We are pleased to launch a new practice note in the Peacebuilding Essentials for Economic Development Practitioners series.
Conflict-sensitive land policy and land governance in Africa 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 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
- Business environment reforms in conflict-affected contexts
- Foreign direct investment in conflict-affected contexts
- Socio-economic reintegration of ex-combatants
- Economic dimensions of peace processes
- Natural resource governance in conflict-affected contexts
- Conflict-sensitive land policy and land governance in Africa
Previous phases of the project received funding from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), and the United States Institute for Peace. This practice note series was made possible by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
