On 15 March 1930 Chr. Michelsen Institute for science and intellectual freedom was founded “to foster tolerance between nations and races religious, social, economic and political.” 80 years later, this vision still drives our daily work at the Institute. This year’s annual report gives a snapshot of our research priorities and the questions that guide our research for development and justice.

Director´s introduction
We want to see progress in the fight against poverty. We want to see human rights respected. We want to see social development that is sustainable. We believe that research-based knowledge can drive the changes needed to realise these grand objectives, and we are working every day to enhance and communicate this knowledge.
CMI 2010
I
can hardly think of a more meaningful job, and I can hardly think of a greater privilege than to be the leader of a research institute that is dedicated to such a mission. In this my first year as the director of CMI, I want to express my profound gratitude and admiration to my predecessors and all the staff members for the great work that has brought us to where we are today. While I have humbly entered this position, I also took the position with the conviction that CMI has a lot more to contribute. 2010 marked CMI’s 80th anniversary. We used the opportunity to take stock and look ahead by drawing up a new strategy. CMI aims to be an internationally recognised development research institute. In the next strategy period, we will continue to cultivate those key factors that we believe are the basis for our significance and relevance: • High standards of academic scholarship in a multidisciplinary environment. • Solid contextual knowledge developed in close cooperation with local research institutions. • Active research communication with academia, policymakers, practitioners, and the public. We have also celebrated past achievements. Just Faaland, our pioneer who made CMI a development research institute, received the honourable Merdeka Award for his “outstanding contribution to the people of Malaysia.” Faaland participated in shaping the New Economic Policy of Malaysia, which has for decades contributed to reducing poverty and ethnic disparities. The acknowledgement of Faaland’s work is a great inspiration for all of us who believe that research-based knowledge can contribute to change.
It is gratifying that in 2010 we established yet another institutional research programme with a partner in the South, this time with the Centre for Policy Dialogue (CDP) in Bangladesh. The comprehensive research programmes offer unique opportunities for building strong country competence in many sectors simultaneously. Another important achievement was the establishment of the “International Centre for Tax and Development” in cooperation with the UK’s Institute of Development Studies. 2010 was our first full year at our new premises in downtown Bergen. The new location has brought new energy to our fruitful interactions with the University of Bergen. A new agreement of cooperation is found in the formal expression of our joint commitment to Bergen as a thriving driver of development research. The Bergen Resource Centre for International Development, our common venue for documenting and communicating development research, has greatly enhanced our visibility. This year, we reorganised our research groups into ten thematic research clusters, defined around our main, long-term research agendas. The purpose is to maintain a strong organisational focus on the level where research is initiated and conducted. We are also giving priority to further developing the research clusters as vigorous teams, making them dynamic drivers of research and communication. The following pages present the essentials about the activities of the research clusters.

religion in society Research on cultures and politics of faith investigates how religious groups express their faith in different settings and explores the dialectics between the local and the global. Our research seeks to grasp the power of religion in the framing, understanding, and motivation for social and political action.
CMI 2010
Research areas:
2010 Highlights:
• Religious institutional systems, community life, and aesthetics • Political structures, legal norms and ‘everyday’ religiosity • Gender and religious practices • Faith-based activism
New projects from the Research Council:
Regulating Religion: Secularism and Religious Freedom in the Global Era. This project explores the dilemmas involved in both protecting and enforcing religious freedom through the law. Kari Telle
Gendering Faith: Palestinian Women and the Islamic Revival Books 2010:
This project examines the nature and causes of the increasing public religiosity of Muslim women of the occupied Palestinian territories Hilde Granås Kjøstvedt and Anne Sofie Roald
Muslim Devotional Practices, Aesthetics, and Cultural Formation in Migrancy The project explores how devotional practices, such as praying, thanksgiving, honoring, and commemorating include aesthetical practices such as recitation, chanting, music, performance, images and food.
Contemporary religiosities: By combining theoretical reflection with vivid ethnographic explorations, this book advances a critical understanding of social and personal religious experience in today’s world.
Movements of people This is a book about people’s short and long journeys, crossing frontiers, individual movements from place to place, and the pulse/feel between past and present.

