Doel

[Tekst voorlopig alleen in het Engels beschikbaar]  

The CoCooN programme (Conflict and Cooperation over Natural Resources in Developing Countries) aims to contribute to sustainable development, poverty reduction and the realisation of the MDGs by adding to evidence-based policy development, interventions and practices in the field of conflict and cooperation on natural resources, and by contributing to adequately manage, resolve and learn from conflicts. Integrated knowledge, research and innovation projects (IPs) are to be carried out by consortia scientific and non-scientific partners from both the South and North.

  • Addis Ababa: for Africa and the Middle East
  • Bogota: for South and Central America
  • Hanoi: for Asia and Eastern Europe
