The CoCooN programme has put local demand articulation and ownership at the
forefront of the research in order to effectively provide knowledge for development
and bring about positive change in the interface between natural resources and conflict.
CoCooN's focus on a positive contribution to development implies that its knowledge
and research activities are strongly embedded in the wider development context and
are part of an innovation system. It requires active interaction with key stakeholders
in demand articulation, design and execution of concrete research projects. This has
enhanced the societal relevance and incorporation of results in policy and practice. As
discussed in section 3, the active involvement of NGOs and beneficiaries in the diverse
tracking systems, monitoring and advocacy initiatives can assist in fostering a more
effective approach in reality, where the goals, approaches, outcomes and impacts are
shared among the stakeholders involved and may also serve as examples for others,
thereby replicating itself in other areas and domains.
