The World Bank’s 2020 Land and Poverty Conference postponed until further notice

The global situation with the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus) has been developing rapidly over the recent past with numerous new cases raising significant concerns at a global level.
 
To ensure the health and safety of all participants, the World Bank has decided to cancel/postpone all major events and conferences until further notice.
 
It will thus not be possible for the 2020 Land and Poverty conference to be held as planned on March 16-20.
 
The conference team is currently exploring if holding the conference later in the year is an option and will soon share information on a possible alternative date as well as the modalities for getting conference fees refunded in case of cancellation.
 
We will keep you informed on any new developments concerning the conference.
