2019 SEEP Annual Conference

More Info

The 2019 SEEP Annual Conference theme – Building Resilience through Market Systems – will highlight proven and experimental strategies that harness the potential of the market to support people, enterprises and communities that are highly vulnerable to the shock-stress-shock cycle. Shocks and stresses are increasing in frequency and intensity around the globe. Climate and weather variability, population dynamics, local and global price shocks, illness and disease, political instability, and conflict are intersecting in complex ways that threaten the lives and livelihoods of people and erode hard-fought development gains. Consequently, SEEP members are becoming increasingly focused on strategies that identify opportunities to mitigate risks and decrease vulnerabilities for priority populations including women, smallholder farmers, refugees, internally displaced persons and other marginalized groups. Market systems approaches are an important means to this end.

SEEP Members will chair 20 engaging Peer Learning Sessions around the conference's four technical tracks. The technical tracks were created by the Advisory Committee and responds directly to our members' work in financial inclusion, fragile and conflict-affected environments, women's economic empowerment and the application of data. Sessions in each of the tracks may be cross-cutting, representing dynamic and relevant issues related to multiple tracks.
