World Bank - Conference on Land and Poverty

Colleagues

 

For the past several years, I have provided logistical support for the World Bank's annual Conference on Land and Poverty. The meeting takes place in March and brings together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers - including some very high level people - from around the globe. 

 

In the wake of this year's meeting, I have suggested that we work to increase level of participation among the scientific community - and made the case that RSAI is the organization best positioned to contribute. Toward that end, I write to ask if you'd be interested in participating in the 2016 meeting - and, especially, if you'd be interested in helping to organize a session/s for the meeting? Ideally, I'd like to add at least five new sessions to the meeting.

 

A link to this year's conference is here:

A story about GWU's involvement in the conference - namely, our students - is available here:

I plan to meet with Klaus Deiniger, who runs the conference, to further discuss possibilities in early May. At the meeting, I hope to present Klaus with a list of prospective participants from our organization - so please let me know if you are interested. I don't need details at this point, just expressions of interest. The Land and Poverty Conference is a terrific venue for us - because it's a venue where some of our ideas find some policy traction.

 

Please send expressions of interest to me at: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. As usual - apologies for cross-postings.

 

Cheers,
