3-08-05 Economics and Conflict Workshop

A workshop sponsored by PASSN and CMM

On March 8, 2005, the Poverty Analysis and Social Safety Net (PASSN) Team (text-only) and the Office of Conflict Management and Mitigation (CMM) co-sponsored a workshop to explore key questions related to economics and conflict. Specifically, the workshop aimed to address:

What are the economic factors that drive conflict?
How are livelihoods affected by conflict?
What are the unique economic conditions in fragile, conflict, and post-conflict environments?
What programming options are best suited for these unique conditions?

The workshop objectives included the following:

To provide participants with a strong foundation of knowledge on the interconnection between economics and conflict and the implications for programming in fragile and conflict environments.
To identify issues not satisfactorily dealt with in the current research and literature.
To outline next steps for continuing the collaborative learning process between EGAT and DCHA.

Please find below several documents from the conference, including the workshop agenda and introduction, a list of participants, presentations by CMM and PASSN, and information sheets on PASSN and CMM.
