Appendix 2 for Chapter 1

Abstract

The first part of the book relies on the data collected by the author from leading donors’ official documents, combined with independent accounts of relevant events and ideas from other scholars, experts, and practitioners. The study employed a combination of coding (the main categorizing strategy in qualitative research) and contextualizing strategies to analyze this data. In qualitative design the goal of coding is not to produce counts of items, but “to ‘fracture’ the data and rearrange it into categories that facilitate comparison between items in the same category and between categories” (Fankfort-Nachmias & Nachmias, 2000, p. 89). Such categorization of the data helps to organize, analyze, and retrieve the data, and identify themes that assist in the understanding of the subject of study (ibid.).
