GPPi coorganizes conference on business investment in post-conflict economies

GPPi cooperated with the German Federal Foreign Office and Wilton Park with the organization of an international high-level meeting on "Investing in Peace: Spurring Private Investment in Post-Conflict Economies" which took place on 11-13 January 2007, in Wilton Park, UK.

By bringing together representatives from the public, private and not-for-profit sectors to discuss strategies for supporting private investment in post-conflict economies, the conference explored the best ways for companies to manage risk in environments where stability, security, and basic infrastructure are not yet fully guaranteed, as well as analyzed how this investment could contribute to the peace process. In addition, the conference assessed the effectiveness of existing strategies and tools, while also identifying future areas of improvement.
