We are pleased to launch a new practice note in the Peacebuilding Essentials for Economic Development Practitioners series. [4]
Conflict-sensitive land policy and land governance in Africa [5]explains the importance of using a conflict-sensitive approach to land policy and land governance in conflict-prone or conflict-affected contexts and offers guidelines and principles on how economic development planners and practitioners can promote conflict-sensitive land policy reform and implementation.
Peacebuilding Essentials for Economic Development Practitioners [6] is a series of practice notes that Alert is producing, in partnership with leading experts and practitioners from relevant fields. The aims of the series are to:
- Introduce economic development practitioners to key economic recovery and peacebuilding challenges in conflict-affected and post-conflict countries;
- Share lessons and good practice on how to strengthen the economic dimensions of peacebuilding;
- Provide practitioners and planners with the knowledge and tools to ensure that their interventions are conflict-sensitive;
- Promote experience-sharing between economic development and peacebuilding practitioners, to enhance synergies between the two.
Topics covered in the series include:
- Market development in conflict-affected contexts [7]
- Business environment reforms in conflict-affected contexts [8]
- Foreign direct investment in conflict-affected contexts [9]
- Socio-economic reintegration of ex-combatants [10]
- Economic dimensions of peace processes [11]
- Natural resource governance in conflict-affected contexts [12]
- Conflict-sensitive land policy and land governance in Africa [13]
Previous phases of the project received funding from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) [14], and the United States Institute for Peace [15]. This practice note series was made possible by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. [16]