When women take control Grounded in local understandings of gender relations, our focus is on women’s survival and resilience strategies in extreme situations of poverty, violence, political and religious oppression and displacement. We look at a variety of arenas and spaces in which women seek empowerment. We study women not as victims, but as agents of change in their various roles from heads of households to militant activists.

2010 Highlights:
The politics of women’s representation in Sudan: Debating women’s rights in Islam from the elites to the grassroots Liv Tønnessen and Hilde Granås Kjøstvedt Sudanese Muslim women’s perception of gender equality is not unitary. Whereas liberal Muslim activists advocate for gender equality in all areas of law, conservative Muslim activists do not deem gender equality to be neither necessary nor desirable. They all frame their arguments within Islam, offering different interpretations of the Islamic law.
A woman should not be boss when a man is present. Gender and poverty in Southern Mozambique Inge Tvedten, Margarida Paulo and Minna Tuominen This is the third and final report in the series “Gender Policies and Feminisation of Poverty in Mozambique.” It reveals a curious incongruity between often broad and sweeping statements about gender inequality and the great variation and complexity in the lives of real men and women.

Quality healthcare Health plays a crucial role in human development and social justice. Large improvements in health outcomes of poor populations are technologically and economically feasible. Yet there are enormous challenges in implementing health systems that deliver quality services, and in overcoming the economic and social factors that produce ill-health and represent barriers to care.
2010 Highlights: Journal of Health Economics:
Overworked? On the relationship between workload and health worker performance Ottar Mæstad, Gaute Torsvik and Arild Aakvik Health workers are not overworked. Scaling up the number of health workers is unlikely to raise the quality of health services. Training has a positive effect on quality but is not in itself sufficient to raise quality to adequate levels.
current focus: • Health worker availability and performance • Utilisation of health services • Health and economic development • Health rights
Service Delivery Indicators Pilot CMI, in cooperation with the World Bank and the African Economic Research Consortium, piloted a new tool to measure and increase awareness of the quality of service delivery in health and education. The successful pilot has prompted the Hewlett Foundation to work towards an extensive scaling-up of the project in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Democratic governance without corruption CMI research on governance explores the conditions of a well-functioning system of democratic governance with low levels of corruption. What factors and mechanisms explain political and bureaucratic accountability in a given polity?
CMI 2010
Current focus:
2010 Highlights:
• Democratisation and elections
Angola: Research and institutional cooperation CMI-CEIC
• Local government • Global anti-corruption initiatives • Sector governance
The Centro de Estudos e Investigação Científica (CEIC), at the Universidade Católica de Angola (UCAN), is the key policy research think tank in Angola, and CMI’s main institutional partner in research on Angola. The first phase ended in 2010. The CMI-CEIC cooperation programme is dedicated to policy oriented studies that can contribute to policy analysis and policy debate in Angola, particularly on ‘resource curse’ related issues. The cooperation brings together CMI’s achievements and experience in policy research and CEIC’s thorough knowledge of the policy environment in Angola.
In search of the impact of international support for political parties in new democracies: Malawi and Zambia compared By Lise Rakner and Lars Svåsand in Democratization International party support brings new challenges for party institutionalisation in new democracies. This paper assesses the role of party assistance from the perspective of providers of international party support as well as the recipients of support.

Natural resources
Ivar Kolstad (Coordinator) Inge Amundsen Arne Wiig Tina Søreide Aslak Orre Iselin Åsedotter Strønen Aled Williams Odd-Helge Fjeldstad Ingrid Samset MA student: Aslaug Aarsæther
Oiled progress or foiled prospects? Natural resources have an ambiguous impact on development. Income from natural resources increases the wealth of nations directly. However, certain natural resources impair the development prospects of countries because natural resource rents generate dysfunctional behaviour such as patronage, rent-seeking or outright conflict. Our research focuses on natural resource ambiguities by analysing political and social mechanisms linking or delinking resources and development.
Current focus: • political economy • political and social mechanisms

2010 Highlight:
Good governance in Nigeria: A study in political economy and donor support Nigeria is heavily affected by the so-called resource curse, rent-seeking and elite capture of the state. Despite an estimated USD 400 billion in oil income since independence in 1960, the country has experienced five military coups, a civil war, very poor economic development and a skewed distribution of wealth. Corruption pervades all levels of government. The population is more impoverished now than it was 50
years ago. Yet today, the conditions for macroeconomic growth are the best they have been in the past 20 years. From a political economy perspective, this study provides an analysis that focuses on issues of governance, namely the management of oil resources, including revenues from the oil industry. Focus is also applied to the people’s participation and influence in public decision-making through civil society organisations and democratic elections.

