Poverty Reduction in Conflict and Fragile States: Perspectives from a Household Level
Washington D.C., United States, 8-9 November 2006.

USAID's Office of Poverty Reduction (PR), the Households in Conflict Network (HiCN) and the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin) will co-sponsor a two-day international conference on the special challenge of poverty reduction in conflict and fragile states. Examining the relationship between conflict and state fragility at the household level provides an opportunity to understand how these factors affect household behaviour, welfare and poverty. This, in turn, is important for shaping successful programmatic and policy responses.
