, what the interdependencies are between market participants and the state, we can better understand the interconnectedness between domestic consumption and policies in Russia on food security, or rather insecurity, abroad. The GVC framework, pioneered by Gary Gereffi, the CGGC Director, "provides both the conceptual and methodological tools for looking at global, regional, and local economies by using a top-down approach that examines the global lead firms that control trade, as well as a bottom-up approach that studies countries and regions, which are explored in terms of their economic, social and environmental upgrading or downgrading trajectories." (Ahmed at al. 2013, Wheat Value Chains and Food Security in the Middle East and North Africa Region) I feel very fortunate for the opportunity to contribute to the work of CGGC and learn from its talented research associates and staff. The experience I gained this summer helped me not only learn about an analysis framework that can be applied to understanding development issues, but also introduced me to a new topic that became of great interest to me. I am especially thankful for the guidance of Ghada Ahmed, a Master of Development in International Policy alumna and generous supervisor from whom I learned daily.

Jean Lambert Chalachala - Durham, NC

My AFE was with IntraHealth International, a North Carolina-based non-profit organization whose mission is to empower health workers to better serve communities in need around the world. I was working with the program focused on the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) called “Acces aux soins de santé primaires” which is helping the Ministry of Health better plan and manage its health workforce by supporting the implementation of strategic human resources for health interventions. I mainly supported the quality improvement process of the iHRIS project, which is the identification process of health workers in the DRC. I made a preliminary analysis of the Open Source Human Resources Information Solutions (iHRIS) database and helped to figure out problems like ghost workers, lack of reliability and consistency in data sources and missing information in the database. I also contributed to the implementation of the workload indicators of staffing needs (WISN) project which works to determine the staffing requirements of nurses and doctors. During this practicum, I was able to meet all of my learning objectives and realized how important it is to improve the management of human resources for health. Working in Human Resources Management opened my eyes. I can be sure that this opportunity with IntraHealth is impacting my present and future professional goals as a public health and peace and conflict management practitioner. Page 4

Summer 2015 Internships, continued Jae Ryul Kim - Nairobi, Kenya

This summer, I had an unforgettable internship at the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Kenya Country Office. It was very rewarding to be part of the UNFPA's humanitarian and development efforts to achieve universal access to reproductive health, reduce maternal mortality, and improve the lives of underserved and vulnerable populations in Kenya. My main task was to develop a comprehensive country specific humanitarian preparedness and response strategy and to support the monitoring and evaluation work to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of UNFPA's services in the country. During my internship, I learned diverse perspectives and approaches on population and development, gender equality, reproductive health, etc. One of the highlights was a mission trip to Mombasa and Kilifi Country for the Joint UNFPA / Government of Kenya Field Monitoring Visit, which enabled me to see the real situation in the field and the UNFPA's humanitarian and development intervention. Taking this opportunity, I would like to thank the Rotary International for supporting me to have this fruitful and rewarding experience. Rebeccah Bartlett - North Carolina & Tennessee

IntraHealth I spent the summer working at IntraHealth International on a communications and advocacy brief aimed at drawing attention to this important human rights issue. I completed a literature review and a publishable advocacy brief. I also wrote two blogs, which can be accessed here and here, and presented an end of fellowship poster presentation for staff and invited guests. I have also designed a social media campaign to be launched during the 16 Days of Activism to End Violence Against Women in November/December. This social media campaign includes tweets, two short videos (one infographic and one animated) and posters designed to build awareness that respectful maternity care is everyone’s responsibility. Remote Area Medical (RAM) I requested to work with RAM because I saw the life saving work they were doing at the domestic level with underserved and vulnerable communities in the Appalachian Mountains. At headquarters, I conducted formative research on what the organization’s needs were from the staff-viewpoint and acquired and de-identified a large dataset that I am currently in the process of analyzing for my follow up report to RAM later this year. At the clinics, I assisted in the management of volunteers and saw patients in a clinical role as needed. I conducted some qualitative interviews assessing MCH and general needs and hope to use this data for the follow up report also. During both of my internships I was able to apply skills that were directly relatable to the classes I have undertaken during my time at UNC School of Public Health. I would like to thank Rotary for giving me this incredible opportunity to undertake such meaningful and community focused work. I hope to be able to continue to serve others above my self as my career continues. Page 5

