Why Promote Empowerment in Post-conflict Situations?
23/01/2007 By Paula San Pedro
FRIDE has started the project Promoting empowerment in post-conflict scenarios with the establishment of an analytical framework that constitutes the base of the consecutive stages of the project.
To this end, a series of short documents has been published in order to clarify concepts, define instruments and analyse measures, with the objective of understanding postconflict situations, through a particular approach, the empowerment processes.
Subsequently, FRIDE will analyse the extent to which empowerment can be an efficient tool for conflict prevention and peace-building. Even though each separate document provides an independent analysis, the whole series presents a broader picture.
The ultimate goal of this project is to spark the recurrent debate over the need to conceive the concept of development from a standpoint other than the traditional one.
