The Impact of Conflict on Households: Pointers for Practitioners
Public event sponsored by the Grant and Fellowship Program and Center for Sustainable Economies of the United States Institute of Peace
This public event looks at how different types of conflict affect economic behaviors at the household level. The presenters, Tilman Brueck and Kati Schindler, will discuss the impacts of conflict through the use of household survey data collected from both Mozambique and Rwanda, where post-conflict environments impaired household boundaries, asset endowments, and the types of income-generating activities households engaged in. They will also offer a set of policy recommendations for decision-makers and practitioners.
