ICARRD Related Events : Special Thematic Sessions Print
 


The dialogue between various stakeholders was particularly dynamic and fruitful in the various Special Thematic Sessions held during the conference. Not less than 27 Special Thematic Sessions were organised by NGOs, civil society organisations or networks, universities, governments or international organisations (FAO, IFAD, IFPRI, UNDP, World Bank, etc.). Eleven sessions related to specific country or regional experiences (in Brazil, India, South Africa and other regions of Africa, Asia, the Pacific or Eastern Europe). Other sessions discussed agrarian reform or rural development issues from the point of view of specific groups: women (2 sessions on 8 March), the rural poor, indigenous peoples, youth, mountain populations, networks on rural development issues; or related to a specific development problem: land rights, organic agriculture, traditional farming systems, research, sustainable agriculture and rural development (SARD). One session also discussed issues regarding indicators for agrarian reform and rural development and the related mechanisms for the collection and analysis of appropriate data sets.
