An eIntern can help CSO enhance stabilization instruction by providing relevant analysis. An eIntern will research case studies, with a focus on the Middle East and Africa, to determine what processes or interventions were most helpful or harmful to a stabilization process in a conflict country. Many intervention examples that need further research are: counter terrorism; countering violent extremism; peace keeping; military intervention; peace agreement; humanitarian disaster; famine; Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration; and many others.
CSO is a leader in creating the Stabilization Assistance Review, a guiding document for how the United States aims to do and promote stabilization. Further, the eIntern could potentially assist in the structure and presentation of this analysis for training purposes.