Does Aid work? CMI does extensive work on development aid issues. This comprises of research as well as operational engagement with decision-makers and development aid practitioners. Research projects have focused on the role and relevance of aid. Dialogue and advisory work is crucial for increasing the relevance of our research, improving access to data and deepening our knowledge of challenges facing development. The bulk of CMI’s project income is also derived from aid agencies.
CMI 2010
Current focus: • The global architecture and changing aid policies • Emerging South powers • Poverty reduction • Donor support to peacebuilding • NGOs and delivery of aid • The gender dimension in Norwegian development assistance
2010 Highlights:
A development road show? From Monterrey and Paris to Doha and Accra: Is the Windhoek Declaration improving relations between SADC and its international cooperating partners? Munesti Madakufamba and Elling N. Tjønneland This article analyses how the international aid architecture is operationalised in a regional context. It is the final output of a four-year project that monitors and evaluates donor support to SADC.
Afghan hydrocarbons: A source for development or for conflict? A risk assessment of Norwegian involvement in the development of the Afghan oil and gas industry Arne Strand, Mohammad Hakim, Sediqa Newrozi, Akbar Sarwari and Aled Williams Since 2007, Norad has been engaged in capacity building and provision of technical support to the Afghan Ministry of Mines. This includes assistance on the development of the Afghan hydrocarbons law, and the commercialisation of gas and oil reserves through an international bidding process. The review identifies a range of risks and challenges and advises Norad to halt further engagement on policy matters until there is clarity on how the Government of Afghanistan aims to develop and utilise these resources.

Public finance management
Odd-Helge Fjeldstad (Coordinator) Jan Isaksen Tina Søreide
It’s all about tax How can developing countries produce an efficient, responsive and accountable public sector? Most poor states are unable to raise the revenue they need for providing basic services to the majority of their citizens. Our research focuses on how governments in poor countries can raise and manage domestic financial resources in ways that enhance their effectiveness and political legitimacy.
Current focus: • Tax policies and administration • Tax havens and capital flight • Tax and public service production
2010 Highlight:
Financed by DFID and Norad, the International Centre for Tax and Development was established in November 2010. The ICTD is dedicated to mobilising knowledge that will help make tax policies more conducive to pro-poor economic growth and good governance. If the governments of poorer countries were to tax more effectively, there would be substantial positive effects on private enterprise, economic growth, the legitimacy and effectiveness of public authority, equity and social cohesion.

The Chr. Michelsen Lecture
Albie Sachs: The Role of Courts in Social Transformation «Rights empower. Rights provide dignity and can bring about change. Rights ensure change in a predictable and principled way.» The new South African Constitution included social and economic rights as fundamental rights on the same basis as civil liberties and political rights. Yet, giving meaning and significance to the text of the constitution proved a challenging task. Albie Sachs took us on an engaging journey into the deliberations of a constitutional court
judge, a judge in a court which shaped the new South Africa and framed the rights of all South Africans. «Interests collide,» says Sachs. «There is not always a right answer.» Competing values require mediation and engagement in order to reach settlements. Society and courts must embrace all, and sometimes they must order mediation or engagement. Upholding the law is about reconciling interests.
The Chr. Michelsen Lecture
From an early age Albie Sachs played a prominent role in the struggle for justice in South Africa. He is one of the chief architects of the post-apartheid constitution, and for fifteen years, he served as a member of the South African Constitutional Court.

Publications 2010
More books With three monographs and seven edited books, 2010 was a year of book publications at CMI. Within the last few years, our publication profile has shifted from reports and working papers to articles and book chapters. Through publications in external report series, our own brief series, issue papers and practice insights, we tailor and target research outputs to policy makers and development practitioners. We participate in the Norwegian public discourse. In 2010, we published 37 op-eds, gave numerous interviews and had three regular columnists.
Social Media In 2010 we expanded our online presence, and stepped in to the realm of the social media, with targeted use of Facebook and Twitter to inform and interact. We also entered the digital village by streaming events and making audio and video materials available on our website.
