Abstract
This note looks at the challenge of
capacity building in post conflict countries, including at
options for creating capacity, and the trade-offs between
speed, and longer-term impact, the need to ensure that aid
management agencies include sunset provisions, and six
proposed general lessons for more sustainable capacity
building. Rebuilding institutions is much more difficult
than rebuilding damaged infrastructure. Capacity building is
an enormous challenge, a challenge that requires
imagination, cooperation, and hard work among those who seek
to improve the conditions of conflict-affected countries.
