The Impact of Conflict on Households: Pointers for Practitioners
A Public event sponsored by the Grant and Fellowship Program and Center for Sustainable Economies, USIP

This public event looks at how different types of conflict affect economic behaviors at the household level. Presenters Tilman Brueck and Kati Schindler will discuss the impacts of conflict through the use of household survey data collected from both Mozambique and Rwanda, where post-conflict environments impaired household boundaries, asset endowments, and the types of income-generating activities households engaged in. They will also offer a set of policy recommendations for decision-makers and practitioners. The event will take place Tuesday, April 28, 2009 from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM at the U.S. Institute of Peace (2nd Floor Conference Room A, 1200 17th St, NW, Washington, DC 20036).
