Headline Seminars

 

The World Bank has organized a series of high-level "Headline Seminars" on fragility and conflict on several of the key themes outlined in the Research, Knowledge, and Learning Program:

 

• State-building
• Deteriorating situations
• Rule of law
• Global and regional dimensions
• Inclusive growth 

The first three Headline Seminars were held at the Headquarters in Washington, DC. The fourth and fifth seminars in the series were held in Africa – Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and Cape Town, South Africa respectively – to allow for greater dialogue with partners outside of Washington. Details of all five seminars can be found here:

 

• Headline Seminar I - Transition from Conflict to Peace: Dynamic Tensions Between State-building and Peace-building 
• Headline Seminar II - Responding to Deterioration in Fragile and Conflict-affected Countries 
• Headline Seminar III - Rule of Law in Fragile and Conflict-Affected Situation 
• Headline Seminar IV - Regional and Global Dimensions of Conflict and Peace Building
• Headline Seminar V - Promoting inclusive growth & employment in fragile situations (April 12-13, 2010)
