When: 8 Apr 2010 - 9 Apr 2010
Theme: International assistance to constitution building processes

Constitution building processes play an important role in democratic reform, conflict management and peacebuilding.  However support to constitution building has not received the same level of scrutiny as other streams of assistance, such as electoral support, political party assistance, rule of law and others.  This dialogue is convened to interrogate practices of constitution building support among international actors.  Who are these external actors? How do their roles differ? What does constitution building assistance comprise of, and is it meeting the needs of national actors?  This event is the first in the International IDEA Constitution Building Programme Policy Series.

By invitation only.
