In order to achieve a more even and equitable distribution of goods, capital, or food, development policies and strategies are not enough. It is necessary to ensure policy coherence in all areas that have any influence on the development field or the development of “developing countries”.
– Maja Ladić on development policies
Dr. Maja Ladić is a researcher and project manager at the Peace Institute, working on human rights, migration and asylum, anti-discrimination, gender equality and social inclusion. Her work combines research, project management and advocacy, with a focus on structural inequalities, discrimination and racism. She is involved in the design and implementation of EU-funded projects (CERV, JUST, AMIF, FRA/FRANET etc.), including proposal writing, project implementation, coordination of international partnerships, monitoring and reporting. Her research addresses migration and asylum policies, hate crime and discrimination, and equality frameworks.
Between 2009 and 2020, she was leading development projects in Rwanda focusing on women’s education and socio-economic empowerment and community-led development, which informed also her doctoral research (The inclusion of gender dimension in the development strategies of developing countries: The case of Rwanda, University of Ljubljana).
