Document Summary
Getting postconflict interventions to work better is a good place to start especially because half of all civil wars are postconflict relapses. When it comes to aid, donors are learning that aid is more usefully phases over a decade rather than dumped in a rush as these situations take time to get better. In order to get around government incapacity, deliver basic services through independent service authority model where competing organizations provide the services on the ground while the authority finances and scrutinizes their performance. Security in postconflict socities will require an external military presence for a long time o o o. Both sending and recipient governments must commit to it. In order to be effective, an external presence requires troops with a mandate to fight to preserve the peace as well as contributing governments willing to accept causalities. In return, the postconflict government should be required to radically downsize its own army.
