Acknowledgements
The review team wishes to thank all the individuals who gave generously their time, some submitting to multiple interviews. Without their assistance, this review could not have been undertaken.
We are especially grateful to all British officials and support staff in Afghanistan, Lebanon, Nepal and Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) who organised our programmes, interrupted their busy schedules to meet with us and ensured that we arrived at our destinations in a safe and timely fashion. In Kabul, we particularly wish to thank Katy Ransome, in Beirut Michael Maguire, in Jerusalem Sean McColm and in Kathmandu Jemima Gordon-Duff and Sheba Rosier for facilitating our visits.
In London we are indebted to Julia Shand, Tom Hamilton-Baillie, and Claire Fitzroy for their support in facilitating meetings.
The authors also wish to thank Mark White (DFID) and Will Hines (FCO) for commissioning, guiding and co-ordinating the review process. Their support throughout has been invaluable.
