On 14 December SIPRI hosted a World Bank expert workshop on local violence in developing countries. The aim of the workshop was to examine interactions between donors, conflict actors and local communities.
The workshop’s outcomes helped inform the findings of the World Development Report 2014: Managing Risk for Development (WDR 2014).
The event was co-chaired by SIPRI’s Director designate, Professor Tilman Brück, and Rasmus Heltberg, Senior Social Development Specialist and member of the core team for WDR 2014.
