$800,000

Based in London, Chatham House, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, is an independent policy institute that engages governments, the private sector, and civil society in open debate and private discussions about significant developments in international affairs. Its Africa Programme is a center for policy research and debate aimed at improving policy outcomes for communities in Africa. With this final renewal award, the Chatham House Africa Programme team and Nigerian partners continue to conduct research on social norms, corruption, and behavior change in Nigeria to provide context-specific information for policymakers and practitioners to develop effective and sustainable anti-corruption interventions. As anti-corruption behavior change interventions continue to proliferate, it is crucial to ensure they are guided by evidence. This round of research focuses on trendsetting and integrity behaviors to understand the factors that motivate some people to reject corrupt behaviors; why people hold particular beliefs about the acceptability of corruption; and a comparative analysis of the project’s data to improve understanding of local contexts and how different social identities (gender, ethnic, socioeconomic, religious, and others) affect beliefs and expectations of corruption and accountability. Chatham House plans to disseminate the results to policymakers, practitioners, civil society partners, and donors through publications, briefings, and events.

$500,000

Chatham House is an independent policy institute based in London, whose mission is to help governments and societies build a sustainably secure, prosperous, and just world. This grant supports a project that uses an interactive model to enable experts and policymakers to visualize the complex international system in which nuclear weapons exist. The aim is to help experts and policymakers determine how specific policy decisions might have consequences (unintended or otherwise) on the nuclear regime. Chatham House will identify pathways in the model where encouraging or guiding behavior could produce far-reaching positive impacts on existing nuclear deterrence and arms control policies.

Based in London, Chatham House is an independent policy institute that engages governments, the private sector, and civil society in open debate and private discussions about significant developments in international affairs. Its Africa program is a center for policy research and debate aimed at improving policy outcomes for citizens in Africa. With this award, Chatham House Africa program staff and a range of Nigerian partners are conducting research on social norms, corruption, and behavior change in eight states and the Federal Capital Territory of Abuja in Nigeria.

$455,000

Founded in 1920, Chatham House engages governments, the private sector, civil society and its members in open debate and confidential discussion on the most significant developments in international affairs. This project constitutes the second phase of Chatham House’s Cyber Security and Nuclear Security project, implemented with MacArthur Foundation support between 2013-2015. It builds on the policy recommendations that were put forward in the Chatham House report Cyber Security at Civil Nuclear Facilities: Understanding the Risks. This second phase, Cyber Security at Civil Nuclear Facilities: Addressing the risks and implementing the solutions, focuses on assisting industry in developing standards that can be used to measure best practice in mitigating cyber threats and developing training materials that can be used to educate professionals about cyber vulnerabilities in civil nuclear facilities. The project intends to tangibly reduce the cyber threat to civil nuclear infrastructure.

2013 (1 year)

Founded in 1920, Chatham House’s mission is to be a world-leading source of independent analysis, informed debate and influential ideas on how to build a prosperous and secure world.

It endeavors to achieve a more nuanced understanding of multi-power relationships, with a particular focus on the U.S., China, Japan and India. Funds will be used for partial staff salaries, travel to Asia and the United States, roundtables, and publications.
