JICA-RI Hosts International Workshop on Post-Conflict Land and Property Problems

JICA-RI organized its third international workshop on the research project entitled “Land and Property Problems in Post-Conflict State-Building and Economic Development” on March 8 and 9. As the project plans to publish an English book based on the research findings by this summer, the main objective of this meeting was to discuss the draft of research outcomes, mainly on country case studies.

The workshop brought together the project members from Japan and five countries across various regions. They gave presentations on the results of the analyses for respective case study of eight countries including South Sudan, Rwanda, Timor-Leste, and Bosnia-Herzegovina. The participants exchanged their views on the presentations, with Professor Daniel Fitzpatrick of the Australian National University, who attended as a guest expert.

With the findings of the discussion during the workshop, the project team will closely review their research and deepen the discussion on comparison of each case study and policy implications for the preparation of a book from the international publisher.
