As part of this project, Jaclyn co-authored the ‘Elite Bargains and Political Deals Toolkit’, a technical guide to implementing a community-level approach to conflict analysis and peacebuilding work. Previously, she served as a Project Manager for the ACCELERE!1 education project, co-funded by USAID and DfID, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
