Abstract

Impact does not always arise as a primary objective of research. Naomi Pendle, who has been researching South Sudan’s local justice system for a decade, has had a significant impact on the World Food Programme’s warning systems for famine in the country as a by-product of her work, with important lessons for other researchers trying to influence policy. As part of a new series of blogposts focused on real-world impact on the Africa at LSE Blog, Duncan Green talks to Naomi about how her work brought about these changes.