Rotary Review, vol. 23

Summer 2015 Internships, continued Elohim Monard - Brussels, Belgium

I performed my AFE with the Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP) at their headquarters in Brussels, Belgium. During my internship, I developed an interactive map for potential partnerships and supported the CEO, Doris Mariani during the final stage of the strategic planning of the organization. As a result, I deeply understood the courageous work of NP to protect civilians in violent conflicts through unarmed strategies, build peace side by side with local communities, and advocate for these nonviolent approaches in order to safeguard the lives and dignity of people in countries, such as South Sudan, Myanmar and the Philippines. I also was engaged in some meetings organized by the European Peacebuilding Liaison Office (EPLO) that addressed the current situation, new challenges and emerging trends to reduce violence and foster sustainable peace in different parts of the world. Finally, the three months in Brussels were not only a professional but a personal experience, by enjoying the nature, culture and entertainment of different European cities. Carlos Juarez - Mexico City, Mexico

My AFE was in Mexico City, due to a fortunate coincidence where I was offered two different internships that developed simultaneously. First, with the Institute for Economics and Peace, I was able to participate in the presentation of the Global Peace Index in Mexico and attend several meetings with relevant actors and experts on violence, conflict and peace. I now have an inside perspective on how the Global Peace Index and the Mexico Peace Index are developed every year and what are the global trends on violence. The other institution was The Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL Latin America). The project I worked for was related to Prospera (formerly Oportunidades), perhaps the best known Mexican conditional cash transfer program. For two and a half months we analyzed its very complex structure to find areas of improvement in terms of evaluation of impact and evidence based decisions. The methodological standards of J-PAL and the relevance of Prospera, taught me a lot about policy design and the evaluation process.

Alumni Updates Spotlight: Graduating Class of 2015 (Class XII) Manish Kumar graduated from UNC-CH in May 2015 with a Masters in Public Health. After graduation, Manish began working as the Senior Technical Specialist-Health Systems Strengthening in the MEASURE Evaluation Project at the Carolina Population Center of UNC Chapel Hill. MEASURE Evaluation project aims to strengthen capacity in developing countries to gather, interpret, and use data to improve health. He is involved in supporting the implementation of Data for Accountability, Transparency and Impact (DATIM) information system in more than 30 countries. He is also engaged in health information systems research, health informatics and capacity building activities aimed at strengthening the country health information systems in low and middle-income countries. Lyttelton Braima graduated from Duke University with a Masters of International Development Policy (MIDP). He is currently working with Namati - Innovations in Legal Empowerment. www.namati.org His current role is to organize and moderate web seminars with field offices and local partners in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Myanmar and India - to share lessons across country offices and regions on how paralegals/grassroots legal advocates use national land laws and traditional/customary practices to improve community-based natural resource management and strengthening service delivery in the health and justice sectors . Hai-Ryung Sung graduated from UNC-CH in May 2015 with a Masters in Public Health. She is working on a doctoral degree in the Department of Environmental Sciences and Engineering at the University of North Carolina. Her research involves developing Maternal and Child Health programs that encourage Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WaSH) behavior changes at health care facilities, such as in the delivery environment. Specifically, she is planning to implement a project in Cambodia with Rotary clubs in the U.S. and Korea. In this project, she hopes to reduce morbidity and mortality rates, by implementing adequate WaSH practices in health care facilities in Cambodia. Recently, she attended GlobalRun4Water, a meaningful fundraising event hosted by Rotary District 7710. More than a hundred runners and walkers participated to support Rotary’s mission to bring clean water to everyone throughout the world. In many developing countries, women and children have the burden of walking many miles carrying heavy bottles of water. During the fundraising walk, many people chose to carrying heavy bottles of water to have a glimpse into the difficulties these women and children face. She hopes her Ph.D. studies will result in the overall improvement of human health, including maternal and child health by working on Water, Sanitation and Hygiene programs in developing countries.

