Crisis and Recovery in Africa: Reducing Poverty, Promoting Growth in Post-conflict Zimbabwe
-

This is a past event

Dr Chimhowu is Associate Director: Brooks World Poverty Institute at the University of Manchester.
Dr Kaulem works at the African Forum for Catholic Social Teaching, Harare, Zimbabwe and is a Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Aberdeen Centre for Sustainable International Development.

Dr Chimhowu has since early 2009 led a group of Zimbabweans in collaboration with the Centre for Applied Social Sciences at the University of Zimbabwe in an intellectual project to understand the decade old socio- political crisis and prospects for recovery, reconstruction and development in Zimbabwe. In December 2009 a report (the main output of this work) entitled: 'Moving Forward in Zimbabwe: Reducing Poverty and Promoting Growth' was released. The report's main narrative is that an agrarian-led growth strategy is the quickest way to a poverty focused recovery, reconstruction and development. In this seminar presentation Dr Chimhowu will talk about this agriculture-led recovery reconstruction and development as well as other key themes in the report and draw some lessons for recovery from conflict in Africa.Admos ChimhowuCV-2010a.pdf 

Dr Kaulem will discuss the role of the Church in recovery in Zimbabwe with examples from other countries in Sub-Saharan Africa.DKaulemCV SuSuVersionFinal1.pdf
