Register Now: Research Dissemination on Natural Resource Management in Mozambique
8 December 2022
3:00 PM EAT
Join the European Union-funded project, ‘Towards an Inclusive and Peaceful Society in Mozambique’ (TIPS) for a research dissemination on 8 December 2022 at 15:00-17:00 EAT on the root causes of natural resource conflicts and understanding the existing local peace building structures, including religious and traditional peace building mechanisms.
The TIPS project seeks to contribute to conflict prevention, crisis preparedness and response, and peacebuilding through inclusive natural resource governance and management in Mozambique. To bolster its effectiveness, the TIPS project conducted research on existing local natural resource conflicts and peacebuilding structures and actors. Through the mapping, the project was able to (1) understand the local context, conflict dynamics, and causes, and possible local solutions through local perceptions; (2) assess the needs, strengths, and constraints of project beneficiaries; and (3) assess the gendered and generational dynamics and dimensions of these conflicts.
The dissemination event will gather local and international stakeholders to learn more about the key findings of the research and potential mechanism to strengthen community-level interventions related to natural resource management.
