Episode 1 – Beyond Series | Rift Valley Radio
What have we learned from six years of cross-border research on conflict, governance, and resilience in the Horn of Africa?
In the opening episode of the Beyond Series, Rift Valley Institute’s Jason Mosley speaks with Hannah Stogdon and Joel Odiwuor Otieno about the legacy of the XCEPT programme. Together, they reflect on the insights, challenges, and unexpected outcomes of one of the region’s most ambitious research initiatives.
The conversation explores:
- The role of long-term collaboration in shaping regional policy
- The importance of centering local researchers and knowledge systems
- What it will take to sustain momentum beyond XCEPT
This six-part podcast series is part of Rift Valley Radio and features researchers and practitioners reflecting on the intersections between evidence and policy in conflict-affected borderlands.
