Policy Analysis Recovering from War: Gaps in Early Action   01 Jul 2008
Source: Rahul Chandran, Bruce Jones and Natasha Smith with Yoshino Funaki and Gigja Sorensen, New York University Center on International Cooperation (CIC)This paper analyzes progress and gaps in international responses and capabilities to mobilize support for early recovery after conflict and crisis. The main issues covered include: early recovery; international coordination; national capacity and strategic, capacity, and funding gaps; and case studies of countries such as Sierra Leone, Sudan, and Afghanistan. The authors argue that there are three primary weaknesses in international performance in early recovery: the strategic gap, financing gaps, and several capacity gaps. The authors conclude that improvements in the international capacity to respond to the needs of early recovery will depend on addressing all three key gaps within national political contexts.
