Post-Conflict Stabilisation in South East Europe - The Contribution of Capacity Building in Human Settlements
Day / Time Friday, June 23rd / 08:30 - 10:30
Event Description
South Eastern Europe has recently been riven by ethnic violence. This has now largely ceased, but the process of transition, reconciliation and socio-economic development still has a long way to go. The institutional and human capacity in SEE to respond positively to the new environment is limited. Cities are under pressure due to economically motivated rural-urban migration and a breakdown of control orientated systems. Drawing on the experience of developing a Regional Capacity Strengthening Programme for SEE, this event will look at alternative capacity strategies which can address these shortcomings in the human settlements sector, the contingent actions necessary to make them work, and the contribution they can make to sustainable stabilisation and socio-economic development in the region.
