GPPi coorganizing conference on business investment in post-conflict economies

GPPi is supporting the Federal Foreign Office with the conceptualization of an international high-level meeting on "Risk and Opportunity: Spurring Private Investment in Post-Conflict Economies" in Wilton Park, UK on 11-13 January 2007. 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 will explore the best ways for companies to manage risk in environments where stability, security, and basic infrastructure are not yet fully guaranteed.

 

In addition, the conference will assess the effectiveness of existing strategies and tools, while also identifying future areas of improvement. It also seeks to explore the potential role of innovative public-private partnerships in risk management.
