Community of Practice Roundtable on Local Ownership

The Community of Practice Roundtable on Local Ownership was aimed at bringing together leading practitioners and policy experts from government institutions, civil society and academia, to debate current trends in integrating local communities in peacebuilding and conflict prevention; how to make external intervention more relevant to conflictaffected populations, and how to improve their effectiveness and sustainability. During the roundtable, the research findings of the scoping study on local ownership, Owning the Peace in International Interventions: a Delusion or a Possibility?, were discussed. The roundtable provided an opportunity to share insights and experiences, discuss practice and inform proposals for change.
