Dr Jonathan Goodhand and Dr Patrick Meehan kick off their Policy Lab on ‘Addressing paramilitary violence and organised crime in war to peace transitions’

Dr Jonathan Goodhand and Dr Patrick Meehan of The Centre for the Study of Illicit Economies, Violence, and Development (CIVAD), SOAS University of London, are leading an invitation-only Policy Lab this month.

This initiative brings together policymakers, practitioners, and researchers who aim to establish sustainable war to peace transitions in areas affected by paramilitary violence and organised crime.

The participants will analyse innovative approaches and models of policy and practice for peacebuilding in such places, keeping in mind the unique challenges of each context while identifying shared patterns and dynamics. Ultimately, the Policy Lab aims to explore, experiment and innovate new ideas and models that address the paramilitaries, organised crime nexus.
