Abstract
This report seeks to inform the
development of a framework for addressing governance reform
in fragile and conflict affected environments through are
view of international experiences. The report analyzes the
experience both of countries that sustained a transition to
peace and those that fell back into conflict. Pertinent
lessons will be drawn selectively from a range of fragile
and conflict affected countries, including Haiti, Cambodia,
Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mozambique, Liberia, Timor-Leste,
Afghanistan, Rwanda, Indonesia, Sierra Leone, and Angola. No
specific typologies have been adopted or formed in order to
assess these lessons, because typologies can be limiting and
experiences can be better assessed based on the specificity
of each country's context. The first section of the
report sets out broadly accepted definitions of key terms
such as governance, state building, and fragility. The
second section reviews experiences with diverse governance
dimensions and explores the objectives, opportunities, and
constraints associated with each.