Pranisa Ekachote graduated from Duke University with a Masters of International Development Policy (MIDP). She is currently a national consultant at UNDP Thailand supporting public procurement reform efforts in Thailand (a seven-month project). Currently, Thailand is not in the possession of a coherent public procurement law, but a regulatory system based on government regulations. With such a regulatory approach there are risks of fragmentation instead of coherence, weak enforceability and coverage, lack of legal certainty for the bidders, insufficient protection for procurement staff, and opportunities for unjustified exemptions and discretion. In this context, the Royal Thai Government is in the process of drafting a new Public Procurement Law (PPL). The project aims to provide the best international technical expertise in this field to ensure that the designs of secondary legislation, institutional setup, and capacity development strategy will lead to effective implementation of PPL and successful public procurement reforms. She will assist and provide support in conducting a comprehensive review of legal infrastructure and developing additional guidance documents to support effective implementation of the new PPL. She will also coordinate and communicate with relevant stakeholders to make sure that communication between the two international experts and the Thai government agencies are on the same page. Dilshad Jaff graduated from UNC-CH in May 2015 with a Masters in Public Health. He joined the Gillings Global Gateway™ as a Research Advisor for Disaster Preparedness and Conflict Prevention in July 2015. During this appointment he will assist the Gillings Global Gateway™ in the development and implementation of a disaster preparedness and conflict prevention landscape analysis, desktop research, speaker mini-series, and related activities, including organizing two one day conferences on disaster preparedness and conflict prevention. Luiz Pinto graduated from Duke University with a Masters of International Development Policy (MIDP). He is currently working with the National Service of Industrial Learning (SENAI), as the Unit Director in a remote town called Parauapebas, State of Pará. Parauapebas is the largest producer of iron ore in Brazil, but is a typical example of a resource curse and paradox of plenty, i.e. rich in natural resources, but poor in economic development. SENAI was created by the Brazilian industrial sector to provide formal training for specialized workers for the industry, including areas of chemistry, mechanics and construction. Luiz sees this as a unique opportunity to promote development through professional education. He believes that the skills he learned at Duke University will aide him in promoting peace through development. His current role is to oversee the training of around 16,000 people every year, most of them are either poor or extremely poor. After completion of this program they will be able to enter the workforce with a professional skill, making a difference in their ability to provide for themselves and their family.

Alumni Updates  Silvia Fontana - Class XII The DRCongo has a special place in my heart: my first mission  as a humanitarian was in the eastern part of the DRCongo, in a  small  village  called  Gety,  in  a  zone  considered  by  the  United  Na ons a red zone, therefore highly insecure, for the presence  of armed groups. There I witnessed the condi ons of the popu‐ la on,  subjected  to  abuses,  violence  and  chronic  depriva on.  The  abundance  of  minerals  such  as  Tin,  tungsten,  tantalum  (the  ‘3Ts’)  and  gold  in  the  zone  represents  a  curse:  armed  groups  took  control  of  mining  areas  to  gain  from  the  illicit  traffic of these high value minerals. The profits from this traffic  fund their violent ac ons in the region, in a never‐ending cycle  of  violence.  These  minerals  are  “conflict  minerals”,  minerals  found in all of our consumer electronics, jewelry, automo ve,  and  other  products  and  present  in  abundance  in  the  eastern  DRCongo.  As  a  Rotary  Peace  Fellow  Alumna,  commi ed  to‐ ward  peace  and  conflict  resolu on,  I  decided  to  raise  aware‐ ness on conflict minerals at university level. I started with my  alma mater, Bocconi University, where in April I spoke to stu‐ dents about conflict minerals and their global connec on with  us, presen ng also recommenda ons on how to break the re‐ source curse. A student‐led associa on, Students for Humani‐ ty, now started a campaign asking the University to become a Conflict‐Free Campus. The Conflict‐Free Campus  Ini a ve (CFCI) draws on the power of students to support peace in the DRCongo. By encouraging the universi‐ ty, large purchaser of electronics, to commit to measures that pressure electronics companies to invest respon‐ sibly in DRCongo's minerals sector, students demand for conflict‐free products from DRCongo. Crea ng an in‐ terna onal demand for conflict‐free minerals contributes to limit the illicit traffic of minerals with a consequent  loss of profits for the armed groups, thus diminishing their ability to operate in the region.

Rotary  Peace  Fellow  alumnus  Dilshad  Jaff  has  led  the  efforts  at  UNC's  Gillings  School  of  Global Public Health to create an online tool for local and global public health profession‐ als,  within  the  University  and  without,  to  easily  search  for  resources  on  public  health  in  conflicts and disasters. Learn more about what the Gillings School is doing to expand its ca‐ pacity in conflict and disaster.
