Post-Conflict Reconstruction

Building peace in the aftermath of conflict is a major developmental challenge. The risk of a resumption of conflict is always high in the post conflict phase. One of the strongest indicators of future conflict is prior conflict.

From the Balkans to West Africa, from Indonesia to the Horn of Africa, the importance of smart, strategic approaches to post conflict reconstruction is becoming increasingly apparent to donor governments, to international multilateral organisations like the World Bank and the UN, to regional organisations like the EU and the AU, and to conflict affected states and communities.

The requirements of the post-conflict reconstruction phase are many and complex. Our competencies in such settings are in five major areas: security sector reform; management of small arms and light weapons proliferation; disarmament, demobilisation, and reintegration; developmental dialogue and conflict-sensitive development; and early warning and risk assessment.

Within these service lines there are numerous approaches and methods. We never apply a standard “blue-print” approach to our work in post-conflict settings. Rather, we endeavour to tailor our work to the context and task at hand.
