On January 23, 2024, Christopher Rohles, doctoral fellow at the Peace Academy, gave a lecture on land reforms in the Global South, which are often financed with funds from development cooperation. The lecture took place as part of the Peace Academy's Landau Peace Lectures in St. Catherine's Chapel. Using the example of Sierra Leone, he showed how grants and the associated conditions imposed by development cooperation actors can be an obstacle to land reforms. In the lecture and the subsequent discussion, questions were raised in this context with regard to the continuation of (colonial) foreign domination as well as dependencies and challenges for governments and local communities. The Peace Lecture was attended by development organizations, students and other interested parties.
